 * Result: Delist per comments below and lack of subsequent interest in fixing them. I tried to brush up the prose a little on my read through, but this needs renomination and a fresh review. Geometry guy 20:28, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

As the GA reviewer, I think I might've been a little hasty. There are plenty of unsourced statements throughout, and some issues.
 * Yeah, because you removed them. Ain't it funny how you remove sources then put up tags and list the page here? If the sources were bad, perhaps you could've replaced them yourself rather than dragging it through this process. --Lost Fugitive (talk) 01:58, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

For instance, I pruned the references to http://www.musicianguide.com, http://www.lpdiscography.com, http://www.oldies.com and http://www.waymarking.com, but had the first two reverted by the article's main editor (who has a long history of WP:OWN). Overall, the article feels a little underdeveloped in the prose, and the removal of the questionable sources has left a few sentences now unsourced (last two paragraphs of "later career" and a quote in "musical styles"). There are also occasional issues with OR, such as "the R&B flavored "Suspicions" from his 1979 album Loveline, was an even greater crossover success." There are also very few reviews outside Allmusic cited. Surely Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, etc. grabbed onto his albums too.

 * Concerns
 * 1) Copyright violations from {http://www.lyricsfreak.com/e/eddie+rabbitt/biography.html} found using this tool.
 * Strike that, the copyvio is the other way, lifted from an earlier version on Wikipedia. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 22:03, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I have sent a standard copyvio email to LyricsFreak. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 22:31, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) ref # 23 redirects to the front page of a record shop
 * Dead link
 * 1) Prose: His body was interred at the Calvary Cemetery in Nashville, following a private burial on May 8. Interment and burial mean the same thing - were there two burials?
 * Un-addressed –– Jezhotwells (talk) 18:38, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Citation needed tag needs addressing
 * Still un-addressed –– Jezhotwells (talk) 18:38, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed. --Lost Fugitive (talk) 01:58, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) The pet ownership stuff seems a little like trivia.
 * Still un-addressed –– Jezhotwells (talk) 18:38, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) The death section might be better after or as a part of the personal life section
 * That's all for now. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:59, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Two disambig, American Boy; Calvary Cemetery –– Jezhotwells (talk) 18:38, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * AS nothing appears to be done about the concerns raised, I think that this should be de listed now. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 18:38, 15 April 2010 (UTC)


 * This article is a good B-class article, but a poor GA-class. There are quite a few sections which need citations, and I've tried to do a bit of copyediting where I can. Ironholds (talk) 17:40, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
