Age

Rick's age is unsourced here, and there is contradictory information elsewhere. Going to remove but open to seeing other sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redtitann (talk • contribs) 20:29, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is it me or does the selected discography basically read as a list of Lana Del Ray songs? Surely songs like Heaven is A Place On Earth should feature?

'Selected' discography

This is a very poor list that breaks a number of guidelines. This isn't discogs or WP:NOTCV not a dumping ground for a musician to list some of their past work without paying attention to requirements for listing info etc. Same issue with the awards. I went to great effort to put the specifics of the 2 notable awards won, but these were inappropriately removed. We do NOT open a profile with their accolades - look at Al Pacino, Michael Jackson or Nelson Mandela for examples of the opening sentences - these people are amongst the most accomplished and notable in their fields and their articles do not attempt to portray greatness through the list of awards before the subject's fields have even been established. We played this game several times in 2016 and it grows tiresome. Rayman60 (talk) 23:07, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a weird sentence.

"He has co-written and co-produced over 90 hit singles with multiple artists and his songs have appeared on over 250 million albums." I don't think that many different albums have been released in the history of music. I'm thinking this either is supposed to say his songs have appeared on over 250 albums (doubtful), or that albums his songs have appeared on have a combined sales of over 250 million copies. I'm not sure which, if either, of these are true so I can't really change the sentence. PatConolly (talk) 06:06, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
