Nominator(s): Pantera5FDP (talk) 02:11, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
- Bad start in the lead; don't write in boldface, don't start with sentences like "This is a list" or "The discography of"; instead start like this: "Five Finger Death Punch is an American heavy metal band formed in California. Its discography currently consists of two studio albums, one extended play, nine singles and five music videos."
- Music videos: "Never Enough" unreferenced
- Other appearances: "Hard to See", TNA Reaction unreferenced
- The band's follow-up album War Is the Answer, was released on September 22, 2009 selling 44,000 copies in its first week debuting at #7 on the Billboard 200. — wrong punctuation: The band's follow-up album War Is the Answer was released on September 22, 2009, selling 44,000 copies in its first week, debuting at #7 on the Billboard 200.
- War Is the Answer has gone on to sell over 340,000 copies in the United states. — United States

Fixed. Pantera5FDP (talk) 02:23, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The major issues is that the lead is unreferenced, even if some items should be referenced, most notably the sales.--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫T 07:38, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
- I agree with GreatOrangePumpkin. Many facts, like sales and band formation, are unsourced.
- Please do not use "#" to denote number.
- Begin with something like "The discography of Five Finger Death Punch, an American heavy metal band, consists of..."

Third one not done. It's okay though. More comments:

Many online sources are italicized. They should not be. Only print sources must be italicized.
For MTV references it should be MTV. MTV Networks (Viacom) and not MTV.com
Back to tables, can you expand CD and DI on its first occurrence?
If possible, add a column to the studio albums table (maybe "Sales and certifications"). Add the certifications from RIAA. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Comment OK, nicely done, but peak positions should not be referenced in the lead, as they are already below. Ref 1 needs format=video.--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫T 10:07, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, fixed. Pantera5FDP (talk) 00:12, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 18:48, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mild oppose

I would merge para 1 and 2, starting the (old) para 2 with "The band was..."
Try to think of a different way of saying "was formed" because it's a little repetitive.
Not sure how a band can be formed by one person. And is there any context to the fact he was Hungarian? What are the nationalities of the other members?
"about joining the band." reads a little sloppily.
Their stuff seemed to do better in Finland than the US, so worth mentioning (at least) album performance in Finland in the lead.
"band began attracting mainstream attention after supporting" - "band began to attract ..."
If albums are supposed to be displayed in italics, then War is the Answer should be italicised.
"War Is the Answer has also gone on " don't see why "also" is used here.
"The band is currently recording their third..." vs "Its discography currently" band is singular or plural?
EP release is not cited.
Dying Breed and No-one Gets Left Behind are not cited.
Stranger Than Fiction -> Stranger than Fiction.
En-dashes in the reference titles instead of spaced hyphens per WP:DASH please see 11, 13, 15 to 17.
Youtube is not considered a reliable source (or at least it wasn't last time I looked)

Okay, I think I fixed everything. Pantera5FDP (talk) 01:57, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose CFORK. It has 2 albums, 1 ep, and 9 singles. How can this not be easily merged into the parent article? Two albums does not make a stand-alone article. Nergaal (talk) 04:48, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
