This article is about one of American singer Madonna's most inconic, famous and well-known songs: 1986's "La Isla Bonita". I have tried several times (4 as of today) to get this particular good article promoted to featured status. I have fixed all the comments that were left on its past nominations and fully and firmly believe it's more than ready to be promoted.

• Many of the references are defaulting to the archive link instead of the still live links, meaning you'll need to add the |url-status=live parameter to them.
• Ref 37 – Missing the authors
• Ref 59 – Unless they do things differently at FAC, my understanding is you're meant to list Vincennes Sun-Commercial as the newspaper, Associated Press as the publisher, and for the via parameter to point to Newspapers.com instead of via the newspapers itself.
• Ref 68 – Based on your citation style, which appears to be wikilinking the first time something appears in the references, this should not link to Billboard since you did so in ref 9
• Ref 71 – Same as above
• Ref 202 – Same as above
• Ref 78 – The wikilinked entries in the reference are already linked in ref 77
• Ref 196 – The wikilinked entries in the reference are already linked in ref 77
• Ref 83 – Links to Official Charts Company, which has already been linked in ref 22
• Ref 133 – Associated Press appears to be the publisher
• Ref 161 – Note as subscription requred

That's what I noticed when looking through and focusing on reference formatting consistency, checking sources without an author listed, and checking sources that I know often republish others' work. Please ping me when you reply. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:28, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there @Hey man im josh:! Regarding Refs 71, 202, 78 and 196: The wikilinked entries are linked per Template:Single chart. There's no way to un-link them from there (see "Output" section on the Template's page, as well as my comments on Source & spot check on the previous nomination) I will get back to your first point tomorrow first thing.--Christian (talk) 01:17, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
