It must be mentioned that Frank Sinatra was also a producer of many of his own records. In 1960, he formed his own label, Reprise Records, and made quite a significant number of gold and platinum albums during the 1960s, 70s and 80s.
As music director, Frank Sinatra directed the orchestra on several albums, the best known is Tone Poems which he also co-produced.
As film and TV director, Frank Sinatra directed None but the Brave (1965), in which he also starred. he also directed two TV episodes of The Frank Sinatra Show.
Note Sinatra has no credit as a producer on A Hole in the Head, and is an executive producer on The First Deadly Sin. More importantly, putting "director" in the opening sentence would lead the reader to believe Sinatra directed a lot more than one film and two episodes of a variety show. While this should be mentioned in the article, it is not enough to support "director" being listed in the lead as an occupation. - Gothicfilm (talk) 14:00, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
Wrong info about antidepressants
The text says "He also suffered from dementia-like symptoms due to his usage of antidepressants." Actually, this nonsense was said by his manager, as the link shows.
Moreover, it is a fact that antidepressants do not cause dementia-lime sympthoms. 2804:14C:87D6:705E:DCA8:4231:5594:81F5 (talk) 04:17, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
Length
At over 16k words of readable prose, this article is too long to read comfortably. It would be beneficial to condense and/or migrate content to subarticles to make this one more readable. Nikkimaria (talk) 19:31, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
I would also like to mention the sheer amount of references on this article. You know you’ve gone a bit overboard if an article about a person has the same amount of citations as the United States (609). Eticangaaa (talk) 18:07, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
Lowercase or uppercase?
A few days ago I had written the titles of all the paragraphs with a lowercase initial, a little while ago someone entered capital letters but did not respect the consistency. Obviously I will not intervene, but since the paragraph "Music career" is uppercase, while the paragraph "Film career" is lowercase, I would like us to agree on which one to insert for the whole article, whether lower or uppercase. JackkBrown (talk) 17:24, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
@JackkBrown, there was a recent RfC on the question of capitalization after a colon in a section heading. It found consensus for the use of either lowercase or uppercase; generally, an article should use one or the other consistently. After your edit, @Dima110: changed one heading to capital letters, and @Carlinal: changed several others. Perhaps they can explain the basis for their change and why they didn't make all of the headings consistent. Schazjmd(talk)17:36, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
*Eating Christmas candy while on the phone listening to someone's body of work* Hm?
Oh, you mean this. Well, I hoped I was consistent there, even if Consistency isn't my middle name. I focused only on the headings but not the sub-headings, which I now noticed and should've done. I also capitalized "Reprise years" because, uh, it was clearly referring to his music label? My apologies. I aimed to do what was standard, overall. Carlinal (talk) 19:41, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
