So I was working on a discog I was hoping to eventually see through to FL-status, but I'm having a hard time finding info for all of the music-video directors. And it struck me: is this stuff really necessary in a discography? I've been a part of alot of flc's for discogs, and every once and a while a list is failed basically because the list of directors is either incomplete or is lacking a reliable source or two. Is this a standard we really want to keep this lists to? Is this necessary? We usually don't require the producer, for example, to be included with the albums, so are the music video directors in a similar category? I'm not trying to get around doing this work for lists I'm working, it's just that as far as I know this question has never been specifically posed, and I'm not really sure where we (as a project) stand on the issue. Any thoughts? Drewcifer (talk) 03:13, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

What discography? Normally when I find the name of a music video director, I also find information like the year it was created, the album, etc.--Cannibaloki 03:26, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

LCD Soundsystem discography. As far as I can tell sources for the directors besides nvdbase.com just don't exist. But like I said, I wasn't asking because of this particular list, I was asking a in broad project-wide sense. Drewcifer (talk) 03:58, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello Wikiproject! Currently there is a discussion which will decide whether wikipedia will delete 49,000 articles about a living person without references, here:

Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

Since biographies of living people covers so many topics, many wikiproject topics will be effected.

The two opposing positions which have the most support is:

1. supports the deletion of unreferenced articles about a living person, User:Jehochman
2. opposes the deletion of unreferenced articles about a living person, except in limited circumstances, User:Collect

Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that by default, editor's comments are hidden. Simply press edit next to the section to add your comment.

Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced BLP articles if they are not sourced, so your project may want to source these articles as soon as possible. See the next, message, which may help.

heya, was wondering if anybody could review the above for FLC and add any comments here? thanks :) Mister sparky (talk) 22:01, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello! I tagged the Dinosaur Jr. discography as needing an expert - it certainly needs one! The numbers are likely incorrect - I used numbers from AllMusic.com but it's clear that some of their songs were established as singles in the UK. Additionally, their footer box seems to be out of date or incorrectly organized. It links to singles articles that have not been created.

Hope someone sees this request and can assist. Thank you very much. mheart (talk) 03:59, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Should discographies (i.e., a "Discography" section in an article about a musician) be in chronological order or reverse-chronological order, or neither? Is there an MoS that addresses this? I've seen past proposals in various talk page archives, but can't find anything that explicitly says "this is a guideline" etc. Thanx, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 00:45, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Releases should be listed in chronological order. This is covered at WP:LOW#Discographies. — ξ^xplicit 00:47, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
