Devin Townsend discography edit

Nominator(s): Gendralman (talk) 00:47, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am renominating this for featured list. The first nomination didn't get very far, but I think the article's been improved quite a bit since I originally nominated it. I'd like to give this another shot. Gendralman (talk) 00:47, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- I support based on my original review, but I'm still curious and puzzled about the inclusion of the discography of his other project. --Tru co ₅₀₃ 00:47, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The webcitation links don't work; check the toolbox to your right (external links). Dabomb87 (talk) 00:45, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The whole site is down. This should be temporary; see WebCite#Outages. —Gendralman (talk) 00:53, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My comments were resolved at the previous FLC; however, I am witholding my support due to concerns brought up by Drewcifer3000 (talk · contribs). I've contacted him, and when his concerns are resolved, I will support. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:16, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I ran this article through AWB and found a couple of minor errors that I fixed. I will come back and look at it closer soon. --Kumioko (talk) 04:05, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"{{DEFAULTSORT:Devin Townsend Discography}}" What does that do? —Gendralman (talk) 13:25, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In this case Nothing I don't even know why it added it so I removed it. --Kumioko (talk) 14:55, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for now—Only releases issued under the moniker "Devin Townsend" should be listed in this discography. The Strapping Young Lad stuff should go (that's meant for the SYL discography). indopug (talk) 06:29, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - SYL discography should be separate, the mention of the band in the lead is enough to show his involvement. No sources for music videos, Other collaborations or Production credits and involvement on other albums sections. All Notes sections are entirely unsourced - of course some don't really require sources, such as the band's release name. If you went for a SYL discography FLC, you'd have a better chance in my opinion. k.i.a.c (talktome - contribs) 13:21, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Just to put this in perspective, an SYL article would only have 17 entries, and List of awards and nominations received by Sam Roberts (a featured list with 24 entries) was delisted and merged for being too short. I'm totally willing to split it off, but I need an argument a little more substantial than "that's the way it should be". If I split off an SYL discography, I'm going to take that to FLC too, and I'd like to be reassured that it's not going to be deleted six months later like the Sam Roberts list was. —Gendralman (talk) 14:34, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus is that discographies are more deserving of stand-alone lists than awards lists are. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:44, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, consider this a withdrawal for now. I'll split the article and nominate it again soon. Thanks for being patient with me, everyone. —Gendralman (talk) 23:51, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
