Is there a consensus that discographies should use scope="col" and scope="row"? DPUH (talk) 09:43, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewers for discographies at featured lists usually require them and most that have been promoted, in the last couple of years at least, use them. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:46, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks, I'll follow suit then. DPUH (talk) 18:16, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Somewhat related to this project, Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Backlog elimination drive: Album covers is an effort to reduce the number of infoboxes lacking album covers. Participation welcome! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:02, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How I can find latest featured discographies? There is only few entries for whole 2021? Eurohunter (talk) 19:25, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There probably aren't any – not many editors work on this WikiProject, so it's likely that nobody has nominated many discographies for featured status. Richard3120 (talk) 19:29, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So far in 2021, the following discographies have been promoted to featured list:

• American Football discography
• Amy Grant discography
• Dua Lipa discography
• Discography of Sibelius symphony cycles
• Harry Styles discography
• Johnny Winter discography (also appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page as Today's featured list on May 24, 2021)
• Lana Del Rey discography
• mewithoutYou discography
• Regine Velasquez discography
• Taylor Swift singles discography

These may be found by clicking on the number next to FL[1] in the "Discography pages by quality" box on the project page. Recent candidates are listed under "Article alerts – Featured list candidates".

@Ojorojo: Thanks. Eurohunter (talk) 20:27, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What about singles sales data in Lana Del Rey discography? I would see them in every dicography. Eurohunter (talk) 20:48, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on whether you can find reliable sources that state her singles sales, I guess. Richard3120 (talk) 21:39, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Richard3120: Of course but no one add them even if there are sources. Eurohunter (talk) 16:21, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Eurohunter: there seems to be sales data in Lana Del Rey discography#Singles. Was there something else you were asking about? Richard3120 (talk) 16:45, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Richard3120: This is the only example or probably one of very few. This is the concern. Eurohunter (talk) 16:48, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I misunderstood you – I thought you were saying that Lana Del Rey's discography didn't have singles sales, but you are asking why don't more discographies include singles sales, like Lana Del Rey's discography does, for example. Yes, I guess, editors just don't choose to add them. Richard3120 (talk) 16:51, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sales figures are very frequently unsourced or, when sourced (somehow), wildly inflated, so we don't encourage their inclusion. It would be relevant information, yes, but verification is something of an obstacle, unfortunately. — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 18:11, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear editors, could you please share what rules and criteria we use to create a separate article related to an artist's discography. I'll be very grateful for your answer. Sincerely, Գարիկ Ավագյան (talk) 17:27, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mainly it's a matter of if the section is taking up a disproportionate amount of space in an article, as outlined here. QuietHere (talk) 20:46, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Size is the usual primary factor, but along with the disproportionate amount of space guideline if the article is too long, splitting the discography section is a good first option. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:02, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
