Ruhrfisch comments: While this is an interesting article, I do not think it is yet ready for FLC. Thanks for your work on it, and here are some suggestions for improvement.
- A model article is useful for ideas and examples to follow. The two most recent FL discography articles are Mariah Carey singles discography and Celine Dion singles discography and I would look at these carefully and compare this article to them.
- I do not think the current lead really follows WP:LEAD. For one things the first sentence does not meet the requirement there that The article should begin with a declarative sentence telling the nonspecialist reader what (or who) is the subject. The subject is the discography of the group, not the history of the group. Looking at the two recent FL discographies, one starts with The singles discography of American recording artist Mariah Carey consists of sixty–one official singles, six promotional singles and eight other appearances. and the other with The singles discography of Canadian recording artist Celine Dion consists of 137 singles and 5 charity records.
- I think I would start this article with something more like The discography of the American rock band Linkin Park consists of four full-length studio albums, two live albums, ten extended plays, 20 singles, seven video albums, and 29 music videos.
- Done
- Focus on the discography. I would only include history that directly affects the discography - so Xero is out as they seem not to have released anything under this name, but keep Hybrid Theory as they released an EP.
- Done
- Not sure about the band members - I only looked until I found two discographies, but they were of singles and by individual artists. It would help to find recent FL discographies about bands / groups, and preferentially discographies that had all their output (not just singles or albums). Wilco discography is a FL by a group and may be a useful model.
- I realize there is a general reference here, but parts of this look under-referenced to me. What are the sources for the soundtracks or compilations, for example? I looked at the Allmusic article (the general ref) and did not see any sort of mention of these.
- Done
- I would try to be as consistent on information provided as possible - why do some albums have WB catalog numbers and others do not, for example?
- Done
- Given the new emphasis on making sure copyright is respected here, please make sure that the existing text includes no copyright violations, plagiarism, or close paraphrasing. For more information on this please see Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches
