Improve/Update Sales Information for Kamikaze

Please improve Eminem's sales information for the album, "Kamikaze," as it has been listed as "US: 252,000" without an update for almost as long as it has been out. The update should include an increase in the sales in the U.S. and provide sales for Worldwide, and other countries with substantial sales. Also, if needed the awards should be updated. If someone is experienced in this or has knowledge of such information, please help! Thank you!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiiFacts (talk • contribs) 01:49, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kamikaze has reached Platinum, exceeding sales of 1 million equivalent units

As Forbes reported, Kamikaze has sold more than 1 million equivalent units in the US. The wiki page mentions only pure sales of the first week which is nearly 2 months ago.^[1]

Marshal Mather LP 2 has sold over 4 million units in the US

RIAA.com reports that Marshal Mather LP 2 has received 4x Platinum which is given for at least 4 million certified units. The page also mentions that at least 4 million certified units were sold. The wiki page is contradictory. On one had it acknowledges 4x Platinum (which equals 4 million units) but then it states that only around 2 million units were sold. ^[1]

Revival has sold over a half million certified units

Riaa.com reports that Revival has received Gold by selling over a half million units. The wiki page is contradictory. It acknowledges the gold award but not the half million sold units required for the gold award. ^[1]

On the contrary, units aren't the same thing as actual sales when they include streams. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:58, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The album does have more album sales than claimed by the article however. From the Revival wikipedia article ^[2] Vaxine21 (talk) 19:36, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Chartdata is a questionable source at best with no none credentials and shouldn't be used for claims. Snuggums (talk / edits) 20:11, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should it be removed from the other article? Vaxine19 (talk) 16:15, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, remove any use of Chartdata. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 16:44, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Meets Evil EP

Many other discographies for artists include their work as a group.

Under EPs, it should have Hell: The Sequel (As Bad Meets Evil with Royce da 5’9”).

Might also want to include his work with Soul Intent and the other group. He brought out about 3 other EPs (as M&M).

Requested move 23 December 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved to the proposed title at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 05:06, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Eminem albums discography → Eminem discography – For consistency: I've found that a majority of discography pages are simply titled by artist with the word "discorgaphy" at the end. The word "albums" in the title is a bit redundant, In my (extremely) humble opinion. Dictator Black (talk) 00:07, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:52, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dictator Black and Alex 21: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:54, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Dictator Black: This is likely because the article was split in May 2018 to Eminem albums discography, Eminem singles discography and Eminem videography, as well as Eminem production discography, making Eminem discography an ambiguous title. -- /Alex/₂₁ 00:16, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose this and Eminem singles discography were split off into their own pages when the main "Eminem discography" article got ridiculously huge and rather hard to maintain. There oftentimes is indeed a page just turned "discography" when separated from artist/band pages, but when their catalog of albums and singles gets really extensive like it has for Em here, that simply isn't feasible. This current title is also used to distinguish it from his singles discography article. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 12:46, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per /Alex/₂₁ and SNUGGUMS . --Less Unless (talk) 23:37, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
