Proposal of interest

Members of this WikiProject and anybody who works on music-related articles might be interested in a proposal I've started. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 14:17, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nicole (German Singer)

I've spent the last few days expanding the Nicole article. I've rewritten most of it and added some tables for her discography. Any feedback would be welcome. Up until a few days ago, I've mostly only done small edits on Wikipedia. GravityIsForSuckers (talk) 18:07, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:Chalga compilation albums requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --David Tornheim (talk) 16:01, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should band navboxes have all albums and songs or just those with Wikipedia pages?

The issue has come up at Template talk:AJR.

What is the most common practice when a band isn't so famous that all of its works are presumably notable (The Beatles, etc.)? Are items that are not notable left out, or are they put in as "plain-text" items without links? Courtesy ping to ConstructorRob18. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 01:26, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The whole point of a navbox is to provide quick access to other related articles by the same artist. So it shouldn't include songs or albums that don't have their own article (not even a plain text list), because there's nothing to access. If you want a complete discography listing for the artist, this is usually done within the article for the artist if there are only a few records, or in a separate "xxxxxx discography" article if the list is longer.
