Talk:The Pirates of Penzance discography

Why is this needed?
Why is this article needed? The G&S discography, which we cite in the main article, already covers this in much better detail than we can. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:54, 18 July 2015 (UTC)


 * That's like saying other encyclopedias exist, so why is wikipedia necessary? I personally feel discographies are valuable article content and that the article on The Pirates of Penzance is not complete without a complete discography. If the article ever went to FA, I would vote no on promoting it without a complete discography. All opera FA articles have one (at least the ones I have read).

 * Sigh. I don't imagine that I can persuade you, but that is not at all like what I said.  What I said is that this has already been done, and much better than we can do it, on a readily-accessible website, where each recording is described in detail and reviewed by an expert who gives background information about the relationships between the recordings and all other G&S recordings, and which is cross-referenced not only among the Pirates recordings, but by era, by conductor and in many other useful ways.  I don't know if this is true for any non-G&S operas, but it is true for G&S operas. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:13, 19 July 2015 (UTC)


 * One reason I like discographies on wikipedia is because they link to pages on the artists, conductors, ensembles, etc. That is a feature unique to wikipedia. Unlinked artists on discography pages can also inspire article creation. Best.4meter4 (talk) 01:01, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
