D.R.I. discography

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Already covered in the page Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, and it has nine out of ten unreliable sources.  ~SML  •  TP  13:42, 8 September 2018 (UTC)  ~SML  •  TP   13:42, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete First, all of the references are from an unreliable source and the content could easily be merged back (with reliable sources) to the main article. Leave no redirect. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:07, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge to Dirty Rotten Imbeciles (which should still be at D.R.I. (band) by the way as they are almost always referred to as D.R.I.). This content is not covered adequately in the band article, hasn't been in the band article for years, and has developed in parallel. It should be in the band article (there is no need to split based on size), and if we merge it there we have to leave a redirect for attribution. --Michig (talk) 09:20, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep The discography page says the band has released seven studio albums, two live albums, one compilation album and two EPs. That's good enough for a discography page entry. MetalDiablo666 (talk) 14:11, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - It needs to be strengthened with better references, but the band has enough releases to qualify for a list-style discography article, particularly within the parameters of the Discographies project. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 15:51, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 09:36, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. Whether or not we include a full discography in an artist's article or split it out to a separate article should be purely decided on considerations of article size, not how many releases an artist has had. There isn't a single good argument for outright deletion here. --Michig (talk) 11:03, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
