Death Cab for Cutie discography
A complete discography for the alternative rock band that hit it big in 2005. Let me know what you guys think. Self-nomination. Teemu08 (talk) 03:25, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Support This looks pretty good. Gary King ( talk ) 04:43, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments-this looks good, however, it does not contain references to reliable sources, such as the release dates of albums, the comments in the "Virtual albums" and "Demos" columns, as well as the other appearances section.-- S R X -- Latino Heat  21:21, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Individual release dates need referencing? Why? indopug (talk) 15:38, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll add references to the comments in those two sections when I find a minute. However, I'm not going to add references to the dates, since they're indisputable (and that goes for all featured content, not just lists). Teemu08 (talk) 16:43, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Support Very solid work. And while I've still got the chance, a few responses to (now hidden) responses: the small font thing was just a suggestion. I like it since it seperates it cleanly from the label name and because it's not really all that important, but that's just me. As for the forcing the bolded title thing, please see this archived discussion. It's still not a set-in-stone rule, but I believe there's an increasing consensus 'round these parts to not force the straight repetition in the lead. So I still recommend changing it, but that's not enough to keep me from supporting an excellent list. Drewcifer (talk) 06:42, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Opening sentence of "This is a comprehensive discography of Death Cab for Cutie," is yuck. Comprehensive is implied because it's featured (or could become featured). Also it's a straight repetition of the article title. Something more engaging needs to be written, such as "The discography of Death Cab for Cutie consists of six studio albums, four extended plays (EPs), a demo tape, a digital album, fourteen singles, eight music videos, and two DVDs. Death Cab for Cutie are an American indie pop group from Bellingham, Washington and was formed in 1997 by Ben Gibbar..."
 * Studio albums should be studio albums. In other words, studio albums not studio albums
 * Have you got catalog numbers for the last 2 albums?
 * "Studio albums" fixed and prose livened up. As for the catelog numbers, I haven't been able to find any online. Ofsten, major labels forgo using catalog numbers, instead just filing them under their serial number. If I ever do find catalog numbers, I will add them. Teemu08 (talk) 20:05, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * OK. I added my suggestion for the introduction, as there was nothing which said how many albums/singles etc were released. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 15:40, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
