Foo Fighters discography
previous FLC (16:14, 8 May 2008)

Self-nom. Left it a bit late to fix some errors in intro, but I believe all issues have been addressed. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 19:49, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Support Very nice list! Great work. Drewcifer (talk) 22:45, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Comment Are so many charts needed? They really make the screen look clustered, and many charts aren't that important nor has the band charted much on them. I'd say get rid of a few. Albums: Mexico, Italy, Portugal. Singles: US adult, US dig, Can dig, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, Austria. For music directors, combine adjacent entries with same director using rowspan. Make Singles, Music videos, Other apps column width the same. Roswell isn't linked in the tables. indopug (talk) 09:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Isn't this meant to be a comprehensive discography? Surely its a bit NPOV to remove certain charts? Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Think of it this way, if you had easy online access to each and every country this band charted, you would then have about one hundred to include into this article. Would you then still consider not including some of the countries where the band did not chart significantly POV? By "comprehensive" we mean that each and every release is included, not necessarily each and every chart. indopug (talk) 19:00, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I take your point. My last comment was a bit naive. Which charts should I remove? Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I've already listed them above. Also, I think UK should be next to US because for English rock bands, US and UK are the two most important territories in terms of sales, marketing, promotion etc. Lastly, in the certifications change RIAA to US and so on (but link it to RIAA) because many people wont know the different certifiers (I myself have no clue what IRMA is). indopug (talk) 14:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay will do. I'm not sure about shifting the countries around. Again, I actually agree, it would be knuckleheaded of me to say that US/UK aren't the most important. But then surely all the charts should be listed in this kind of order, and not only English ones. This is something that needs to be discussed more centrally. If a precedent is reached through consensus and reasoned debate, I will implement the edits, but right now it has not been. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 14:52, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I wonder if Top internet albums can go too, I haven't seen it used in any other discography. And your method of citing the BPI certifications is wrong; click on the links I provided for each BPI certification reference at The Libertines discography. Like this, so the reader doesn't have to search. indopug (talk) 15:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Good find re: the BPI stuff. I'll get that done. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 16:07, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorted BPI stuff. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 22:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Note: There are an obscene number of US charts in the Singles section. I think component charts like the US Airplay cannot be included along with the Hot 100 anyway, and I think the Adult and Digital charts can go too. For one, I haven't seen them anywhere else. The Pop 100 doesn't have any really notable hits either so I wouldn't cringe to see it go either. It looks silly having seven charts just dedicated to the US. The Hot 100, Main and Mod Rock charts are what are used to mainly to track rock bands anyway. Reducing the number of American charts would leave about 12-13 charts, giving a more pleasant appearance to the whole table and also reduces the overwhelming feel it has. indopug (talk) 11:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmmm I feel this is a bit of a contradiction to what you said at the Supergrass FLC. Perhaps this needs discussing more at Wikipedia talk:CHART and MOS:DISCOG's talk pages. I'd definitely insist on the removal of US Airplay, Pop, Adult and Digital. Modern Rock and Mainstream could also go for me. Matthewedwards (talk· contribs· count· email) 07:48, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Removed charts, kept two per Indopug and RHCP and Nirvana discog Tenacious D Fan (talk) 09:40, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Support Looks great. Wonderful work. indopug (talk) 19:03, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
