Kevin Shields discography

 * Nominator(s): Idiotchalk (t@lk) 07:00, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because it seems to meet FLCR and is similar to other FL discographies of individual musicians. Idiotchalk (t@lk) 07:00, 3 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment. You should choose either mdash or spaced ndash and use it consistently throughout the article. Ruslik_ Zero 18:10, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * All dashes used in prose are unspaced mdashes. When you say consistently do you mean use them in references aswell? Idiotchalk (t@lk) 20:21, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes. Ruslik_ Zero 19:39, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Done. Idiotchalk (t@lk) 20:04, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Mdash should be unspaced. Ruslik_ Zero 14:06, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Right you are. Fixed. Idiotchalk (t@lk) 14:23, 23 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Support. Ruslik_ Zero 16:13, 24 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Support on prose - Looks good. As a side note, I've nominated The Complex for DYK here. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Album release dates: where are they sourced and which territory are they relevant to?
 * The earliest release dates are used and are mostly relevant to Ireland/United Kingdom. There's no source documenting all three MBV release dates together, however About.com, Stereogum and Allmusic are just some of several sources in print media/around the web confirming the dates. The Coral Sea date is sourced from Amazon. Idiotchalk (t@lk) 21:26, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * OK. Those sources should be used to verify the release dates (See MGMT discography as an example). – Underneath-it-All (talk) 00:11, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Done. Idiotchalk (t@lk) 00:27, 15 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Add a reference to the singles section.
 * Provide a direct link to the "credits" section for the Allmusic references
 * Done. Idiotchalk (t@lk)</b> 21:26, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Comment there's no need to duplicate the MBV discog at all here. Also listing only the MBV studio albums raises the question—why not list all the MBV EPs, singles and live albums as well? See how John Lennon discography doesn't have any Beatles stuff.—indopug (talk) 11:48, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Other similiar FLs—musicians who are in bands and have released solo material—list the artist's band's albums (John Frusciante discography and Josh Homme discography, for example) so I don't see why listing MBV's albums would be a problem here. Plus, seeing as Loveless and m b v were practically Shields by himself, it seems practical to list them. <b style="color:#333333;">Idiotchalk (t@lk)</b> 01:45, 2 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment – About.com (ref 18) isn't considered a reliable source for much of anything, even a release date. Can we find another, better source for this fact? Giants2008  ( Talk ) 14:18, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. Replaced reference with a Sony Music Ireland press release. <b style="color:#333333;">Idiotchalk (t@lk)</b> 16:02, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
