Slayer discography
Self nomination I am nominating this list for FLC because I have been worning on it in the last couple of days and it meets all criteria. I don't care for the band's music very much but they are certainly interesting. I retrieved sources for chart positions from 12 different coutries. All comments are welcome. &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 00:13, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Support Looking good! Drewcifer (talk) 19:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Slayer's singles didn't chart anywhere. Maybe you can put that somewhere above the table? Looking at the article the way it is now, I suspected the information was simply missing.--EdgeNavidad (talk) 15:38, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I suppose I could do that.
 * Does the tribute album really need a separate category? According to the Undisputed Attitude article, there are also three original songs on it, so in my opinion it fits in the Studio Album category.
 * It is still a cover album, so no.
 * A cover album recorded in a Studio, so yes. Please give more arguments than this... --EdgeNavidad (talk) 08:56, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I think Studio album implies the major release by the band; into which a lot of marketing etc is put into. Another consideration is that the itself probably doesn't consider this album as a major release; hence its under tribute album. indopug (talk) 19:14, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Why are the b-sides listed seperately? Don't they fit nicely as a column in the singles list?
 * Nope.
 * You know, this has always bothered me too with other discographes. Why all the emphasis on B-sides?  It's basically stating the track-listing of the single.  We tend to discourage putting an entire album's track listing on a discog, so why do the same for a single but in a different table? I guess the notes are somewhat interesting, ie "B-Side X was re-released on Album Y", but I'm not really sure if that's all that informative. Drewcifer (talk) 04:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I like the way it's done on U2 discography. Also on The Beatles discography, the B-sides are next to the singles. The Rolling Stones discography also does this. On the Metallica discography, b-sides are not mentioned, and (in another genre) Britney Spears discography also does not list b-sides. The Offspring discography does give a list named "B-sides", but it looks like the person that made that list does not know what a b-side is, as only 2 of the 5 songs are b-sides, and a lot of real b-sides are not on that list.
 * The first featured discographies (in alphabetical order):
 * Don't list B-sides: 50 Cent discography, Aesop Rock discography, The Corrs discography, Godsmack discography, Gwen Stefani discography, Hilary Duff discography
 * List B-sides separately: Alice in Chains discography, Billie Piper discography, The Breeders discography, Dave Gahan discography, Deftones discography, Feeder discography, Depeche Mode discography, Goldfrapp discography, James Blunt discography
 * Some do it, some don't. In the second category, some mention all songs on a b-side, some mention only b-sides that were not on any album. Personally, I would choose between A. putting the b-sides next to the corresponding a-sides in the single table, or B. remove the b-sides table and add a "miscelaneous" table where you put the b-sides that were not on any album (together with other "rare" songs). It's time for some wikipedia standards! --EdgeNavidad (talk) 08:56, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree. Take a look at The Make-Up discography.  This is how I approached the problem, and I (obviously) like it. Drewcifer (talk) 19:15, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * So what am I doing? &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 21:09, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks like the two options Edge and I seem to agree on are to either incorporate it into the singles table or remove it completely. Drewcifer (talk) 21:14, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm going to remove it. There aren't any notable or important songs anyway. &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 21:16, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

 * OMG-No-B-Sides-Support - some minor things; in the lead, fix things like "and Hell Awaits(1985)" (needs space). Also, the singles haven't charted anywhere? dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 05:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Somebody fixed that. Nope, no charted singles. They are the biggest underground band in the world. If that makes sense. Thanks to everyone who participated. &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 18:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment There are four supports without a comment in three days, eight days in. &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 20:24, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ten days and four supports. &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 20:34, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
