The Simpsons discography

 * Nominator(s): Theleftorium (talk) 11:10, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm nominating this for featured list status because I think it's interesting and meets the criteria! Theleftorium (talk) 11:10, 8 August 2012 (UTC)


 *  Oppose  The history section should be removed as too comprehensive and the Simpsons is a simple show. The lead should be about 4 paragraphs long and should mention briefly the recordings. For example the first paragraph mainly chronicles their life, but not the recordings. Off-topic comments can be found throughout the text. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 11:32, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The Simpsons is "a simple show"? What are you talking about? This is a good summary of all the Simpsons music releases, that doesn't go into too much detail (the details belong in the articles for the different releases). You're oppose is not based on any policies and is therefore not valid. Theleftorium (talk) 11:37, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Discographies should just summarize the most important content about the recordings. You have a lead plus a large section. For example, most of the content is rather about the recording histories of each albums. You could easily trim it down. I am striking my oppose so others can judge whether the text is not too large. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 13:32, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * But this isn't an ordinary discography. Discographies for actual artists wouldn't need history sections because that information is already in their own articles. The Simpsons doesn't have an article that talks about the history of all its music releases. But maybe this is just my opinion. If others agree with you than I'll consider shortening the article.

 * Support. And disagree with GreatOrangePumpkin's comment. Great work on the list; it should be represented as one of the best lists here at Wikipedia. TBrandley 02:24, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! And thanks you for reviewing. :) Theleftorium (talk) 10:15, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Support - Looks good. I had The Yellow Album way back when... — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:19, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Well it's a good thing someone bought it, I don't think Fox made as much as they wanted on it. ;) Theleftorium (talk) 10:24, 16 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Support looks good. I would add a sentence on The Simpsons Theme which is probably the best known song in the scope of the topic. There should also be a sentence on "The Streets of Springfield" since it does not have an article and nobody would have any what is up with it. You should try to make a topic using this as a lead article. Nergaal (talk) 00:54, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the support, but I disagree about your comments. The theme song hasn't been released as a single (other than the Green Day cover), and so it doesn't belong here. "The Streets of Springfield" never charted and hasn't received any coverage in reliable sources such as magazines, newspapers and books; if people want to find out more about it they can follow the footnote to AllMusic, but the song is way too unimportant to be mentioned in the history section (just like the compilation album).

 * Neutral =)--Kürbis (✔) 16:58, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * To be honest, that's not very helpful. What could be done to improve the list?  The Rambling Man (talk) 17:51, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
