List of rock and roll albums[edit]
I think this is an interesting and useful list, but would be interested in any comments. I didn't feel a list of just any rock and roll albums would be very useful, so I decided to combine various critics' best-of lists to produce a sort of meta-list. Tuf-Kat 08:05, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose No images, plenty of redlinks. Also, I don't think there can be any definitive or complete list of what is a notable rock and roll album. --Sophitus 18:00, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
- I added some album covers (every album with at least six references). I think there's pretty clearly a majority of blue links (a "large majority" is certainly debateable, though it's worth noting that virtually every performer has an article, even if all the albums don't). Your last objection is not actionable; it includes every member of its defined set (the lists given) and does not miss any major component of its set (the lists are varied, and, taken together, include all the major rock albums).

- Comment By my count there are 307 red links out of a total of 1282 for a blue link percentage of 76.05%, which meets my definition of a "large majority". I'm undecided at this point on the merits of this list otherwise, although I would note that the criteria that objections must be "actionable" is rule for Featured Articles cadidates. Lists have failed before because they, by their nature, cannot be complete. Dsmdgold 15:55, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
- That seems kind of silly. I thought the whole point of featuring lists was to encourage the improvement of every Wikipedia page instead of just articles. Tuf-Kat 16:04, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose – agree with Sophitus. Have you also included groups in India, Pakistan and the many other countries that do have rock groups (in English that too)? =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:23, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
- The methods I used to create the list are explained at the top of the page. I'm sorry that there are not more critics who make lists of albums with Indian and Pakistani bands on them. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list of rock albums; it is a list that combines best-of lists from various sources. I can't help that those sources don't include any Indian rock bands -- there are at least eleven countries represented on this list, from Iceland and Mexico to Jamaica and Germany. Would moving it to rock albums that have been considered among the greatest ever please anyone? Tuf-Kat 23:19, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose. Inclusion criteria are too arbitrary and fuzzy. Jonathunder 16:56, 2005 September 3 (UTC)
