Proposed move to "Featured topics/Powderfinger discography"[edit]

I propose moving this page to "Featured topics/Powderfinger discography". This topic essentially covers the band's discography (studio albums), and it seems a bit confusing/unencyclopedic to call it "Powderfinger albums". Please note that a precedent for this move has already been set by Featured topics/Wilco discography. Grim (talk) 00:09, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure - EPs (etc.) aren't included, so it's not a full discography. Dihydrogen Monoxide 08:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not to mention singles. Many of the singles are the stubbiest of the stubs. We'll GA them all eventually, though. For now, it should remain "albums", as the precedence set by Wilco. --rm 'w a vu 10:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Wilco precedent is to use "Discography", but yeah, they don't include singles either. Dihydrogen Monoxide 11:34, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's realistic to call it "discography". Discographies can be featured topics without having every little sub article (singles and ep pages) at GA or FA class. This is their basic discography. Studio albums are the basic discography. This page should be moved to be more consistent with Wilco; which is correct by both logic and simplicity. Grim (talk) 18:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, since I went against it, I won't move it myself, but either of you feel free to do so. Dihydrogen Monoxide 10:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
