Respective albums edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

So, since I'm reverting this once again, I'm bringing it to the talk page.

There's PLENTY of greatest hits albums that don't follow the "rule" (?) of having their respective albums added on the tracklist - with a simple search there's GHV2, a recent GA-promoted. It is not needed to add the respective albums given:

1. It's a greatest hits, thus the main point is having all of the songs reunited in one place - not give emphasis on their albums; 2. With a simple click on the songs's articles we're given a redirect to their respective releases, which shows us their original albums.

Also, on WP:ALBUMSTYLE there's literally nothing that supports this argument that is a "commonplace" to add, on Greatest Hits or Compilations albums. their respective original albums on the track listing. So, it's not needed here or The Weeknd in Japan (as I was mentioned before). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2804:14D:5C85:88C0:807E:57D6:D90F:3EB6 (talk) 04:01, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

WP:ALBUMSTYLE is not an official guideline how on to write articles, it serves more as helpful and suggestive tool. Also IT IS commonplace for compilation album articles to include studio albums in the tracklist, you can literally lookup greatest hits album pages and see this for yourself, with The Best (Ariana Grande album) and Ultimate Daryl Hall + John Oates being just two examples. - DovahDuck (talk) 15:27, 16 February 2021

In fact, The Best was also edited with the very SAME reason I gave: that is NOT needed to include every album. So, no, it's not a commonplace and it shouldn't be done here, especially with a relatively new GH album. Another example I can list is Greatest Hits: My Prerogative.

Yet the article still contains the original studio albums in the tracklist. The Britney Spears album that you mentioned also came along with new tracks so adjustments were made for that article's consistency in the tracklist. Please stop with the disruptive edits as you've been removing content without forming a general consensus. - DovahDuck (talk) 17:33, 16 February 2021

Of course it's not forming a consensus - we both have different opinions and none of them are nowhere close. If you want to, bring other users into this discussion so maybe we can form a consensus. Until there, I will keep on editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2804:14D:5C85:88C0:4FB:7C9B:739E:5AE8 (talk) 18:14, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
