Linkin Park

For linkin park it says it sold 6 million copies so it should be 6x instead of 4? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Detox9 (talkcontribs) 01:40, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

It's only been certified by the RIAA as 4x; even if the 6 mill is true (I'd have to look into that), until it's actually certified as 6x by the RIAA it has to stay at 4x. TheJazzDalek (talk) 09:13, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Diamond Rexx

I think there's a bit of hoaxing going on around this band and their 'albums'. The albums that you have prodded may well be hoaxes, and much of the discography article looks made up - there was a 6-track Golden Gates EP, for instance, but no album of that name. I have merged the verifiable content of the discography into the band's article - I don't think there's anything else worth merging so if the prodded articles get deleted, I think the discography article can also go. There's a fair amount of (pay-per-view) coverage of the band in the Chicago Tribune, so I don't think the band's notability is really an issue. I can't find any reference to any singles from the band so the singles mentioned in the album articles should also be treated with suspicion.--Michig (talk) 08:07, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree with you on all points. My next step is to fix the articles on the real albums, which I see you've already started on. Cheers! TheJazzDalek (talk) 10:37, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
