I am self-nominating this article for its comprehensiveness and adherence to discography style. It is mostly based on the style of The Make-Up discography, a recently promoted Featured list I also worked on. Any comments and suggestions are welcome. Drewcifer 06:41, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- Pre-emptive comment - Unlike the many other FL discographies, statistics like Chart Performance aren't necessary or possible, since Lightning Bolt are by and large an independent band that has never come close to any album/singles charts. Thanks! Drewcifer 07:12, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Weak Opposefor now. I just can't figure out why there are Frenzy subsection, Radio and Covers sections in the discography article. Please explain why this info should be here.--Crzycheetah 21:09, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Well, the Frenzy album is kind a point of quite alot of rumors and confusion in the Lightning Bolt community. Every other forum person seems to have the definitive answer about it, so I thought it was extremely relevant to include some factual information to dispell the rumors, set things straight, and just to be as informative as possible. The Radio and covers thing I'm kind of iffy about. The Muse thing was kind of a big deal in the LB community, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's relevant to a discography. And the radio thing seems marginally important since those were broadcast/recorded performances (mainly the Robert Peel thing). But I could go either way on both of those sections. But, I included them in the first place in hopes of being a comprehensive as possible. But I would definitely say the Frenzy thing is important. There's no reason that a list can't have some text where relevant. Drewcifer 21:59, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- That's the problem I see. Radio and Covers sections are irrelevant to the discography. And The Frenzy album looks more like in violation of WP:CRYSTAL because no one knows for sure whether this album will be released. It's even possible that this album will never be released. I am not sure about it, though.--Crzycheetah 00:50, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- Like I said, I could go either way on the Radio/Covers thing. So if you think I should take them out I'd be happy to. As for the WP:CRYSTAL thing, the subsection's entire purpose isn't to predict the album's eventual release (a crystal ball), but to document it as a weird Lightning-Bolt related phenomenon. A weird Lightning Bolt discography related phenomenon to be specific. The section is well-sourced, including original source material as well as reputable 3rd party sources, so it's not like I'm making this stuff up, nor am I actually predicting anything, you know?

- I think Radio and Covers sections are irrelevant and must go. The Frenzy subsection can stay. As I said, I wasn't sure about WP:CRYSTAL, it was just my initial thought when I saw the subsection.--Crzycheetah 08:27, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Done If there's anything else let me know. Drewcifer 08:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

- Support Looks good. -- Scorpion0422 15:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support as a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternative music. However, a few WP:MOSNUM fixes are needed: for example, 4 and 7 should be four and seven. CloudNine 16:13, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
