I suggest to split this article up into separate articles for each album, as is common per WP:ALBUM. Spearhead 22:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would not object per se to splitting, but I wouldn't do it myself, since I do not see the need. The current article seems appropriate to me, given the notability of the artist and the scope for expansion on any hypothetical album articles. WP:ALBUM doesn't give us any specific guidelines (as far as I could see), and there are various other bands whose albums are collated into one article for ease.

I agree that this article is sufficient, if not preferred, since there seems to be so little info on the albums. If more info becomes available or is written, change the section to read see main article [album title] and remove the specific info to a new page.

What concerns me more is the categorization. The other day, I switch the category from Category:Albums by artist to Category:Nuclear Death albums. There were two reasons for that. The first is that the band's album category is for articles about albums by that band. Even though this is a discography article, and not an article about a specific album, it is an article about the band's albums. As I stated, that is exactly what Category:Nuclear Death albums is for. The second reason is that Category:Albums by artist is only for categories. It states on the top of the page that no articles are to be included. In addition, discographies are commonly included in Category:band albums, and those categories commonly have only one article. I'm changing the categories back. If you have any issues with this, please ask me. -Freekee 17:37, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Categories are navigation aids, and nothing more. This article should be in neither Category:Albums by artist nor Category:Nuclear Death albums. If there is a Nuclear Death category this article can be placed there, but categorisation does not happen for the sake of it. I am changing it back. Jdcooper 17:44, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
