Bauhaus discography

Nominator(s): JD554 (talk)

I am nominating this for featured list because I finally got around to finishing it off and I believe it meets the FL criteria. If any editors have any concerns, I will of course address them as soon as I can. JD554 (talk) 11:22, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments You should make it clearer that "Kick in the Eye" did not chart on the "main" US singles chart; someone just glancing at the page might misinterpet it that way. "US Club" should suffice. Also, I think there might have been six music videos, but I may just be misremembering (although footage from The Hunger was fashioned into a video for "Bela Lugosi's Dead"). WesleyDodds (talk) 11:43, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Fixed "Club Play" chart. I'm not sure if we should be listing videos that weren't released to promote either the single or the album the song was from. Was The Hunger video released to promote a re-release? I'm not sure, so it's probably best to leave it out unless a reliable source can be found to say it was. --JD554 (talk) 14:07, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

It's mentioned in the Bauhaus bio I own. I'll look it up. WesleyDodds (talk) 23:44, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

In addition to having "(sales thresholds)" added, as seen in this FL. As it's only received certification in the one country, that isn't necessary. Certification and sales threshold information is contained in the BPI article. --JD554 (talk) 06:50, 14 February 2009 (UTC) General comment Since there is no general reference, the Live albums, Compilation albums, Extended plays, Singles, and Video albums need verification. So for the Singles, EP's, and Comp. albums, the entries that didn't chart need to be verified in a way. The others need a straight-forward source to verify them [place the ref on the name of the album]. All the releases are their own references, to add a reference to the fact there is an album etc would seem circular. --JD554 (talk) 06:50, 14 February 2009 (UTC) Hmm. I guess.--<TRUCO> 503 19:39, 14 February 2009 (UTC) References Is Zobell a reliable source? Is it an official website of a company or some random website that lists things?--<TRUCO> 503 22:10, 13 February 2009 (UTC) Zobell has been used in other discographies and it states its sources here. --JD554 (talk) 06:50, 14 February 2009 (UTC) Looks fine by me.--<TRUCO> 503 19:39, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
