Björk b-sides[edit]

Non-notable B-sides. All information is forked from respective singles. Fancruft. Please see the AfDs for Garbage B-sides| and List of Coldplay's b-sides. Any useful information about songs which have not been released on Björk singles or albums can be merged into Björk discography. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:36, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Björk discography --T-rex 00:17, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or complete merge as this is not an unreasonable level of detail for as highly notable an artist as Björk (the discography article is not approaching size limits).Skomorokh 13:57, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

B-side lists in discographies are discouraged. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 14:09, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Discographies/style, and no featured discographies have B-sides. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 14:54, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link, but a proposed guideline written by one editor carries absolutely no weight, and omission does not imply proscription. You will have to do a little better than that to convince me, I'm afraid. Regards, Skomorokh 15:25, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your right, it is a proposed guideline, but there is significant consensus behind it. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:35, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If that is the case, it shouldn't be long before it becomes an established guideline and discographies and songographies (for want of a better term) are decisively separated, but it would be premature to act before then, as there is no deadline. It seems like AfD's like this could benefit from being postponed while concrete guidelines are hashed out. Until then, there is no compelling arguments to delete such lists as this. Regards, Skomorokh 15:40, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge. Unlike the remixes, this really is useful. Although still better in discography article. The singles table there has easily enough space for a b-side column. A list helping readers to track down these songs is a good addition to wikipedia.Yobmod (talk) 09:47, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Comment Why is this re-listed? All 4 comments say merge. Sounds like consensus to me. Certainly is not going to get to consensus delete with an un-biased closer.
