Template talk:Nirvana (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grunge music, Courtney Love, Heavier Than Heaven, Kurt & Courtney, and Tom Grant don't belong in the Discography section. A separate section (maybe "Related topics") would probably be best for these. -- LGagnon

[edit] "Popular songs"

The term "popular" is subjective (that is POV). Anyone can claim that a song is popular because they liked it, and that seems to be what happened here. I'm switching it to "Singles" as that would fit the NPOV policy much better. -- LGagnon July 3, 2005 00:56 (UTC)

I re-arranged the singles in chronological order, they seemed to be random before --Surachit 01:13, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Standard style

I've changed this template to mirror the visual style of {{Dream Theater}}, {{Rush}}, {{IronMaiden}}, etc. I'm trying to change all navigational templates like these to a single uniform style, so if you see any more please let me know. plattopus^talk 05:43, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Is this template too big?

This template seems unecessarily large. Articles such as Singles, although admittedly in-depth, should nonetheless be listed in a separate Discography article rather than filling up too much space on a template. For many of the articles linked on the template (Heavier Than Heaven, for example), the template is bigger than the article itself, making things look a bit lop-sided. Would anyone object to a downsizing? Thenugga 00:21, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I'll go revising the organization as I did to other band templates recently (Dave Matthews Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin). Circeus 14:20, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

I can't be stuffed logging into wikipedia to comment this but, why the hell was Fecal Matter deleted!? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:210.50.72.133 (talk • contribs) 05:41, July 10, 2006.

A big band is worthy of a big template, thats what I say. There are many templates contructed the same way anyway. The Smashing Pumpkins, The Beatles, etc. I don't see a problem with it, it's just extra informative. I have also reverted the template so that it includes Fecal Matter. --Reaper X 01:51, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] All Apologies & Rape Me

Call me petty for bringing this up, but I think we need consensus on this. All Apologies and Rape Me are together as a single. So should they be listed as either:

1. "All Apologies" | "Rape Me" with a pipe.
2. "All Apologies"/"Rape Me" with a slash.

Thoughts please, an edit war over this would be freakin stupid. -- Reaper X 20:15, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Producer of "Nevermind"

It seems like the paragraph about Wallace's work on Nevermind might be simply a plug for him. Does anyone agree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.191.228.105 (talk • contribs)

This is probably better placed at Talk:Nirvana. This discussion page is for the Nirvana band template. plattopus^talk 05:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] band members

Kurt cobain should be written as Kurt Cobain (1967-1994) in the band members template so readers notice he has passed away —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 61.246.27.219 (talk) 08:28, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] 1991 Year Punk Broke?

while 1991: The Year Punk Broke is considered primarily a Sonic Youth release, Nirvana is featured quite prominently with 5 songs included, should it be added to the video release section of the template? --Pantophobia 22:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Not appropriate to include in the videography, but I did add it in the Related articles section. (I thought I had seen it there before...)By the way, I also inserted a break before foo fighters because theres alot of relating articles, and it's startiong to overflow. -- Reaper X 02:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Outcesticide

Between EPs and Compilations is currently listed "Outcesticide". It is not an official compilation so I think it should be removed or flagged as "unofficial". But if you leave it into the template, I think you should add every other compilations everly appeared... finally I think the best solution is to remove it. What do you think about this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.37.96.186 (talk) 16:32, 11 April 2007 (UTC).

EDIT: No answers; I finally deleted it.

[edit] Pat Smear

How did people come to this consensus that Smear isn't an official member?? He was asked to join the band, toured with and recorded with the band... Please, define official member. --Endless Dan 13:48, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
