Hi. I've just seen your List of album stubs. It's nice to have a list of what's desired in an album listing page, I'll get going on the albums I've done. Also, the Nirvana (band) album you listed is Incesticide, and I've done a stub for Meantime (album) (though not as Meantime), and for the two Smashing Pumpkins albums you have listed.

Hey, thanks. Great work! There isn't really any rule about what to put in articles -- whatever you think makes the article informative and neutrally places the album in a historical, musical and social context. Quotes from respectable reviewers, notes on trends in popularity and perception (i.e. why "sell-out" albums are perceived that way), a general description of how the album fits into the band's/genre's/society's development and whatever other trivia you can think of. For some examples of reasonably well-developed articles, there is a list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums (please add anything you've done to the list there) along with various suggestions, hints and tips. See also music standards for some more general rules. Tuf-Kat

Umm, is this really encyclopedia-worthy? Should Wikipedia really list every album ever made? Aren't there other sources that do that already, like CDDB?
