Talk:David Bowie discography

message: I'm proposing we remove the list of re-releases from the page, that infomation is better suited to the album's page and rather than to make an already lenghty page longer it would be better gone. I thought I'd open it up for discussion, I am currently trying to make the page more in-line with other discography pages and tidy it up in general, becuase as is the page is kind of an eye sore.

message: I don't see the point in losting the b-sides to the singles especially when the majority of the a-sides have their own page, it gives the illusion most these early singles where double a-sides (or at least it did for me). I proporse they are removed but once agian wanted to see if anyone is opposed, also their seems to be a lot of notes on the page. I haven't had the time to check them all out but I assume some of could be trimmed down it seems excessive. OBLIVIUS (talk) 12:39, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  B-sides in single section and notes 

message: The intro and the stats box on this article say that there were 27 studio albums by David Bowie, but only 25 are listed on the Studio albums table.  Presumably the discrepancy is down to the omission of the two Tin Machine albums.  However  I think this contradiction should be sorted out, one way or the other.  Either correct the number of albums to 25 or include the Tin Machine albums in the studio album table.  (Perhaps someone has blanked them off without discussing it on this talkpage in the past? ) Romomusicfan (talk) 08:30, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

message: I'm thinking about the size of this page in its current state and believe the best course of action would be to move the music video section into David Bowie filmography or a new videography page. The reason I bring this up is that Bowie's music videos were just as innovative as his music. I mean, "Ashes to Ashes" alone was the most expensive video ever made at the time. Currently, music videos aren't mentioned at all in the lead section, which I think does a bit of a disservice. On top of that, are music videos really considered a part of someone's discography? Imo that makes no sense. I'd love to know what others think, as once I start making additional improvements to sourcing and whatnot in the near future I see the page increasing to about 200k bytes. There doesn't appear to warrant enough info for separate albums and singles pages like other artists have so I believe moving music videos would be the best course of action. – zmbro (talk) 17:20, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

message: The Buddha of Suburbia is not a studioalbum, neither a soundtrack contribution. I thought everyone should know that. It's a soundtrack contribution, since the show only took one track out of the album. Also where is Toy? This should've been in the list since November 2021.
:See my response here. Also Toy is listed, under posthumous albums (where it belongs). – zmbro (talk) (cont) 17:29, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  David Bowie studioalbum listing 

message: I was wondering where to list Bowie's version of "All the Young Dudes". It was certified silver in 2022. While I'm at it, I notice there is also no mention of "Ziggy Stardust" nor of "Moonage Daydream" (which also certified). --Muhandes (talk) 19:09, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
