This is a list of official releases by American grunge band Nirvana. I've been working on it for a while now and believe that it meets all of the criteria required to be a featured list. --Brandt Luke Zorn 10:05, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Comment You might want to note the differences between the two "In Bloom" videos: one being an unreleased (at least from what I understand) Sub Pop promo and the other being the video for the song when it was released as the fourth single off of Nevermind. WesleyDodds 10:23, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I added "(Sub Pop version)" to the name of the first "In Bloom" video - if you think more needs to be done, let me know. --Brandt Luke Zorn 10:48, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

This should prove useful for citing certifications, so you don't have to keep directing people to the RIAA's searchable database link for some albums. WesleyDodds 11:19, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, used the link. --Brandt Luke Zorn 11:32, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I think the tiny details are largely settled. Include inline cites for the sales and chart positions such as the other featured discographies do and I'll feel comfortable supporting the article. WesleyDodds 10:36, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I moved the sales references to inline citations, but I'm not really sure about moving the chart positions references because doing so would hugely widen some of the chart position columns - 8 citations would have to fit. Alternatively, I could put one reference in each row, or leave it as it is. --Brandt Luke Zorn 11:06, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

-comparing to Wilco discography- Is it all that necessary to list the album producers? That might save some space. WesleyDodds 11:14, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I moved the references to inline citations for all albums and singles. --Brandt Luke Zorn 11:45, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Aside from some redundant cites (why are there so many citations for the Australian album charts when only one chart placing is listed?) I feel confident voting support as a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternative music and as someone critically familiar with Nirvana's discography. WesleyDodds 08:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose, contains information available only via color. Circeus 16:18, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

• Removed shaded table sections. --Brandt Luke Zorn 19:01, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • random digging brought a few issues. Molly's Lips was re-released as a Promo single in Brazil, for example, which sounds to me as if it should be listed somewhere. Also, there is no apparent reason the split singles can't have chart listings.Circeus 20:33, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I concur, athough "Oh, the Guilt" was the only one that actually charted (it was a rather big hit in the UK). WesleyDodds 21:31, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Both of these have been done. Anything else? --Brandt Luke Zorn 21:54, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

This is significantly more complex than the other discographies I have checked, and I would not feel secure in supporting it, since I easily found oversights, but do not believe I can really afford to go through all the articles to double-check it. Circeus 22:52, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

You might want to note that "Silver" was originally released as a single on Sub Pop, but it charted in 1993 due to the release of Incesticide. For example, in the B-sides section, you might want to note which songs were the B-sides to the later Geffen release of the single (although I'm not entirely sure if there were B-sides to a Geffen single, since I recall that Come As You Are said Geffen was going to release "Sliver" as a single to promote Incesticide, but decided against it. Nevertheless it charted in 1993, so we should clear that up.) WesleyDodds 00:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm not certain that Geffen ever released "Sliver" as a single, but I did note that the single charted upon the release of Incesticide. As far as I can tell, the two extra live b-sides were put on a CD single, which was already noted. --Brandt Luke Zorn 03:19, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

• Neutral Looks good, but I'd feel more secure if more people familiar with the topic could review. Circeus 22:52, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
• Comment, is it possible to put the refs for the chart positions next to the number they're for? It stretches the page in a bad way if they're all placed next to "AUS" or "SUI". Axem Titanium 00:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
