Respective albums[edit]

So, since I'm reverting this once again, I'm bringing it to the talk page.

There's PLENTY of greatest hits albums that don't follow the "rule" (?) of having their respective albums added on the tracklist - with a simple search there's GHV2, a recent GA-promoted. It is not needed to add the respective albums given:

1. It's a greatest hits, thus the main point is having all of the songs reunited in one place - not give emphasis on their albums; 2. With a simple click on the songs's articles we're given a redirect to their respective releases - which shows us their original albums.

Also, on WP:ALBUMSTYLE there's literally nothing that supports this argument that is a "commonplace" to add, on Greatest Hits or Compilations albums. their respective original albums on the track listing. So, it's not needed here or The Weeknd in Japan (as I was mentioned before). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.142.187.233 (talk) 04:08, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ALBUMSTYLE is not an official guideline how on to write articles, it serves more as helpful and suggestive tool. Also IT IS commonplace for compilation album articles to include studio albums in the tracklist, you can literally lookup greatest hits album pages and see this for yourself, with The Best (Ariana Grande album) and Ultimate Daryl Hall + John Oates being just two examples. - DovahDuck (talk) 15:27, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, The Best was also edited with the very SAME reason I gave: that is NOT needed to include every album. So, no, it's not a commonplace and it shouldn't be done here, especially with a relatively new GH album. Another examples I can list is Greatest Hits: My Prerogative.

See Talk:The Highlights, you don't need to copy your responses onto here. - DovahDuck (talk) 17:35, 16 February 2021
