[edit] Production credits

Any reason Phoenix's It's Never Been Like That has been deleted from this list? Grimhim 03:03, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I think I've just found the answer. The CD shows that album was produced by Phoenix. I'll delete him as a producer on the It's Never Been Like That article. Grimhim 11:48, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm going to restore the list of production credits to the article for three reasons.
  • Lists within articles are entirely permissable on Wikipedia. Please see the explanation at WP:L and WP:CLS. The Hoffer list was initially deleted with the explanation "Don't try to build a list. WP:NOT#INFO", which refers to an indiscriminate collection of information. A chronological list of Hoffer production credits is not that.
  • Pointing to the category of Albums produced by Tony Hoffer is a poor substitute for a chronological list. The list provides more information, showing a progression of albums and artists, his repeat work with artists and his rate of work.
  • The category of Albums produced by Tony Hoffer fails to include albums which he produced but have insufficient notability for articles of their own.
Please see examples of other articles containing chronological lists which work for the same reasons: Robert Altman, George Martin, Nick Launay and Mike Chapman. Grimhim (talk) 22:21, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
