Single album

Should we just make this an article for the single album? Not only does the article go into detail about said album and its tracklist, but the single album is proven to be more notable for its higher chart position and significantly larger sales than the single itself - K-popguardian (talk) 02:36, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Renewing this discussion in light of Category: NCT Wish albums being nominated for deletion. Would it make sense to adjust this and Wish (NCT Wish song) to focus more on the release as a single album rather than the single itself?

As mentioned I think the single album is significantly more notable than the song itself, it would bring it in line with other NCT single albums like The Vision (single album), The First (single album), and Be There For Me, along with recent single album releases from other SM artists like Get a Guitar.

Now, just to play devil's advocate because I know the point is going to be brought up: this was first released in Japan, and then 5 days later the Korean version was released. The term "Single album" is exclusive to Korea - in Japan the release format was as a maxi single, which is essentially the same format, just a different term.

For both Wish (NCT Wish song) and this, the argument could be made that the releases are more notable as "single albums" rather than just the songs - the Korean version (the "single album") was promoted extensively and sold orders of magnitude more than the Japanese maxi singles. However, the Japanese maxi single was released first (by 5 days).

Should we defer to which versions were released first, or which versions are more notable? RachelTensions (talk) 20:00, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I still believe that the article should focus on the Japanese single, since they're a Japanese group after all. However, I'll wait for @PepeBonus and @Ss112 to give their opinion first. George13lol2 (talk) 00:34, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I prefer single more than single album as the artist is Japanese boy band, and the works have few tracks and the promoted song title and the album title are the same. PepeBonus (talk) 04:26, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@RachelTensions I absolutely think it would make sense, especially if the single album is more notable and of course, we have made several NCT single album articles to this point. Wouldn't make sense to suddenly change up the system in favor of singles that are less notable than the albums they originate from. - K-popguardian (talk) 18:41, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PepeBonus:@George13lol2: It is worth that the most notable subject within the article is the Korean release of Songbird and Wish, which came out as Korean single albums and both had higher charts and success than the Japanese versions. - K-popguardian (talk) 23:19, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
