MWS had a lot of singles released in the 80s, not for mainstream, but to the Contemporary Christian stations. Songs like "Friends" "I Know" et cetera, which were tracked by CCM Magazine. Why are they not included in the list? ---- 72.70.157.161 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:21, 4 June 2010 (UTC).
I feel like they're different from regular studio albums. Thoughts?-- Krystaleen 06:21, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
Now that it's not as crowded as it used to, I think they don't need to be separated by decades anymore. It'll be tidier as well.-- Krystaleen 10:03, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

I removed a large number of single songs from the guest appearances and collaborative albums section. When the Smith has worked on hundreds of albums, making a comprehensive table like this is difficult. Please remember, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Usually, when a list is short, we don't pay attention to lists like this. When the list starts to grow, we start deleting entries for subjects that don't have articles (removing non-notable entries). If it is still too large, we will often remove all entries that didn't chart. I started with that principle. Other editors might have started by removing entries that don't have references.

I've just completely revamped this article, fixing the tables to meet standards, fixing the sources to be comprehensive and accurate (singles were formerly united), and removing sections that are typically excluded (like writing credits, music videos, and maxi singles). I think the lede could use some touching up, though, if anyone is up to it - Smith's career is so long that it is hard to summarize in just a few paragraphs Toa Nidhiki05 03:11, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
