I can see approximately 25 music-related links, with the only non-music links being Cat Stevens, and currently Cat Stevens' comments about Salman Rushdie. And yet it's the non-music links that are undue weight? Andjam ( talk) 11:42, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
← I misspoke above - not sure what I was thinking of, but the template does belong on the main bio. The content of the template is indeed only about his music - its purpose is to list all of his recordings - but it is and should be included on the main bio page as well as on the individual song/record pages.

The Cat Stevens Discography article lists some additional religious-themed albums that are missing from this template. Those albums are I Have No Cannons that Roar, Bismillah, and Night of Remembrance. Is there any reason that some albums are listed here and some are not? I thought that perhaps the missing albums weren't here because they might be group efforts instead of solo pieces, but some of the ones that are listed here are group efforts. I think there should be some consistent guideline or standard as to whether or not these albums should be included. I would opt for including all of them; (if not, then none of them should be included). Macduff ( talk) 01:57, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Regarding his Islamic period before returning to pop music, he recorded a children's album, I Look I See (I think that's the title) with nasheeds, and some spoken word records, which should be, in my opinion, included in his banner. I have not listened to the material on the other records, however, all of the album and song pages need to be cleaned up and given references, badly. You know, if someone could walk me through how to put together a good album page, including good sources to look for, and formatting properly, I wouldn't mind working on some. -- leahtwosaints ( talk) 16:13, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
