Nirvana (EP) → Nirvana (Sam Smith EP) – Our artist-less EP article titles are many of them unhelpful to readers, but this is a particularly bad one: see Google Books. Also Nirvana (Nirvana album), a hits compilation album of the US band, Nirvana (Bucky Pizzarelli album), 1995, Nirvana (Herbie Mann and the Bill Evans Trio album), 1962 and Nirvana (Charles Lloyd album), 1968.

Oppose, Nirvana (Nirvana EP), Nirvana (Bucky Pizzarelli EP), Nirvana (Herbie Mann and the Bill Evans Trio EP), Nirvana (Charles Lloyd EP), am I missing where the confusion arises? © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 06:19, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Also your Google Books link lists partial matches and false positives: [1] "In conjunction with the tour, the six-song Nirvana EP Hormoaning was" not "Nirvana EP"; [2] ". Nirvana's EP entitled "Bleach," recorded for a grand total of $600,"; [3] no mention of the band Nirvana, or an extended play; [4] "... Nirvana) [Chinese word]", decoded by Google as "( Conception of Buddhist Nirvana ) EP 7% $'J FF] Poussin Willi 7)? Eli. 941 ° 1. 4% PE 1%' fitififlt #41 $%$£fii1Efi5ZI F =PiE J", etc. As long as there is no other EP titled "Nirvana", it has no sense to further disambiguate. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 06:30, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No but there are EPs by Nirvana. In any case EPs are too easily confused with both albums and single for (EP) without artist to really be helpful in such cases. Particularly in the mp3 era. In ictu oculi (talk) 05:48, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

""

Nothing at Nirvana (disambiguation)#Albums includes the EPs by Nirvana (as they don't belong there), and Nirvana EP and Nirvana EPs go nowhere, once again, the confusion arises only in your mind. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 21:29, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support. "Nirvana (EP)" could refer to many other topics which are already covered in Wikipedia -- not necessarily as a full article, but WP:PRIMARYTOPIC refers to topics rather than standalone articles. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:37, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point which extended play is titled "Nirvana" other than this one? © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 21:58, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The "EP" category itself is becoming increasingly meaningless and arbitrary in the mp3 age... but in this case see this. It's probably time to adjust WP:NCM to treat EPs as albums for dab purposes anyway. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:03, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. An "EP" is just a short album. An album can be mistaken by consumers as an EP whether it is formally called that or not. bd2412 T 17:32, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
