Default AVCD-23045: Tact Taro Best Works 2000-2005

Since when is Iwashiro primarily game/anime composer so his stuff not related to vgm/anime (like this one) should be included?

Since Joe Hisaishi precedens.
Is Hisaishi primarily anime and game composer... I don't think so and check all non anime related albums in his profile.

Hisaishi's discography (in this database) exploded a long time ago, that's true, to a point where anything by him is added. I'm not a Hisaishi fan but not a hater too... so I won't say anything more about it. (and I don't know and really not interested to find out what's Hisaishi ratio of game/anime vs. everything else)
However, Iwashiro isn't Hisaishi "big" and that means his drama/documentaries/original albums etc. have no place here.
Deactivated.

I've previously said that I don't have a problem with best albums. They're a small sample of a composer's work outside of anime/games. In that regard, best albums have information that may be useful to some users. They also don't really clutter the db since they are minuscule in number.

Now if someone started adding random Iwashiro soundtracks to the db, then I'd have a problem with it...

No individual OSTs for non-game/anime, but OK if it's compilation made only from such OSTs? What? How's that different?
Does that mean I can add Elfman's "Music for a Darkened Theatre" compilation? I don't get it.

"Can I add a works album by a composer with one soundtrack in the database?" isn't a serious question. If you're not going to reply seriously then neither am I.

There is also this compilation album which should be deleted by Iwashiro http://vgmdb.net/album/42357
