I'm curious about why both "Animation" and "Radio/Drama" were selected. This is a CD release for the radio program derived from an anime series. Unless this contains something to do with the anime itself, we'd go with the radio program's own name and category alone.

The same question apply to several other albums by the same submitter (aside of this, these entries are well-submitted).

It has to do with discussion about the animation perhaps? That's why I clicked both. While they discuss other things on radio live recording sessions the main objective that is the reason for the radio/drama in the first place is about the animation series... I thought it was obvious.

If that's not acceptable for whatever the reason it is do whatever. Accurate information I thought this website was most interested in but from What I have looked around takes a back seat at times. Plus I see favoritism on some series that get linked via Products represented while others do not. This is just a meaningless rant.

The thing with product linking is that there can be no links created if the product doesn't have a page... and regular users can't create product pages so you can't really expect that trusted editors or staff will make a product page for every single game or anime that comes by you know...

By "links", I guess he means to the lower right section of an album page where only albums sharing the same text show up. This is one of the features we sometimes lose in return for correct information (this album was isolated after somebody changed the product name to NieR Replicant).

It isn't necessarily bad for purists though. Some people hate to see non-game or non-anime category albums that happen to have the same product name appearing on album pages, and even delink them by adding a suffix like "(Movie)". While every album has its own merit and fanbase, these radio albums are often not of interest to even core anime fans (hence close to zero submitter here), and if this album gets unrelated to those of the main anime series, as a consequence of getting its correct name, not everybody would mind it.

The reason I'm editing these albums however isn't because I want to box off radio albums, but I just want to add the product I think is correct.

This might be an area where you could help us out, if you are interested. Making all the product pages for all of these anime and games and then linking them up is a pretty large task that is going to take a long time, so we can always use some additional qualified people to work on it. I think you're probably pretty close to a point where we would promote you to a level where you can do that, since you're accurate and thorough (like with the links on the artist pages.)

personally, I think some products doesn't have "page" simply because all their albums/singles is viewable through the "related albums" thing on album page

I tend to think only series that have a lot of albums should have products linkable (before creation, of course)
and so, series with few albums don't need that treatment since they can be viewed via album page
