The content on Discogs is user-generated, and is therefore generally unreliable. There was consensus against deprecating Discogs in a 2019 RfC, as editors noted that, although it should not be cited, external links to the site may be appropriate.
Discogs (/dɪˈskɒɡz/ di-SKOGZ; short for "discographies") is an online database and marketplace for audio recordings, including commercial releases, promotional releases, and bootleg or off-label releases. Database contents are user-generated, and described in The New York Times as "Wikipedia-like", and users can purchase vinyl records, CDs, cassette tapes, and other music formats from online sellers. Its specialty and innovation is to distinguish the specific releases of music (for example, over 400 different versions of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack).
