Discontinued themes
I'm wondering if there is a specific guideline regarding which themes get marked as "discontinued". It seems it's currently only being marked on digital singles once they are removed from DSPs, which makes sense as they are otherwise officially unavailable to purchase/stream, but what about older albums that never made it to digital platforms? "The Wrestling Album" and "WCW Slam Jam" are technically still available physically through second-hand means, but are no longer *officially* available for sale. Would themes from those such albums count as discontinued (barring themes like "Real American" that are available digitally on other albums)?

Re: Discontinued themes
IMO physical releases should be marked as "deleted" not "discontinued". It's the technical term for when a CD/LP/etc is no longer in production.
Which is to say you could still buy a second hand copy; but the record label is no longer manufacturing new copies.
