Talk:Dallas Green (musician)

Page rename

How can I change the name of this page to City and Colour? I did try moving the page but it wouldn't allow me to do so. --Seraphim Whipp 02:06, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Blanking and redirecting page

The reason this page was created in the first place, is because it disucsses the band, City and Colour. The Dallas Green page is about Dallas Green, not about his band. Alexisonfire have their own page, I don't see why City and Colour shouldn't. Also I don't think there's any reason to be rude in edit summaries either. --Seraphim Whipp 21:48, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

It is redundant to have the Dallas Green and City and Colour articles separate. City and Colour is Dallas Green, and the Dallas Green page is all about his music. For example, artists like Billy Corgan, or Tom Petty don't have articles solely for their solo projects, again because its redundant. If you are so concerned on having separate pages, than you can take the proper channels of doing so; having a vote on the Dallas Green page as opposed to cowboying up and deciding whatever you want goes.

See Dashboard_Confessional#History:

"What rulebook says it has to be called your name if you're one guy?"- Chris Carrabba

Dallas Green's band may be a one man project but Dallas Green is a person, not a band. City and Colour is a band and not a person.

I made the decision to be bold and create a new page. No one else has objected on this talk page or Talk:Dallas Green (musician) except you. You are the one that has decided that you have an authority, by removing the efforts of 4 editors, completely without discussion beforehand. The City and Colour and Dallas Green pages need to grow in their own right, concerning their separate subjects. I think you should give it some time, for other editors to add to the articles. Wikipedia is not a paper enclypedia, see Wiki is not paper.

Wikipedia is about information, right? It's about working together too, right? So let's make these articles bigger and better together! :-)

Oh god.. that sounds great and everything, like I'm undoing your hard work and I'm mean.. all you did was copy and paste some shit to make the intro, copy and paste a few lines out of the infobox i made, copy and pasted the pretty discography chart i made, and used unproperly sourced images; all within an article with less information about the subject than the original..

So for the last time, see Wikipedia:Requested moves if you want to take the proper means of moving a page, you can't just decide "hey I feel like moving this page today"

with respect,

Third opinion. This is in response to a request for a third opinion. Making a new page is not the same thing as moving a page, so WP:RM is irrelevant. Additionally, after freely releasing the infobox and chart under the GFDL, you cannot control if it ends up on another Wikipedia page. This seems like a case of WP:OWNership.

If you want to delete this page and make it into a redirect, you need to go through the articles for deletion process. Just doing it yourself will not be sustained. Grouse 01:09, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

?? The point isn't that I care about who puts what I made where.. the point is that its useless to make a separate page with the same recycled info as the original, except with less actual information that the original and with improperly sources images.. jerkmonkee 04:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

There are still people out there who don't know that City and Colour is Dallas Green. So having "a separate page with the same recycled info as the original" is well justified. Lets say someone hears a song by CITY AND COLOUR on TV and tries to search "City and Colour" on wikipedia. The page redirects to Dallas Green. It's kind of stupid isn't it, seeing that City and Coulour is a bige enough project/band, to not have a separate page? ZombyPiggie

Former members?

How can this have any former members? It's mainly just Dallas and Nick. I've only heard of other people backing him at a few live shows, but they're not necessarily part of the project... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.5.200.68 (talk) 18:26, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Band name section

Why is the quote about how long Dallas Green has been writing material located under the band name section? I agree that it belongs on the article, but it has nothing to do with the name of the band. Youre dreaming eh? (talk) 00:13, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Why is there still a trivia Section?

maybe it is just me, but aren't trivia sections discouraged on Wikipedia? and it seems like the info there is unnecessary... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theriusthechronicler (talk • contribs) 20:14, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Live At The Verge

I just found a single that Dallas has created named 'Live At The Verge'. It only contains 2 tracks but I am sure it should be mentioned. More info on the single is here. http://social.zune.net/album/City-and-Colour/Live-At-The-Verge-(2-Track-Single)/61f62402-0100-11db-89ca-0019b92a3933/details Mackenziepricee (talk) 03:03, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Merge with Dallas Green

I think this page should be merged with Dallas Green, as City and Colour is Dallas Green. --101.161.29.112 (talk) 07:35, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

No City and Colour isn't Dallas Green. Dallas has an article because he individually is notable, while City and Colour is a distinct project. City and Colour has also become a four piece band including Dallas' brother if you read the album notes notes of Little Hell. Jonjonjohny (talk) 09:05, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

This article currently states in the lede's first sentence that the article is about a recording alias belonging to Dallas Green . It also states the only band member in the associated project is Dallas Green himself. The member list after him is separate and designated "other back up". In its current state a merge is entirely appropriate. - Steve3849^talk 22:32, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

2009 Canadian Fall Tour

City and Colour first played Silver and Gold, O'Sister, Murderer and Grinnin' In Your Face on their Canadian Fall Tour in 2009, not their 2010 Europe Tour. I was there, and there are videos on YouTube to prove this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.173.56.103 (talk) 05:26, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
