The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Sigurjón's Friends → Sjonni's Friends –
The artist (although real name was Sigurjón used to perform under the mononym Sjonni, not Sigurjón. Thus the tribute band was called Vinir Sjonna see [1]. Thus the English Wikipedia name for the formation should be Sjonni's Friends. Sigurjón's Friends can be left as a redirect to Sjonni's Friends werldwayd (talk) 09:01, 26 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
Support This is the name that the band appeared under in the Eurovision Song Contest, and also the name their album appeared under (at least outside Iceland), and so is the common name in English. Outside of this context, the band are probably unknown (if they existed at all outside this context). Skinsmoke (talk) 04:42, 29 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
