:Yes, it was the 'The' business that had me visiting this article today. The remaining question is indeed, do we title the articles with or without 'the'? For redirects can always be created. I'm inclined towards de-the-ing them, but if we are to be entirely consistent, that will produce some rather odd article titles, such as [[Band]] and [[Who]]. | :Yes, it was the 'The' business that had me visiting this article today.

:Previewing that, I see that [[Band]] already links, unsurprisingly. So the Band will have to be [[the Band]], that's for sure! But I see no reason not to have the [[Who]] so titled, unless there is to be an article about the word 'who', which I doubt.

Disambiguation
There is a Robert Heinlein book, by the same name, which preceded it; it has (book). Can't remember if it's a lemma or redlink, but it's in Related Article for Heinlein. Howard C. Berkowitz 14:40, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Are you suggesting the book is more notable than the band, Howard? Meg Ireland 14:45, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Personal opinions
There are some reviewer-style opinions presented as facts in this article: see Goat's Head Soup and It's Only Rock and Roll. Ro Thorpe 17:23, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
The The
Haven't we had this discussion (argument) over and over elsewhere about whether the Kingston Trio are the Kingston Trio or The Kingston Trio? And that it was decided, including in the long http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Proposals/Naming_Conventions_for_Biographies that the "the" would NOT be capitalized. So shouldn't the article be Moved to Rolling Stones? And other changes made? I *know* that you argue for this point of view over at our Competition, Oh Noble Rheault!

- Yes, it was the 'The' business that had me visiting this article today. The remaining question is indeed, do we title the articles with or without 'the'? For redirects can always be created. I'm inclined towards de-the-ing them, but if we are to be entirely consistent, that will produce some rather odd article titles, such as Band and Who.
- Previewing that, I see that Band already links, unsurprisingly. So the Band will have to be the Band, that's for sure! But I see no reason not to have the Who so titled, unless there is to be an article about the word 'who', which I doubt. Ro Thorpe 18:01, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hmmm, wheels within wheels within wheels! Tell ya what, lemme do some New York Times searching for the various names you mention above and see how *they* deal with them. I *know* that the NYT always writes "the Kingston Trio". More later. Hayford Peirce 18:17, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
