Jere O'Neill Surber Overdrive

There are a suspiciously large number of references to this person's solitary article on the band (which, judging by the quotations, is utter twaddle). 176.85.135.155 (talk) 00:31, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Agreed, I've taken out some of the more extensive references to O'Neill Surber's article, some of the others could also potentially be looked at. TSP (talk) 00:48, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

The band is no longer playing so they should put the end date and last line up of the band when it says to present

dumb idea I had..

So I've noticed that Pink Floyd's 'Lyrical themes' is probably the longest Lyrical themes section I've ever seen on a Misplaced Pages article, much too large to merge into the Artistry (In most articles I've seen since I started here, 'Lyrical themes' is usually either a subsection of 'Artistry' or merged with 'Musical style'). It has me wondering, that since Pink Floyd live performances is its own article, and List of awards and nominations received by Pink Floyd is its own article, maybe Lyrical themes of Pink Floyd or Artistry of Pink Floyd could be their own articles as well? Just my boring Saturday evening musings. Stay groovy! Lofi Gurl (talk) 02:29, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
