CSB’s notable work (in the table)

Why is Angels of Passion listed instead of or at least without the specific mention of Ulterior Motives? Haydenmyoung (talk) 17:27, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The table only shows his film credits, not his specific musical work. -Samoht27 (talk) 17:30, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why? That doesn't seem to be accurate Haydenmyoung (talk) 00:09, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Birth date

The birth date is off by a year. FreeBMD suggests a birth quarter of Jan-Feb-Mar 1960 for the twins, born in Halifax. 92.40.217.156 (talk) 13:09, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging Christopher Saint Booth with his brother Philip Adrian Booth to create Christopher and Philip Booth. The brothers worked most of their stuff together, including being a part of the band Sweeney Todd (Chris = Vocalist; Philip = Guitarist), composing the song Ulterior Motives, and of course directing the same movies together, such as The Possessed.

I sort of agree with this, however Christopher and Philip as individual articles still makes sense, as they're members in a duo. Maybe Christopher and Philip Booth as its own separate article without merging the two would make more sense.

I think, all told, it's a Trey Parker and Matt Stone thing where they are really famous for one thing, the both of them, but both cases are interesting. Phillip and Christopher are cult figures on the internet, so I vote keeping them seperate if (christopher only) or (philip only) is too prevalent. draft that duo article for now, and we all can make a better-informed decision from there. BarntToust (talk) 21:54, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think a duo-article is a good idea, but they're both seperate enough individuals that they warrant seperate articles. Like Legreatcharl said, this could be a third article for the both of them. XanderK09 (talk) 03:21, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I can agree on a separate article as a due and leaving the Christopher and Philip ones as separate, although I would say that having the title be "Who's Who" would be better IMO since its what they're currently going as (as well as what they went as in the 80s). I think Who's Who (band) could be good, although it currently redirects to Daniel Vangarde. I think a disambiguation page that links to both would be good if this is created. reppop^talk 01:27, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did you say Who's Who (band)? Kierandude (talk) 14:16, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i oppose

they’re still different people Kierandude (talk) 14:11, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support I was about to suggest this right now too, supporting due to the subjects being notable for the same thing. - Sebbog13 (talk) 04:56, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. They both have very similar descriptions in their works, much more akin to the Chuckle Brothers, so they should be merged. Grandtubetrains (talk) 20:39, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that these articles should be merged, not convinced they have done much notable independent of each other. Laurenschneider210 (talk) 03:28, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, why have these not been merged yet?? Why is this discussion taking so long? - Sebbog13 (talk) 09:09, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Due to popular demand, I'll merge the articles. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 05:16, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
