I removed the reference to B5 being the youngest artist ever signed to Bad Boy Records because Dream was quite young when they were signed also, nonnon e of the members being more than 14 at the time, and I couldn't find exactly when B5 was signed by Bad Boy. I also removed the reference to the Chicago concert because it said that it may help them "get their own concert", which I didn't understand because that is their own concert. --Metropolitan90 16:50, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Singles

Why do people keep adding "featuring Kelly Breeding" to Handle It? He's already in the group! How is the song featuring him if he's already in the group? That's redundant! Anthony Rupert 02:45, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

B5's Dance 4 You was by far their biggest hit to chart in the US pop, hip hop, and r&b charts, but it's not mentioned in the B5 article.

Stop linking to Caucasian disambiguation page

To the person (or persons) who keeps linking to Caucasian, it is a disambiguation page. It is also an inaccurate, out of date and USA-centric term for white people. The true meaning of the word Caucasian is Caucasian peoples, who are from the Caucasus region. Spylab 23:40, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added this tag to the unreleased singles section because not only is it unsourced, but it contradicts itself; I mean, if the songs are unreleased, then how are they singles? Anthony Rupert 05:49, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

b5 ages!

if you people really wanna kno there ages calculate it
dustin 1987 - 2007 = 20
kelly 1989+1-2008 = 18 turnin 19 in 1month
patrick 1990 - 2007 = 17
carnell 1991 - 2007 = 16
bryan 1994 - 2007 = 14
bryan aint no 14 he's 13 and was born in 1994!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.55.242 (talk) 03:47, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

There is a template called {{birth date and age}} which can automatically calculate a person's age if their birthdate is given. For example, suppose someone was borh January 14, 2000. Inserting {{birth date and age|2000|1|14}} into the article produces the result of (2000-01-14) January 14, 2000 (age 24). So this way the group members' ages can be included in the article without requiring anyone to update the article every time they have a birthday. --Metropolitan90 (Date intentionally omitted from signature this time.)
- Maybe there are some editors who prefer to update the band members' ages by hand rather than have it done automatically. I don't know. --Metropolitan90 03:20, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Birth Controversy

There has been a little controversy about Bryan's date of birth. It is October 14, 1994 (according to numerous fan sites) which makes him currently 14. ≈Alessandro ♫^{T • C} 05:13, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, in an interview a few months back, he said that he was 13 going on 14 and his birthday came in October, meaning that he is currently 14. But this doesn't really matter here because there ages aren't on the page. 71.180.47.98 (talk) 22:43, 27 November 2007 (UTC) Bold text bryan is now 18 if you go to facebook and look up there new name audio werxz then listen to there interview the are going to say what year it is and how old they are.[reply]

People's foolishness.

I think this article needs to be locked. People keep adding crap that is not even true. It's not funny anymore to be honest. If you are not going to contribute useful information, then don't bother posting complete and utter crap. Kryptonz (talk) 19:06, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Read the Discussion Page Before Editing

As you can see, people keep going back onto the page and adding in their ages. STOP IT! It's already been discussed that the ages of the boys are unnecessary, so DON'T put it back in the article. Also, I am taking the ages out of the lineup section. Thank you. 71.180.47.98 (talk) 01:22, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Took the ages out of the lineup again. ≈Alessandro ♫^{T • C} 06:12, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

who ever wrote this i just dont know why you are talking all this junk and saying people are follish.but just dont talk CRAP about it just deal with it its not a big deal if they didnt want people adding there ages they would of said it so just stop it.Dang!there cute i love them,but its just there ages, just add and figure out there age your self and then put it on here. ok know thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.203.142.133 (talk) 15:36, 18 June 2008 (UTC) well if people keep on adding things that are not true just dont add it at all.please and thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.203.142.133 (talk) 15:42, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ages

Don't put them back in the article! Their ages are useless. Leave them out. I think it should be a requirement that before a non-member edits a page, they have to read the discusson page because this isn't making any sense. And that's not just for this article, I think it should be for all articles. 71.180.13.254 (talk) 14:42, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just had to take the ages off again. This is getting really irritating. ≈Alessandro ♫^{T • C} 01:15, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

oh my god yal doing all this the REAL age has been revealed by me bryan is now 13 in 2008, but on october 14 he will be 14 duhh!!!! why are you arguing..if u dont know how to calculate then dont say anything at all he was born in 94..yal dont even know him and yal arguin god??? today on march 9 2008 he is 13 but in 6 or 7 months he will turn 14.... please...when u come on a site and try to put somebody on blast, maybe you should sound educated while doing..

buh byez now —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.147.231.218 (talk) 17:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody is arguing. We have decided to leave the ages out all together to stop the conflict, but people that don't read the discussion page keep putting them back in. 96.252.167.225 (talk) 14:56, 4 April 2008 (UTC)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Alessgrimal the person who wrote the commet about people are foolish shes write just,we already now how old they are.So bye[reply]

B5 leaves Bad Boy

I can't seem to find a reliable source explaining when and why B5 left Bad Boy Records besides their MySpace blog (which is blacklisted here on Wikipedia). Any help would be appreciated. DiverseMentality^{(Discuss it)} 04:07, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Update:

This group no longer go by B5, they go by AUDIO now. Their ages are also fabricated, they're actually a few years older than what they're claimed to be; Diddy made them shave a few years off their age. Carnell is actually their cousin, not their brother. When I find the right reliable sources, I will update this page. Thanks. Georgia Peachez (talk) 15:40, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They are now known as B5 again according to their twitter and website. I have edited the final paragraph to reflect this but I was unsure if you could directly source information from twitter or not and I was unsure of the correct attribution so if someone knows could they fix this. Mebored81 (talk) 15:59, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Moot now, but obviously the birth dates don't work for brothers: Dustin Michael (b. October 8, 1987), Kelly Allen (b. February 27, 1988) - 5 months would make him awfully premature!! I am going with the Famous Birthdays ages which (fabricated or not) are consistent. 2600:8807:480A:1900:D87B:B75D:89C2:66EF (talk) 20:34, 29 September 2017 (UTC) Dfoofnik not logged in[reply]
