Notable

This subject satisfies WP:GNG and WP:BAND "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself." - (1) The Guardian, (2) The Independent (3) NME. This is noted in the opening paragraph. Further details on all three published works are included in the article, for which all three are used as references.Romomusicfan (talk) 14:54, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to The Boyfriends (British band). Switching to a more commonly accepted disambiguator. There seems to be consensus not to drop disambiguation altogether for this band, too. (closed by non-admin page mover) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 04:25, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Boyfriends (UK band) → The Boyfriends – The only page on Wikipedia with this title. Tree Critter (talk) 12:22, 22 June 2022 (UTC)— Relisting. Spekkios (talk) 22:29, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). — Amakuru (talk) 11:38, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's The Boy Friends though. 162 etc. (talk) 16:44, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Tree Critter, I'm not sure if WP:SMALLDETAILS applies here. -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:13, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I was going to suggest shortening it to The Boyfriends (band), but then I saw Boyfriends (band), which I think is a deal breaker. Dr. Vogel (talk) 15:17, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'll note here that The Boyfriends (British band) is preferable, per WP:BANDDAB. 162 etc. (talk) 03:47, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, but that means that Boyfriends (band) would need to move to Boyfriends (Philippino band). Tree Critter (talk) 08:46, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No objection to moving the other article to Boyfriends (Filipino band); but my comment was actually that "UK" is not recommended by the current naming convention. 162 etc. (talk) 16:34, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Boyfriends (Filipino band) and The Boy Friends. Leave as is. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:13, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If kept as is, then it should be The Boyfriends (British band). We use British as the adjective, not UK. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:52, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
