Talk:Balls to the Wall (album)

Herman Frank, jr.
Herman Frank is listed as junior on this album's and "Restless and Wild"'s credits in their respective Wikipedia articles. On one of my editions of "Restless and Wild", he is indeed listed as Hermann Frank, jr. Notice that his first name is spelled with two N's, as it also is on the "Balls to the Wall" editions I have in my collection. On his own website,, however, his name is consistently spelled with just one N, and there's no "jr."

I suggest that his name is typed simply Herman Frank on Wikipedia. I shall wait for a while in case someone objects, then I'll make the alteration in a few weeks. I'll try to write a short article about him too, and gather information about all his different work as a musician.--Odd M. Nilsen 14:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I've changed the name and written an article on him.--Odd M. Nilsen 09:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

– The album received more accolades than the song or the film. Jax 0677 (talk) 02:31, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Balls to the Wall (album) → Balls to the Wall
 * Balls to the Wall → Balls to the Wall (disambiguation)
 * Comment: there's already a disambiguation page at Balls to the wall, so Balls to the Wall should be redirected there. 2A00:23EE:2610:548B:A:56FF:FECD:3D2D (talk) 03:11, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Oppose this is exactly the situation dab pages are made for - an obscure 1983 German album, and equally obscure 2011 American film. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:07, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose – no PT. The album does get the most views, but it's only at about 55% of the views, while the song gets 32% and the film gets 12%. The idiom is probably also of note, and the DAB page can provide a wiktionary link. I would support merging Balls to the Wall with Balls to the wall, though – they have practically the same entries.
