Talk:Hall & Oates

Once again Name move
I find it somewhat "silly" that the name of this article has not been changed to Daryl Hall and John Oates. The two primaries of the band both say the official name is Daryl Hall and John Oates. They have also pointed out that the name on all their albums is Daryl Hall and John Oates. Despite the URL of their official being hallandoates the very first page of the site is Daryl Hall John Oates. Their official merchandise is overwhelmingly inscribed with the name Daryl Hall and John Oates.

It just does not make sense that wikipedia refuses to use the official name over a nickname.

I know a title move was recently requested and it was denied. But, I feel the denial was incorrect. Another request should be made. Rick Henry Christopher (talk) 22:47, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Lawsuit
Was going to edit the Lawsuit title text when somebody sniped me and it looks good. It is HALL'S lawsuit against OATES. Thanks to whoever fixed it just before I refreshed the page. CentralPAGuy (talk) 05:24, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Lawsuit & Restraining Order = Breakup?
A couple anonymous users have already edited the page to imply that the duo have dissolved in light of the legal dispute between them and the restraining order against Oates. I reverted the first change since there was no official announcement of a dissolution (and it's not like one of them died), but after it was reinstated by the second anonymous edit, I thought it'd be worth bringing up here.

 * John Oates has said that he has "moved on" from being part of the duo, while Daryl Hall has stated that they are undergoing a "global divorce" of their creative partnership. So it looks as if Hall & Oates is effectively over... but there hasn't been a definitive announcement of a split as yet. Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 17:28, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
