Talk:Republic Records

The Republic name
Discussion of how the label got its' name may be significant, considering the existence of Republic Pictures for decades prior to the label's start.

Merger proposal - Universal Republic Records -> Republic Records
Hi folks, I think we should consolidate the page at Universal Republic Records into this one, as there seems to be little on that page that isn't also on this in a more up to date form. Since Republic's existence as Universal Republic only lasted 6 years or so, I think it's justified as a section of this page, and not a standalone.

So: Universal Republic Records would be merged into Republic Records. Any opinions? UaineSean (talk) 04:06, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge - Agreed the page needs to be merged. Duplicate information. Karst (talk) 09:36, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge - Just reviving this discussion since I was doing some research on labels. This is entirely unrelated to my previous editing history and Republic is not a client of my firm (yet), but this should definitely be merged. I'm happy to learn how to do this if you guys are okay with it. This can easily be consolidated in the 'history' section. JacobMW (talk) 23:39, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge - I think after being discussed for over a year this and no dissenting opinions should be a good sign the merge should go through. It is important to make sure the time when it was Universal Republic be documented, i.e. any artists signing under Universal Republic should be noted. Ray (talk) 21:28, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge - and closed. JSFarman (talk) 02:38, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Jonas Brothers source
Instead of edit warring with IPs over whether the Jonas Brothers should be included, can some just provide one clean-cut reliable source that they are? If we can, we'll add it, and if we can't we could add an editor-only note regarding their lack of status for the time being.

Thanks, Elfabet (talk) 12:34, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * We need a reliable, secondary source for that. Would you happen to have one you could share? Otherwise, if it's not reported by a reputable, neutral secondary source, we should not include the information. Thanks, Elfabet (talk) 12:04, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Earlier label by the same name
There was another Republic Records back around 1980 - I know this from having in my record collection one of its releases (Arthur Brown's "Requiem" album)
