:Can (band) → {{no redirect|Can (German band)}} – Can (South Korean band). In ictu oculi (talk) 18:06, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

  • Support The German Can is without a doubt the overwhelmingly more notable band, and were we to be only looking at a primary topic among bands it would be an easy decision. However, as it is certainly not the primary for just "Can," we shouldn't use a disambiguation that doesn't actually disambiguate.--Yaksar (let's chat) 18:24, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Normally I agree with partial disambiguation, but I think it is dubious to call a group of two singers a "band". The title for the band seems fine as it is, but the other should be revisited. Nohomersryan (talk) 18:42, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

:*Excellent point, Can (South Korean band)Can (duo) would work fine, and remove any ambiguity. See WP:BANDDAB. 162 etc. (talk) 21:05, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Opening phrase

Shouldn't it be "Can was" rather than "Can were?" 47.18.39.208 (talk) 15:39, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

:Although not marked as such, the article seem to be consistently written in British English. So we have "were" and "they" etc., as British English treats a band as plural. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:04, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
