Timeline[edit]

I asked the editor who added the timeline to look into it because it is malformed but the editor doesn’t have many recent edits so I hope someone else can take a look and fix it.--S Philbrick (Talk) 17:39, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What's going on with Robin Goodridge?[edit]

I don't see anything having been announced that he's leaving Bush, even though he allegedly was not the drummer in the video for "Bullet Holes". And certainly nothing about Gil Sharone having replaced him. In fact, the lead and article body look untouched, and the infobox and members section are only what's different. What the hell is going on?? dannymusiceditor ^oops 02:46, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've undone the edit that made it such a way, by the way. dannymusiceditor ^oops 02:47, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bush (British band) → Bush (band) – We have both Bush (British band) and Bush (Canadian band) articles on Wikipedia, which means that normally Bush (band) should redirect to Bush (disambiguation). However, Bush (band) is a primary redirect to this page, and has been since 2016. That's kind of sitting on the WP:PDAB fence, so I propose that we move the article to the PDAB title, much like we have with Oasis (band), Nirvana (band), Kiss (band), etc... Alternately, if consensus finds that a PDAB exception isn't warranted, then the redirect should be retargeted to the dabpage. 162 etc. (talk) 20:14, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Bush (British band) → Bush (band) since Bush (band) is indeed incomplete disambiguation. Agree, however, that Bush (band) should redirect to the Bush disambiguation page and not to Bush (British band). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:24, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support since the WP:INCDAB bar of the threshold for identifying a primary topic for such titles is higher than for a title without parenthetical disambiguation is satisfied. Pageviews for the British band beat the Canadian by 75:1 ratio (2700:36 @90 days). The Canadian band was only active 1970-71, producing one album, although it did have some influence. The British band's career spans 30 years, they have produced a dozen albums and are still active. No such user (talk) 08:35, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose while we have Bush (Canadian band). End of story. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:45, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Long story short, this connection to just the word "band" is not enough to warrant another Thriller (album) situation ... which has a very high bar. Steel1943 (talk) 16:47, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Incomplete disambiguation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:43, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
