[edit] Seperate articles?

Good work, this is a nice album page... but, shouldn't it be The_Concert_For_Bangladesh which already has a page although this is more about the CD while that is about the concert more. gren グレン 16:07, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Not really, the seperation seems to be deliberate and both articles are substantial enough afaic. --kingboyk 19:22, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Follow the money?

If little of the money got to those in need, where did it go? Calbaer 18:58, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Names

Are we justified in disambiguating The Concert for Bangladesh as it is ? What is the justification for that split into two words ?

Or would it be better to have this as The Concert for Bangladesh (album) -- Beardo 23:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

It is confusing, but if you look at the original album cover design, you'll see a space between the two words, which I guess provided the article creator with enough reason to name it as it did. And, historically, Bangla Desh was two words. Now, how the concert/film article joined Bangladesh as one word, I don't know the history behind that. I do know, though, from watching the film and the documentary that it was presented on theater marquees as The Concert for Bangladesh. Still confused? I know I am, but I'm okay with that for now. Perhaps it would be better to move the article under the parenthetical title, or create a redirect link under that title, which reflects modern usage that most of today's Internet folks are familiar with. More discussion along these lines has been held on Talk:The Concert for Bangladesh. — WiseKwai 07:36, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
