[edit] Requested move
It was suggested that this article should be renamed Kasabian. The vote is shown below:
- I moved this earlier today, but was reverted, so I'm getting a second opinion. There are 764,000 Google hits for kasabian (admittedly an overcount), 188,000 hits for kasabian album, and 27,000 for linda kasabian (probably also an overcount: "linda kasabian" is much less common). —Mulad (talk) June 30, 2005 06:21 (UTC)
- Oppose. Fact is the term Kasabian can refer to the person, band or album of the same name. Likewise, the U2 and Oasis pages contain disambiguations, altough the respective bands are nevertheless popular as well. --Madchester June 30, 2005 16:19 (UTC)
- Oppose. Agree with the fact that this term could be used by anyone to refer to the person, band or album. A random student might be looking up info on the Manson murders and type in "Kasabian" (leaving out "Linda"). Cbing01 30 June 2005 16:34 (UTC)
- Support. A disambig notice at the top of the page would allow people to find the other uses of the word. Not comparable to U2 and Oasis as both of those terms have a number of other common uses. Also, it's common for bands to be at bandname with the self-titled album at bandname (album), eg Kylie Minogue / Kylie Minogue (album). Vclaw 30 June 2005 19:23 (UTC)
- Support. I think a Disambig notice at the top of the band page is good enough. Megapixie 1 July 2005 15:26 (UTC)
- Oppose. don't see the point in changing the existing format which was already feasible, and more presentable. --LeoTheLion 1 July 2005 17:39 (UTC)
- Support. I could see your point about Kasbaian meaning other things then the band if there were articles on other things but as it is there is just the band.--Josquius 14:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] they are hypocritical noobs
they dare try and say summin about the best band in the world again and they will regret it cos frank will get pansy on them >.< MCR rules<==Pansy Dieded :'( RIP
The thing with Kylie Minogue, is that her name is specific; it can only refer to one person or her discography. The same can't be said of bands like Kasabian, Oasis, U2, Live, Spoon, Queen, etc. --Madchester June 30, 2005 19:47 (UTC)
- But if one meaning is predominant then Primary topic disambiguation is used, with the most common name at the mainpage, and a disambig link at the top of the page. eg Yes, Blur, Keane, Leftfield, Runrig, Squeeze etc. I believe Kasabian (band) is the predominant meaning here (the google results seem to show that).

I think a student looking up the Manson murders would type "Manson murders" and would click on a link to Linda Kasabian. Megapixie 1 July 2005 15:26 (UTC)
It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. violet/riga (t) 19:40, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
The album is self-titled and doesn't count. So - we have the band, or half the name of someone. Secretlondon 22:25, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
[Taken from WP:NAME :] "When necessary, disambiguation should be done...". Seeing as the article Kasabian is not actually being used, it is not necessary to disambiguate, therefore it should not be done. -Ally 22:09, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
The start of this article is really messy. Some of it should probably be split up into different sections underneath the contents. I'm going to have a go at this and if you don't like what I've done then revert my edits, but if that happens I'm going to tag it for cleanup and let someone else do it. Cheers, T.

[edit] Album Release Date
I thought the album was coming out early september, not late august. Can someone please verify this.
Confirmed on Radio 1 that release date is 4th September 2006 Ray 13:56, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- According to the band's myspace, which is probably the most updated reference to band says 28th August. Quote: "The Empire single is out now in the UK in all good download and realworld stores. iTunes or Napster, for example. DVD and 10" vinyl formats will follow on August 21st.
It preceeds the album of the same name, which comes out on August 28th."

HMV and Amazon both state release date as September 4th. Ray 20:07, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Confirmed as August 28th - Myspace clearly is the most reliable source... Narsamson 15:54, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Call to what?
"a self-described 'call to arms'": a call to arms to do what? Or just a generic call to arms, equally calling out to (just for example) neo-Nazis and veterans of the Militant Tendency? (As it stands, the phrase seems meaningless to me.) - Jmabel | Talk 16:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Leicester City
They are all big supporters of Leicester City F.C. and their songs are sometimes played before matches at the walkers stadium. - I'm sure one of them mentioned on Soccer AM that he was a Leeds supporter.
