Talk:Van Canto

message: Some IPs disagree with the group being classified as a cappella, since they use drums. I think the porpose of the band is in fact combining elements of a cappella music with heavy/power metal (they are self-labeled as "a cappella hero metal"). It would help if other editors could add their opinions. Victão Lopes I hear you... 23:29, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, but their voices are explicit attempts to sound like real guitars...it's just like Apocalyptica with their cellos. I think we should concentrate on the way they sound instead of the looking only at the technical aspects. Victão Lopes I hear you... 20:16, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  a cappella or not? 

message: The correct capitalization appears to be "Van Canto", not "van Canto". The band uses this capitalization themselves consistently throughout their website - I checked every page on their site, both in English and German, and in every case (except for the question "What does ‘van canto’ mean?" on the FAQ page) they capitalize it "Van Canto". Accordingly, I've edited the article to change it to "Van Canto" throughout.
I also removed the lowercase tag, so that the article title displays as "Van Canto" instead of "van Canto".
I also removed the "stylized as van Canto" phrase. I assume the basis for this assertion is the band name logo as rendered on their album covers (and on the lead singer's tattoo), in which it looks like the V is lower-case and the C is upper-case. However, strictly speaking, the logo is rendered in mixed upper case, lower case, and small capitals, kind of like this: "vAn CAnTo". I don't think we can use the album cover art as indicative of how the name is "stylized" in common usage. 69.45.101.6 (talk) 19:08, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Capitalization 

message: This page is rather inconsistent. It should either have links to the individual albums, whom should then be on separate pages, or it should have all released albums on the main page. I would think the separate pages would be better, then being more consistent with other band's pages.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reelmusik (talk • contribs) 03:55, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: We once had articles for every van Canto album, but all but Break the Silence were deleted. Victão Lopes Fala! 19:25, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Any clue why?  The way the albums are handled here is completely alien to how every other band's albums are handled, unless style guides have changed recently.  Plus, why save just that one album, but no others?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.75.152.157 (talk) 03:01, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Basically they had few or no sources to indicate notability. Break the Silence had a little more sources, so it could stay. But the guidelines instruct us to merge non-notable albums to the "Discography" section of the bands. Victão Lopes Fala! 21:09, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discography 

message: Hi there! To any and all interested: I've proposed a WikiProject dedicated to a cappella. This would be a group of editors interested in improving the quality of articles related to a cappella. If you're passionate about a cappella—ranging from the Pentatonix to groups like van Canto, or perhaps pop culture representations like Pitch Perfect and The Sing-Off—please check out the proposal and share your thoughts!
Here's a link to the proposal for WikiProject A Cappella.
If you could see yourself contributing to an article related to a cappella (like this one), please consider joining!
