Talk:Dio (band)

message: Whatever the outcome of the above discussion, a cut-and-paste move of the type attempted on 8 March should never be done. When a page is moved that way it loses all the edit history of the old page and appears as if it were just started by the mover on the day of the move, especially if there is no edit summary on the new page. If the Move function is unavailable, due to edit history on the destination page or other reasons, the best thing is to list it at WP:Requested moves where an admin can move the page.

replies: text: It appears that there is a general consensus among us to redirect the article. The past several posts have all been in favour of it. And, of course, the disambiguation page shall remain as is, with Dio the band appearing first. Therefore, to any administrator: please rename this article Dio (band), and redirect Dio to the disambiguation page. Cheers. --Ambrosiaster (talk) 21:00, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: That's fine. By "see to it" I meant check to make sure it's appropriate. I suggest follosing the guideline at WP:MOVE.   Will Beback  talk   02:22, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears that a great deal of human energy has been allotted to a simple redirect. Therefore, let's have a survey and have done with it. --Ambrosiaster (talk) 09:24, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I think some discussion of their logo is warranted.  I believe their logo is noteworthy because when rotated 180° (i.e., when viewed upside down) it spells "DEVIL".  Would be good to put the logo up.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lenehey (talk • contribs) 22:30, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The logo (and the inversion of it) is discussed in the opening paragraph.  I see no reason why you couldn't put the logo into the article, the logo for Kiss is in their article. J04n(talk page) 22:39, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I was reading the discussion on the Dio being main page vs. a disambiguation page. The Dio (Band) side won, ok. However, it won by too much; the disambiguation page now starts with Cassius Dio, and Dio (Band) is number 16 or 17 on the list, while still being, by very very far, the one that people are most looking for.
The alphabetical order ("Ancient history" vs. "Music") is not a valid argument, because there's "Places" and "People" in the middle.
So, it seems this is simple prejudice - "ancient history" being more "important" than "Music".
The disambiguation page is, in this case, already against the normal rules, so it certainly should have first what comes first in terms of searches - Dio (Band) and Ronnie James Dio.

message: I'm pretty sure Dio was power metal with his epic/positive/uplifting songs such as Mystery, Sacred Heart, I Could Have Been A Dreamer, Dream Evil, All the Fools Sailed Away, ect. with their keyboards and fantasy/medieval themes. American power metal at least. The speed was there in some songs. /  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.229.64.148 (talk) 23:52, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Not very reliable. Anyway, it's been removed. Dio has some elements found in power metal, but not enough to be considered power metal. They'd be proto-power, if that's even a thing. 80.203.56.165 (talk) 15:38, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

message: In the lists of "Personnel" on band pages, I very much prefer just seeing the members listed in chronological order. It makes it a lot easier to read and understand, especially as opposed to grouping them by instrument, which doesn't make any sense to me. However, I've noticed that every time I set it up this way, someone invariably changes it. What are some others' thoughts on this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by SnakeRambo (talk • contribs) 06:54, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Band members 

message: That’s 3.5 million. If you add world sales, it couldn’t be more than 10 million and likely isn’t more than 5 million. This was a minor band. I suspect a manager made this edit to sell them to festivals when people who hire bands glance at wiki to determine the value of a band. Is not encyclopedic, is fraud, or a mistake at best 2600:1012:B1CC:D9A4:6167:9116:F2F2:34B4 (talk) 15:54, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
