message: I guess this is a trivial matter, but for the sake of correctness, I think the 'from' in the article's main page should have the F in upper case. If you look on their MySpace page in the About section, they have the F in their name capitalized.
Prepositions in titles are usually never capitalized.  - CMK 02:31, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Since the band has gone by Death From Above 1979 since 2020, should this page be renamed and have Death From Above (band) redirect there? While on the topic of names, they often are abbreviated to DFA 1979, perhaps this should be included in the aliases? Terran Scribe (talk) 03:01, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Per WP:NATURAL there's no reason to use a name requiring parenthetical disambiguation when a relatively frequently-used unambiguous name also exists. This seems like a case where that would apply. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:15, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
