Should we move this to Daughtry (band), and make this page a disambig? Now that there's an article on the album, it might make things easier to navigate. Just a thought. íslenskur fellibylur #12 _(samtal) 21:28, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

It was originally a redirect to Chris Daughtry because of last name. {{R from surname}}. It was redirected before it was announced that there was going to be a band named after the singer's last name. Pink moon 1287 19:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Also, I think this can get up to start class if we just clean the article up a bit. I think there's some nice templates we can use from the My Chemical Romance article. íslenskur fellibylur #12 _(samtal) 21:29, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Start class now? íslenskur fellibylur #12 _(samtal) 15:57, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Hah! I knew it! I had a feeling I'd find you here, Ice. →Cyclone1→ 19:56, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Yep, I'm here, I created the article, actually. So anyway, should this be a start? íslenskur fellibylur #12 _(samtal) 21:31, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually I created it - I redirected the last name to Chris Daughtry. Pink moon 1287 19:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

But it says Shimmeran or Shimmerman, as the first edit, if you count a redirect as an article's creation. íslenskur fellibylur #12 _(samtal) 21:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah that's my alternate account (non-abusive, I never vote more than once- but there was probably a time when I voted on one account and not the other or vice versa..) from when I was on a different terminal. If you look you will see that it's on the same IP.

I always thought they put it in all caps for effect, like as an advertising gimmick. Lots of bands do this, as well. Like Plain White T's or Cartel. I don't think Wikipedia should have it in all caps. The band has their own style guidelines, and Wikipedia has style guidelines too. I'd like to propose moving this article back to Daughtry. On Orkut, they prefer to use "orkut" but on Wikipedia it's Orkut because it's a proper noun. Proper nouns are also not in all uppercase, in Daughtry's case. Oh yeah and you should also put the disambiguation tag back on- in case anyone is looking for the surname Daughtry, or the solo Chris Daughtry. Pink moon 1287 18:58, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

If it's okay with everyone else, I think this should be up'd to start class because i'm pretty sure it has all possible info about the band, and it is sufficiently sourced. Maybe it should even be a B class article. íslenskur fellibylur #12 _(samtal) 21:11, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

The band's name is in all caps. --Discharger12 04:54, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

You're right. I'm pretty sure. Should we move the article? I'll wait a few days and move it to DAUGHTRY (band) if there aren't any objections. - Anas ^Talk? 18:25, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I moved it and also edited it to fit the title. Whoever removed my last edit, stop being stupid and changing it. --Discharger12 15:04, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Anyone who does such a move should probably discuss this here before doing so. The band's name is written in caps everywhere, so that should be enough to keep the current name. This is the same deal with articles like iPod. - Anas ^Talk? 11:48, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia's style guides, the preferred method for the band shouldn't matter. Since proper nouns in English are not fully capitalized, this article should be called "Daughtry (band)". Evan Reyes 21:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, so are you going to also move LIVE to Live? No? Well, then Daughtry should be DAUGHTRY. --Discharger12 21:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

The band Live is already lowercase. Daughtry should be "Daughtry". Evan Reyes 06:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

...even though you edited it yourself. (Poorly, I might add.) You didn't bother to change anything but the title itself. --Discharger12 12:01, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] City?

Is the band based in any particular NC city? Raleigh, Durham, Burlington, Greensboro? Pink moon 1287^{(email•talk•user)} 13:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
