Dogstar (band) → Dogstar – Looks to me very much like this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Dogstar" by page views . Topics called "Dog Star" don't need to be considered per WP:SMALLDETAILS. -- Fyrael (talk) 16:37, 11 November 2019 (UTC) Pageviews link that the template wouldn't let me include -- Fyrael (talk) 16:37, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose precisely because it is a small detail. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:31, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Too obscure to be the primary topic for a compound that could be used for other things. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:44, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. The band's obscurity seems insufficient to overcome other uses (including those commonly given as two words). ╠╣uw [talk] 15:17, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support because Keanu is totally my primary. Oppose per above. Nick Number (talk) 17:23, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That was definitely my motivation. You got me. -- Fyrael (talk) 19:09, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

Should dogstar be Canadian-American because Keanu I think is Canadian? 2603:8001:8001:F591:B868:2005:C4E5:B1EF (talk) 03:18, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality of a band usually comes from the place it was formed. Dogstar formed in Los Angeles, California, US. Only if the media use a different nationality would we follow suit and describe the band as something other than American. Binksternet (talk) 03:39, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
