British / Canadian?

I was wondering about the label of British/Canadian... Is the Canadian side of that really notable? I mean, only two of the members were born there - and even then they didn't stay longer than 10 years. The band was formed in the UK, and I don't see any Canadian influences. It's a minor point though. Celardore 14:43, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

There's a precedent here. U2 consist of two Irishmen and two Englishmen, yet there is a flat refusal by editors to accept "Anglo-Irish band". So British band it should be for All Saints (otherwise Wikipedia is proved to be an inconsistent joke ruled by a tiny majority of prejudiced people with their own axes to grind). 86.7.208.240 00:46, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

That is no argument, because two wrongs don't make a right. In this case it is either British because it was founded in London, or it is British/Canadian because it consists of two Canadians and two Britons. Nevertheless regardless of what is written here, it'll change and this will only turn into another fruitless discussion. Just like "British singer" as always gets changed to "English singer" and back again. (BTW Wikipedia is an inconsistent joke) KittenKlub 07:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Merge proposal

Well, I say yes, merge the All Saints 1.9.7.5. article into this one. The other article is basically a track listing anyway... Budgiekiller 08:05, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Support Merge; same band, minor name difference- just a part of history that is better served by keeping it in context. If the article gets too long due to the discography details, split along main-article/discography lines, but I'm not convinced that the level of detail in All Saints 1.9.7.5. is required anyway. Fourohfour 18:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Merge; the information can be added into a section on the All Saints page. Plus All Saints 1.9.7.5 includes much unneeded information anyway. Peter will 18:30, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Merge; All the track information in the All Saints 1.9.7.5. article is already listed in the individual articles for those singles, so I've completed the merge. Psychonaut3000 19:05, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Use of NME cover image

The standard fair use rationale for magazine covers, including this image, says "Note: It is not acceptable to use images with this tag in the article of the person or persons depicted on the cover, unless used directly in connection with the publication of this image. Such usages will be removed" So surely this image is not fair use here? Jimbow25 20:55, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Are the Appleton sisters Jews?

It says on both the Appleton sisters articles that they are Canadian Jews, is this correct? Magiclite 21:29, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Simone Rainford article

I intend to redirect Simone Rainford here per WP:MUSICBIO since the article has no assertion of notability outside her membership of the band in the early days, and she does not appear to have received sufficient coverage in reliable sources to support a standalone article (I'm not proposing a merger since the content is largely unsourced). Posting here first to ensure this is not controversial. January (talk) 19:43, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Now redirected. January (talk) 19:07, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned references in All Saints (group)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of All Saints (group)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Old history

Some old history that used to be at the title "All Saints (group)" is now at Talk:All Saints (group)/Old history. Graham87 11:39, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

English-Canadian

All Saints were formed and based in England. The Appleton sisters who joined later were only born in Canada, but have been English citizens ever since joining the group. U2 are not called Irish-English despite having English born members same with Guns N Roses are not called American-English. Marshmallow Honey (talk) 18:13, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
