List of Offspring members → List of The Offspring band members – Consistency with other articles, e.g. List of Maroon 5 band members, List of Faith No More band members et al. I can't move it to "List of The Offspring band members" myself, as the page is a redirect to The Offspring Wiki itself.

- Move to a different title: The capitalization of "The" seems contrary to sentence case, so they are formatted the same way as continuous prose. I suggest List of members of the Offspring (since the word "band" is not necessary, AFAICT), List of band members of the Offspring, or maybe List of the Offspring band members (although the last one seems a bit awkward to me). Perhaps the other mentioned examples should be moved, e.g., to List of members of Maroon 5 and List of members of Faith No More. — BarrelProof (talk) 19:19, 11 August 2023 (UTC)]
- Support List of the Offspring band members as second choice, per BarrelProof. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 14:42, 18 August 2023 (UTC)]
- Support List of the Offspring band members, given that Offspring is something different from the band. BD2412 T 15:38, 18 August 2023 (UTC)]
- Move to a different title MOS:CAPS to do so when not even the band does -at least not consistently. See the album cover for Ignition (The Offspring album). Cinderella157 (talk) 02:16, 19 August 2023 (UTC)]
- In this case, I see that the disambiguation phrases in Category:The Offspring songs and Category:The Offspring albums include "The". On Wikipedia, that depends on the band in question. It is also done for The Chainsmokers, but it is not done for The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. — BarrelProof (talk) 16:23, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

- Just leave it as none of the proposed moves seem like they improve it, really. Maybe someone will make a good more focused case later. Dicklyon (talk) 05:47, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
