Proposed split[edit]

I propose that section The Williams Brothers § The Williams Brothers, second generation (Andrew and David Williams) and their discography be split into a separate page called The Williams Brothers (duo) or Andy and David Williams. The content of the current page covers two different groups called the Williams Brothers that existed contemporaneously (1938–1990s and 1970s–1990s) and had nothing in common except a distant blood relationship.

Hello AjaxSmack]

I put musical duo in the description of the article page about their album because it can be seen that they are the next generation and released their 1991 album and I can call it "duo". if there is something wrong with what I did, please help, thank you🤝 Wazzup Carl 01:26, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's no problem with an article if that album is notable, but it should not serve as a article about the duo. — AjaxSmack 02:08, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, okay, so I'll just adjust the article about the album The Williams Brothers. Wazzup Carl 02:31, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. It needs to be in two separate articles. At least for the time being, I have reworked the totally misleading and ambiguous lede which is a great improvement. As for a "distant blood relationship", being sons or nephews are hardly distant. Editrite! (talk) 08:02, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also agree that the original Williams Brothers and the "second generation" Williams Brothers are clearly different groups, despite their family ties and backgrounds. They should not co-exist in one article, they should either have an article each or, if the 2nd gen are not considered notable in their own right, should be relegated to a footnote in the main article about the original Williams Brothers. Context is badly skewed as the article stands at my timestamp. I'm also concerned that there are editors involved here who are biased because of a personal fanship of the 2nd gen version, and that's not neutral editing.
