Hi all, so many of you guys know that on the infobox image has been OL for the past few months. Should we change it to NE, or keep it as OL, or should we use them for the prose? Let me know what you guys think. — VAUGHAN J. (t · c) 00:32, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I suggest you crop the second image if there's any hope of this being changed..... not sure how the top of heads will fly with anyone. Moxy🍁 01:32, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Cropped. — VAUGHAN J. (t · c) 02:57, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
@HorrorLover555, FlightTime, Carlinal, and Shaidar cuebiyar: Any choices? — VAUGHAN J. (t · c) 04:26, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- OL. Since Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd are still officially members, it would be more informative to have an image of the two on the infobox. NE is not the current lineup of AC/DC, but its touring counterpart. If we have a decent enough image of Cliff, Phil and Stevie Young together, that would be ideal for a new infobox image. Carlinal (talk) 09:16, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- OL per Carlinal. HorrorLover555 (talk) 11:56, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Archiving. Final result is OL. — VAUGHAN J. (t · c) 03:22, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

AC/DC are not Australian. Given the members were from Glasgow, Scotland and parts of England that makes them British. 2A0C:B381:576:C000:C413:F304:8DCB:2D80 (talk) 06:15, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Not done See this discussion above. That has been discussed countless times, and long withstanding consensus has ruled that the band is to be referred to as Australian. HorrorLover555 (talk) 11:01, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- For once and for all, let me clarify what makes AC/DC an Australian band.
- Angus and Malcolm Young were born in Scotland in the 1955 and 1953, respectively. Them and the whole Young family moved to Sydney, Australia in June 1963. They have then formed the band there in November 1973.
- Yes, we all know that the members of the band is from other countries, like Matt Laug and Chris Chaney is from America, Brian Johnson is from England, they still count as an Australian band, because of where they started from. — VAUGHAN J. (t · c) 00:38, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Left guide (talk) 09:51, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- To comment, both Chris Chaney and Matt Laug are not official members, and there has been no announcement that they have permanently replaced both Rudd and Williams. At the end of the day, Chaney and Laug are touring members. HorrorLover555 (talk) 15:50, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
