This article feels undecided whether it is about the virtual band featured in the franchise, or about the franchise itself. It has a band's infobox and its opening statement refers to the band, yet this article also serves as the main article of the entire Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise (TV shows, movies, and music releases).
I suggest a split to be made so that this article's sole purpose is for the francise, and an article to be created for Alvin and the Chipmunks (band). Lazz_R 19:54, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Support per above. This article could do with being split. Sahaib3005 ( talk) 17:51, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

According to this article in The Hollywood Reporter : https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/chipmunk-song-turns-60-secrets-a-holiday-classic-1169762?fbclid=IwAR1Jwbny9pKCN85Y2V2V_sdzmPCaBGwjYRxnx1nFKOFscTJcfG9NE9TgjwQ , the Chipmunk sound during their busy recording heyday was secretly provided by 60's era session vocal group, The Eligibles. This fact should change the claim that Bagdasarian was the only voice on the recordings. However, this article is the only source of this news, and given the fringe quality of this bit of trivia, it's unlikely to ever receive additional mainstream coverage. Question: is this single source sufficient to qualify for inclusion in this article? I'm a bit hesitant to edit it in, allowing for the possibility that it is a made up claim and Bagdasarian is no longer around to dispute it. Still, the logic of hired, uncredited session men--typical of the era--is believable. ShelbyMarion ( talk) 17:16, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
Hmm. I would say no, because its only one source. However, according to mediabiasfactcheck.com, hollywoodreporter.com is Factual, but biased towards the Left-Center (source: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/hollywood-reporter/ ). LK55ABF ( talk) 13:27, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
The Wikipedia entry for Johnny Mann states that he was the singing voice of Theodore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14D:4480:B9E0:11B6:4E24:2B74:FCFC ( talk) 06:56, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
Edited the following garbage: "Alvin, the mischievous troublemaker, who quickly became the star of the group after doing the Jordan; Simon, the tall, bespectacled intellectual; and Theodore, the one who is getting the best head."
Seriously, people have nothing better to do than to insert sexual inneuendo into an article on Alvin and the Chipmunks? That's more than a little pathetic.
Changed to: "Alvin, the mischievous troublemaker; Simon, the tall, bespectacled intellectual; and Theodore, the chubby, shy one." HillbillyProfane ( talk) 05:42, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Alvin and the Chipmunks → The Chipmunks – Per WP:COMMONNAME, the article's name should reflect the most common usage. The band is known widely as the Chipmunks. The article was moved to the Chipmunks in 2006, but it was moved back in 2007. [1] Neither of those moves was discussed. The band was first known as David Seville and the Chipmunks, as seen on 1959 and 1960 record labels, but it was shortened to the Chipmunks later in 1960, [2] and it remained the Chipmunks from that point onward. The prefix "Alvin and" was never used officially, and is not a common usage either. Binksternet ( talk) 15:25, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
