Isn't the name of the band "Make Up" rather than "The Make Up"? I have several of their CD's and they all read "Make Up" rather than "The Make Up". also the Dischord Records website [1], a label that carried the band.
Well I'm going to move this article tomorrow morning. - RRR
Sorry, been in China for a while - as for this question, the band used both names on record sleeves but referred to themselves in songs usually with 'The' - so either is acceptable. -- Sachabrunel 11:08, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
This entry should be edited to reflect that their first album, "Destination:Love - Live at Cold Rice" is not actually a live album. It was recorded in a studio, and "live" sounds were dubbed in later.
Here are my comments with respect to reviewing this article for WP:GA status.
I'll place the review on hold - the most serious issue is the lineprose which I think can be relatively simply addressed. Let me know when you'd like a re-review. The Rambling Man 09:21, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
This article has been reviewed as part of
Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the
Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a
Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through
WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at
WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far..
I will review this article. Lampman ( talk) 16:45, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
Generally it's a healthy article, probably because it went through an (unsuccessful) FA review late in 2007. The only major problem is with the references. There are four dead links, three of them associated with the site Drag City (I've tagged the dead links.) One of these is used ten times, and constitutes a major part of the sourcing of the band's biography. I tried to track down the links, but to no avail. This causes a major problem with WP:V. If I understand correctly, these were pure web references, that now simply don't exist any more. This will have to be addressed for the article to maintain GA status.

The result of the move request was: Moved. ( non-admin closure) – Ammarpad ( talk) 08:21, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
The Make-Up →
Make-Up (American band) – Per
WP:THE, "The" should only be used in the article title if the definite article is used by the band on their musical publications (CDs, audiotapes, records, etc.) or on their official website.
However, this band doesn't appear to use "The" any more. I couldn't find an official website, but every one of their album covers released after 1996 does not use "The":

Make-Up (Japanese band).
