Reunion? False

The band has a super low probability of reuniting. I HIGHLY doubt that they’d actually come back in 2 years’ time 2603:8001:2E07:2D00:1542:78A1:1792:2502 (talk) 22:08, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oasis' worldwide sales records

Is it true that Oasis has sold over 90 million records worldwide? If so, then Oasis should be added to the list of best-selling music artists worldwide. 2601:407:4181:4260:8C55:D86C:6B6E:B6CE (talk) 00:39, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since Oasis selling over 90 million records worldwide was proven wrong, what about Oasis selling over 70 or 75 million records worldwide, as said by two different sources? I think people who look at this article (like me) are very confused about this. Does anyone know how to erase this confusion over this issue? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:407:4181:4260:810F:EF24:92C8:AAA6 (talk) 01:56, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Already a band called Oasis before them

Was there any legal situation about them using the name, with Peter Skellern already having a band called Oasis? Middle More Rider (talk) 02:34, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt it, not least because nobody remembers Skellern's Oasis. To my understanding there's no actual law to stop two bands having the same name - it just comes down to whether the name's original owners want to sue - and even if they do there's no guarantee that they'll succeed (see for example the Blue vs Blue court case).

Possible Oasis reunion announcement (27/08/24)

Should we mention this in the wiki? or just wait until its announced?Umbre04 (talk) 02:06, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just wait until it's announced. This isn't a news site. Anwegmann (talk) 12:34, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like we have a date now... -89.245.22.1 (talk) 18:08, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great. We can add content about a reunion if it is officially announced on that day. This changes nothing. Anwegmann (talk) 18:46, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you add a year’s active section for 2024 - present Please. Thank you 46.69.114.84 (talk) 17:22, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, because the band has not officially announced that they are reforming. This is, indeed, why the page has protection. Anwegmann (talk) 17:27, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
