It/They

I see you're Australian, I'm American, and I'm telling you, bands are "they" here, not "it". "We went on tour with it" sounds completely wrong, and this tendency to refer to bands as "it" is something I've noticed on Wikipedia more than anywhere else (and not even consistently within articles, like this one). Believe me, I've been listening to music my whole life, and we say "they", not "it" – we only use the singular form of verbs when we use the name of the band itself. `Esszet (talk) 03:30, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Esszet, if you feel strongly enough about it, please discuss at the article talk page, not here, and don't revert again unless you reach a consensus. In the meantime, read here: In American English (AmE), collective nouns are almost always singular in construction: the committee was unable to agree. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 05:02, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I already did, and are you seriously trying to tell me how American English works? Fucking seriously? I already explained it above, we do not say "We went on tour with it". Why do you think you knoew American English better than I do? Esszet (talk) 05:06, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Esszet, keep the discussion to the article talk page. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 07:25, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
