Talk:Daft Punk

Post break up information

I think the section about what they have done post break up might be something where we should not go into detail if it's only about one member. We have articles for Guy Manual and Thomas Bangalter for that detailed info. I can start to see a coatrack effect happening here and it's going to eventually give undue weight to the band's article as a whole. – The Grid (talk) 15:59, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Merge proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To merge Darlin' (French band) into this article; overlap; historical continuity; key part of history; short text and context. Klbrain (talk) 19:28, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

I propose we merge Darlin' (French band) into Daft Punk. The content on the Darlin' page is already covered on the Daft Punk page. The rest is uncited and not obviously notable. Popcornfud (talk) 15:48, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

I have no authority or expertise, but my personal gut feeling tells me these should be separated. An additional band member, different genre, etc., makes me feel like it was more like a protogenetic evolution than being the same thing. Maybe pose this talk page to /r/daftpunk for a more detailed analysis? Electricmaster (talk) 10:16, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

r/daftpunk? The reddit page? Forgive me, but if we went by the opinions of Redditors, every Daft Punk B-side would have three different Wikipedia pages.

In any case, it's not to do with how different Darlin' were from Daft Punk, it's to do with how much coverage there is of them in reliable sources. There isn't really enough quality coverage to justify giving them their own page, it can all be summarized in the Daft Punk article. Popcornfud (talk) 11:53, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Uhhhh consulting Reddit (or any off-wiki website) is certainly not how the process works. We're not particularly seeking out the opinions of superfans, we need the opinions of experienced Wikipedia editors. Sergecross73 msg me 15:36, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Merge per nom. This band doesn't appear to be independently notable, but can be discussed in the history section of Daft Punk with a redirect and a bolded name. voorts (talk/contributions) 15:48, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

• Merge per WP:MERGEREASON. There's very little there. It can just be a small mention in DP's early part of its history section. It's actually pretty much mostly already in place. Sergecross73 msg me 16:14, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
• Merge per WP:MERGEREASON. I used to have Laurent Brancowitz as its own article until realizing he's not independently notable to have a separate article. When Darlin's history can be explained in a paragraph, we already have the info about the short lived band in the right place. – The Grid (talk) 16:52, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
• Merge. I consider myself a super-fan of Daft Punk, yet agree that a band that they were in for six months before actually becoming famous isn't notable enough for its own article. The redirect to the history section of Daft Punk's would be enough. I think that article does a better job of explaining the band than its main article does, and anyone searching for Darlin' is likely doing so under the context of looking at Daft Punk's history anyway. -- coco (talk) 10:02, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
• Merge per WP:MERGEREASON. Redundancy and lack of notability. Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 21:42, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
• Merge per WP:MERGEREASON. I note that two of the only three references for the D'arlin article were about Daft Punk, in which D'arlin gets a brief mention. 14.2.200.245 (talk) 10:03, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Merge per nom. Darlin' was only around for a year, had no notable pieces of work, and is considered a stepping stone to Daft Punk. Dares7361 (talk) 18:36, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Merge per WP:MERGEREASON, no other rationale needed in my opinion. Sock (tock talk) 18:41, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Daft Punk were a French electronic music duo formed in 1993 in Paris by Thomas Bangalter (left) and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. They achieved popularity in the late 1990s as part of the French house movement, combining house music, funk, disco, techno, rock and synth-pop. They are regarded as one of the most influential acts in dance music. From 1999, Daft Punk assumed robot personas for public appearances, with helmets, outfits and gloves to disguise their identities, and made few media appearances. In 2013, the band released their fourth and final album, Random Access Memories, to acclaim. The lead single, "Get Lucky", reached the top 10 in the charts of 27 countries. The album won five Grammy Awards in 2014, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for "Get Lucky". This promotional photograph shows Daft Punk in 2013 after the release of Random Access Memories.
