"Pop boy band"?[edit]

"Pop boy band" doesn't seem like an accurate description of the band's genre and may seem to express an opinion on their music. "Alternative rock" was much better, not sure why this was changed.--2620:101:F000:3401:0:0:0:E0D (talk) 04:04, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

54 40 was also referenced in the first season episode one of degrassi high by Joey. :D — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.207.71.83 (talk) 05:45, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

European Success[edit]

I note there's no mention of 54-40s popularity in Europe (and I believe Japan as well). Their album "Loved By Millions" was alluding to this fact, and I recall hearing on the radio once that one 54-40 album ("Since When" maybe?) sold more units and was higher ranked on the charts than it had in Canada, where 54-40 has never reached "Our Lady Peace" proportions —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.148.61.115 (talk • contribs) 14:15, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Boundary Disputes

I do not believe that 5440 got its name from the Oregon Dispute. Instead, I believe it is from the border dispute between Canada and the US. It is the same line of latitude, but that line of latitude has been used for more then one dispute. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.68.166.250 (talk) 04:18, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

54-40 discography[edit]

Support split - Discography section takes up more than one third of the page and should be split to a new article entitled 54-40 discography. --Jax 0677 (talk) 19:25, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose A split is only necessary if the article itself was getting too large where a split would be beneficial. There is not enough content in the main article to warrant a split at this time. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 19:55, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Singles table is broken[edit]

There are additional entries in the singles chart that aren't formatted properly — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.254.60.93 (talk) 23:37, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
