Proposed change - three different bands called the Regents.[edit]
There are now three articles about three different bands with the same name: Regents, The Regents, Regents (band). I believe this is confusing and contrary to Wikipedia policy. I would propose that the example of the two groups called 'The Beat' is followed: The Beat (British band) and The Beat (American band) are used, with no one band allowed to 'own' the name. I would suggest the following: 'The Regents (British Band)', 'The Regents (American doo-wop band)' and 'The Regents (American punk band)'. There would also be a disambiguation page listing all three.
