Noooo, please don't merge it with the Belmonts. Dion was a distinct individual and a good person. He broke away from the Belmonts and made a name for himself. I'd prefer the page just be developed as is. Thanks for inviting input!

This should NOT be merged with The Belmonts article. Along with the entities of The Belmonts and "Dion and the Belmonts", Dion is a separate subject. It should just be clear where the overlaps were. More information from The Belmonts article could be moved into the "Dion and the Belmonts" article. Not differentiating them properly is a common mistake these decades later. In fact I think it was a mistake of someone to redirect Dion and the Belmonts to The Belmonts some time ago. George Slivinsky 15:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Dion left the Belmonts in the early 60's and has since recorded many many albums and toured as a solo artist. There has been the occasional "reunion" shows but by all means, he has long demonstrated notability on his own. --Oakshade 18:44, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
No, keep it seperate, as they were seperate entities. Except when recording together, they both had their own paths.
Absolutely Not. Dion's solo career spans 45+ years. The Belmonts shared the marquee for less than 3 years. It would be like suggesting that this article be retitled "Dion & the Little Kings" simply because he performed with them in the early 2000s. Cheap Karaoke CDs often mislabel Dion solo material as "Dion & The Belmonts" -- don't let Wikipedia join that rabble!
- I am strongly opposed to merging this article. Dion is too prolific a solo artist for that. He is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the rest of the Belmonts are not; furthermore, his most famous song, "Runaround Sue" which was a #1 hit, was recorded a full year after their split.Chuchunezumi 18:25, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
I protest the merger of Dion merging with The Belmonts. Dion had a lot more hits as a solo artist than with The Belmonts. And he's still recording in the 21st Century. Sandmandreams 14:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Apparently the correct name is: "Dion and the Belmonts", not the Belmonts. However, Dion the solo act or person is as, if not more than, significant. Fore mostly, he is inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame as Dion. 14.11, 19 Febuary 2007 (UTC)
