Scooter Braun was not the manager of The Wanted, Robert Mackintosh and Jayne Collins were and they brought them together in 2009 Scooter took them over in 2015 and a year later they broke up. So please could you chnage this because this information is invalid. Angelmac333 (talk) 08:48, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just wanted to suggest a few points about this article.

It is a actually easy to say that The Wanted are arguably some of the most successful boybands besides One Direction to be more or less successful in a global scale, none other bands besides 1D were that successful worldwide like The Wanted. Like, I mean they have over 10 singles in the U.K. top 10 chart to there name and also charted successful in many other countries around the world hello.... ^{[citation needed]}

I feel that they are very underrated considering the fact that other boybands (except 1D) couldn't achieve what they did. Think they deserve some credit as well...

Thank you. DawnOfaNewEra (talk) 11:22, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question

I just curiously want to know the user who removed the "boy band" categories from this page, despite the article explicitly calling them one. They were scouted and formed as one; could not be any less of a boy band. What idiot would like to fess up? Sorry for sounding mean (lol). RedSorcery16 (talk) 16:45, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
