Meaning[edit]

Can someone please add, at the top of the article, what Sirius means? I couldn't find an answer in a 5-minute web search; I found it translated as "dog" (which I thought was the meaning), "bright" and "scorching", at least. --Cotoco 22:35, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not where such info belongs. Take your concern to Sirius or Orion.

Cleanup[edit]

This disambiguation page was marked for cleanup per MoS:DAB. I removed several entries for not belonging on this dab page.
Moved to Sirius in fiction:

Sirius, a werewolf, is the boss of the Lake Janneia stage in the Ogre Battle video game series.
Sirius, suggested as the real first name of Dr. Julius No in the GoldenEye: Rogue Agent video game by Electronic Arts.
The "Seven Stars of Sirius" are giant star-transformers that hold together the Keywork (a vast structure of 12 sectors/78 planets) and Heaven's Fence in The Amory Wars (aka The Story of Coheed and Cambria), comics.

Removed for (likely) non-notability:

Sirius (rapper), a Norwegian rapper
Sirius (band), a symphonic black metal band from Portugal

Removed for being a compound name (which do not belong on dab pages) or for being too loosely assiciated with "Sirius":

From Mars to Sirius is a 2005 album by Gojira.
Sirius Mo, a German House and Dirty Electro producer from Berlin (real name Moritz Friedrich), best known for songs such as Immer Wieder, Warum Bist Du Gegangen and Meine Welt.
"Star of Sirius" is a song on the album Voyage of the Acolyte (1975) by Steve Hackett.
"Dog Star Sirius" is a song performed in "Toxic Talent" episode of the Atomic Betty animated television show.
Sirius Isness is a Psychedelic Trance act by French artists Davina and Max.
"Dog Star (Fly On)" is a song on the album Dope Dogs (1993) by The P Funk All Stars. It identifies Sirius as a cosmic source of Funk power.
"Dog Days" is a song on the album Test for Echo (1996) by Rush. It includes the lyrics "In the dog days / People look to Sirius".

Someone put back

* From Mars to Sirius, album by Gojira

and w/o realizing it had been dumped before, i did some Google research. Calling either the album or the song "To Sirius" is very, very uncommon. I'm not gonna bother this time, but the edit-history research on who has put it back is not that hard to do, and the results should be recorded here.

Band[edit]

Google & WP searches suggest that SiriuS (links) (associated with Daniel Cardoso), Sirius (Portugal), Sirius (band) (links) and Sirius (Portuguese band) may be one, but even combined, their low notabilities don't seem likely to ever add up to an article. More dedicated research may show otherwise; in that case, the various redlinks should be consolidated to a single title.
If not writing stub, be sure to make the Dab entry something like

* SiriuS (band), Portuguese, including Daniel Cardoso

so that (1) the title doesn't rely on one oddly cased letter to distinuguish it from the star in searches (which are often case insensitive) and (2) we have the red link there, lest we imply the bio provides the kind of info that users come to a 'pedia seeking!
