Keep or merge - Band has at least two notable musicians. Otherwise, merge to Lukas Rossi, Mike Orlando or John Moyer, but do not delete page history. --Jax 0677 (talk) 13:09, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

so if someone forms a band and it has at least 2 musicians with a wikipedia article in it, that band is automatically notable and must be kept, even if that band never released anything? --FMSky (talk) 13:30, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - WP:NBAND, "or merge". --Jax 0677 (talk) 13:40, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The above recommendation to merge is the type of bureaucratic thinking that saddles Wikipedia with pointless articles that say nothing beyond how something exists, and dubiously precious edit histories of the same. WP:NBAND starts with the phrase "may be notable" if one of the criteria is satisfied. Well this band may be notable because it has certain musicians in it, until you do a little research and find that they achieved practically nothing beyond forming one day and telling a few media outlets that they existed. They created one single self-released video and then nothing else happened. The band's brief existence can be mentioned at each member's article.
