if $NotableBandA breaks up, and $NotableBandB breaks up, and members from both groups join together to form $NewBand, but $NewBand falls apart before ever producing an album, is $NewBand notable? DS 14:42, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Per WP:MUSIC, $NewBand is notable if it "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise extremely notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such". In this case, I've never heard of $NotableBandA (The Watchmen) (thus calling into question whether it's extremely notable),
and $NotableBandB (Headstones) doesn't even have a Wikipedia article. Merge and redirect as appropriate. --Metropolitan90 15:39, September 3, 2005 (UTC)or $NotableBandB (The Headstones) either. Abstain due to new information from Pburka. --Metropolitan90 01:53, September 4, 2005 (UTC) - Sure they do. It's at The Headstones, and both previous bands are extremely notable in Canadian alt-rock. Redline seems to get a reasonable number of google hits, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and vote weak keep, or merge and redirect. Not quite sure where to merge to, though.

- When reading bios on band members, do they leave the failed band attempts out? Of course not. (It's something else again if the person was never in a notable band to begin with.) Weak Keep based on this philosophy and WP:MUSIC. --Jacqui M Schedler 06:10, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
