[edit] Stud (band)

Never a very commercially successful band... just about sums it up!!! DavidHumphreys^{SPEAK TO ME}ABOUT_{THE THINGS I MESSED UP} 09:18, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Delete per nom. I'll accept that the members were in a notable enough band at another time (and the fact that they all apparently played bass for this more notable band is unusual), but this particular group isn't notable. BigHaz 10:19, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Maybe someone in Germany, who has this group's records and knows a good amount of English, would beg to differ! Captain Caveman 9:24 PM EDT 7/24/06

• Keep Per WP:MUSIC - Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such.. This band contains three members, so a redirect to any one of them would not be appropriate. Also, released two albums on BASF records [1]. Believe it or not, BASF actually had a division that was a record label. It also released albums by Jigsaw and Amon Düül. --Joelmills 03:25, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per Joel. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:01, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Joel. I'm not particularly keen on WP:MUSIC's pronouncement as to the necessary notability of any group containing a musician notable in view of his membership in another notable group (believing that notability need not to be understood to entail in every such situation), but I do think there exists a consensus for such entailment. Even absent such provision, though, the band, in view of Joel's adductions, might well be notable in view of its own catalogue. Joe 19:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - That reason listed above could apply to all sorts of bands, so why have criteria to begin with. GrapePie 19:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge Appears like this stub will never go beyond what should be a small entry in Family_(band). Better to merge in this case. LinaMishima 20:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Joel. The band was on a major record label... Or a record label owned by a major chemical company. Either way. -newkai | talk | contribs 22:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
