[edit] City and Colour
It is redundant to have the Dallas Green and City and Colour articles separate. City and Colour is Dallas Green, and the Dallas Green page is all about his music. For example, artists like Billy Corgan, or Tom Petty don't have articles solely for their solo projects, again because its redundant. Also, its useless to make a separate page with the same recycled info as the original, except with less actual information that the original and with improperly sources images.
City and Colour is just a moniker, one that Dallas didn't even use his latest album anyway..

- Keep. There are already many cases where a solo project with a different name from the musician has its own page. See, for example, Lord Wind, From Bubblegum to Sky, All-Time Quarterback, The Threshold HouseBoy's Choir, Ris Paul Ric, and others. Furthermore, the fact that Dallas chooses to use City and Colour on only some of his albums accentuates the distinction. From the comments on Talk:City and Colour, it appears that this complaint is motivated by WP:OWN. Grouse 11:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. City and Colour is a band, Dallas Green is a person. Both Dallas Green and City and Colour simply need more information. The Dallas Green page needs to become more of a biography about Dallas' life such as his early life or other such information. Information regarding biographies is collected over a period of time and the article won't expand overnight. City and Colour will probably continue to grow as a band because of the success up to this time; I don't feel there's a enough reason to delete an article simply because it currently lacks information. Take for example Crystal Castles (band). The page started like this and has been expanded a great deal. I would also like to point out that Dallas has made music under his own name of Dallas Green and also of City and colour.

- Keep. City and Colour is not Dallas Green alone; it's a band comprising Green and Julius Butty. Bearcat 03:15, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, as per above comments. Also, all this article needs is some expansion, and it will be fine. -- Reaper X 22:11, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
