[edit] Prussian Blue (British band)

Non-notable band vanity. Not on allmusic.com, not on Amazon.com, apparently fails WP:NMG. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 22:15, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep for disambiguation purposes. This is not the group with the racist teenage girls; that's Prussian Blue (American duo). An article about both the British and American bands by this name passed an AfD vote last month; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prussian Blue (band). The article was later split up into separate articles for each of the groups by this name. Keeping this article will help people differentiate between the two bands with the same name but extremely dissimilar views. --Metropolitan90 00:02, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep they actually are on AMG, though it isn't obvious (this band is on Tigga Records, and the band on AMG is on Tigga Records). Apparently AMG doesn't have an article on the creepy brainwashed girl-band. This band has 3 releases on that label (4th coming soon), I can't verify much about the label though... so they're borderline... but as Metropolitan90 the earlier AfD mentioning this band was to keep. Hence my weak keep vote. Man nothing is easy tonight. --W.marsh 00:13, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep to avoid confusion. --Apyule 01:19, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • To expand on this a bit further, there is relevant discussion on these pages: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prussian Blue (band), Talk:Prussian Blue (band), Talk:Prussian Blue (British band) and to a lesser extent Talk:Prussian Blue (American duo). The other band with the same name has a page here. They are also a borderline case for passing WP:MUSIC under section 2 or 3, but I really don't know much about the band so I'm not sure. --Apyule 10:36, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Disambiguation is not a reason to have an article on a non-notable band. If necessary put a footnote in the other artcle to avoid confusion. There is no apparent dispute from the author that this band fails WP:NMG. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 08:11, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep, a they seem to meet WP:MUSIC. I'm not moved by the disambig argument; do I get an article and a dab notice if I make a garage band named ""Metallica"? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 08:21, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • If your "Metallica" becomes notable as well, I'd imagine so. Keep. --badlydrawnjeff 17:15, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Well if they were notable then they'd get a dab notice, for example the article on Nirvana (band) gives a notice of the infinitely more obscure 60s band called Nirvana. I was mostly commenting that this band survived a recent AfD though, more or less. I agree that disambiguation alone isn't a reason to keep. --W.marsh 16:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - just because I share a name with something does not mak me WP worthy Renata3 13:59, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
