The result was delete. The stub for Dean Taylor (musician) already contains a senstence about this, I'm not really sure what other content would be worth merging, especially with the lack of sources. Mr.Z-man 06:40, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Unsourced unnotable band (ghits seem to refer to another band) that fails WP:MUSIC. -- Brewcrewer 03:33, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: Per the nom, and MUSIC guidelines. - Rjd0060 04:26, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Wasn't this already addressed? It was already found that this article refers to a band containing a notable musician. This article is about Dean Taylor's current project. How is that unnotable? This article refers to the american band and the american band is listed on the same page.]) -- User:Dilbert2002 03:33, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

• Comment I'm not familiar enough with music articles to put a delete or not here, but I would simply note that the above concern seems invalid to me; if the band contains a notable musician the band article should be on merged and redirected to that artist's article, not inherit notability of its own.

To clarify, this addresses the question /comment by Dilbert2002- I did not want to put it up there as there has been a division based on the listing. Epthorn (talk) 18:18, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep or merge. Given Dean Taylor's involvement, the article qualifies under WP:MUSIC criterion #6. However, with little of substance in the article, it would seem better to import it into Taylor's article. Bondegezou (talk) 15:15, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
