[edit] The Weird Sisters (Harry Potter)

The Weird Sisters (Harry Potter) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable fictional band in Harry Potter series. Sole claim to outside notability was a publicity-seeking lawsuit by real band with a similar name. Band is uninteresting even within universe. Information on the page can be placed on various other Harry Potter pages. SolidPlaid 03:38, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. 'Delete but keep any verifiable and notable information on other, related pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamessugrono (talk • contribs) 03:51, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

• Hesitant Keep. I am not 100% sure as it is a borderline case. However, the band is mentioned in most of the Harry Potter books, and I think the lawsuit bumps it to a point where it can have its own article, as that makes it fairly notable. - Minute Lake 03:55, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep as there was some interest in the musicians who played the band in the movie, like Jarvis Cocker. It was this publicity that led to the lawsuit. --Dhartung | Talk 04:11, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Only because the lawsuit. i ^said 05:02, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Based on the lawsuit, and the lineup of musicians playing the band in the film. Maxamegalon2000 05:51, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete was going to suggest merging into Yule Ball, but that page is a redirect to a subsection, so I'll go with not enough importance there. The law suit is covered under Legal disputes over the Harry Potter series#Wyrd Sisters where it seems to belong. CitiCat ^♫ 05:54, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep or redirect to the legal disputes article. Either's fine. Will ^(talk) 10:14, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and move the law suit in the Legal Disputes article. Lord Opeth 19:54, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, because it concerns a subject from one of the most notable book/film series of the present and the law suit just increases its particular importance. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 15:35, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to Legal disputes over the Harry Potter series. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 02:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
• Merge - Merge anything useful into Legal Disputes article, delete the rest, and redirect. Judgesurreal777 02:54, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
