Talk:Inkakai

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of notability because I was not the one who created this page. This page was already up, I just began updating it. The band Fireal has posted to their street team that they would like fans to help edit the page and keep it up to date so that is what I was doing. &mdash; Angelrogue (talk) 02:26, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Merge proposal
Merge proposal moved from AfD: "The primary issue with this article is that there is a separate article for the same band because they changed their name to Fireal. I think these articles should be merged. They are featured on the theme song of the film Jadesoturi, and the track received an NRJ Radio Award for Best Nordic Song in 2007, but finding sources that cover this track or anything else for the band is difficult (be aware when searching that several other bands use the name Bleak).

 * Appreciate this getting moved to the proper venue. To clarify, I don't see why one band should have two pages. If they changed their name again, would they get three? It seems to make more sense to merge the articles, and leave Bleak (band) on the Bleak disambiguation page as a redirect to Fireal. Skeletor3000 (talk) 16:16, 21 November 2019 (UTC)


 * I've gone ahead with the merge. Skeletor3000 (talk) 17:16, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Requested move 23 September 2021

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 

The result of the move request was: Procedural close. Userified by per Special:Permalink/1048722473 in the wake of Articles for deletion/Fireal. Until the draft is ready for mainspace, discussions about article title are premature. (non-admin closure) Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 17:04, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Fireal → Inkakai – Someone reports that Fireal has been renamed to Inkakai and provides a bunch of sources. 64.203.186.82 (talk) 19:41, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

 * No comment. I just asked here because it didn't belong at WP:AFC/R.  64.203.186.82 (talk) 13:39, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * One of the cited sources seems to refer to Inkakai as a new band with overlapping members: La banda es anónima, se desconocen los nombres de los integrantes pero varios de ellos proceden de su anterior grupo Fireal (emphasis added; tr. "their previous group, Fireal"). Are we sure this shouldn't be a new article? -- Tamzin  [cetacean needed] (she/they) 19:53, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The Spanish text means "The band is anonymous, the names of the members are unknown but several of them come from their previous group Fireal ". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:31, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * This was posted in Fireal Facebook today: "Fireal officially merges with Inkakai 🔥 Follow us: facebook.com/inkakaiofficial" and in Fireal YouTube: "Fireal continues now with a new name: INKAKAI " clearly stating they are now Inkakai, although both were originally two separate bands. This merging is very fresh, therefore it is not found in the interviews and their website doesn't have any written content at the moment. All the Fireal social medias have changed their names to "Inkakai" except Facebook that doesn't allow name changes to something completely different. It is quite clear Fireal is now Inkakai and the page should redirect to a new page called Inkakai but with the same content and not the other way around as it is now (Inkakai redirects to Fireal).

Requested move 23 September 2021: continuation of discussion
TheInkakaiRises As I've pointed out, there is no reason for the Inkakai page to redirect to Fireal as Fireal has changed their name to Inkakai. If the band themselves have announced in all of their official pages that their name has changed to Inkakai, what "more reliable" source should there be?


 * Except the text you quote says its not a rename but a merge they are two different things. (note that this article is now at afd so this move discussion is moot until the afd is closed) Lavalizard101 (talk) 16:07, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
