A one-time performance is hardly notable. If there are no references, delete. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:13, 29 January 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep or Redirect to One (U2 song). Either way, deletion is not necessary and will inevitably result in it being recreated later. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:35, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak keep especially if someone can add some sources and as Koavf suggests, if deleted it is only likely to be recreated so let's see if it can be saved. ww2censor (talk) 17:34, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I was the first user to nominate this for deletion, and I still stand by my original proposal, especially as an editor or many U2 articles. While this does technically meet criterion 6 at WP:BAND, I don't feel that it is enough to establish notability because this entire's "band"'s existance lasted for literally less than 5 minutes, or the performance of one song.  – Dream out loud  (talk) 09:38, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to One (U2 song). Doesn't need its own article but will make a great subsection there. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 10:19, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge and redirect to One (U2 song). As per, subject is not strictly a "band" in own right, but a "label" applied to members of two other bands. For all of five minutes. Notwithstanding that, and I while I normally try to avoid straw-man type arguments, if this article covered any other band that sang one-song, once-ever, then it would've been deleted long ago. Doesn't need own article. Is at best a footnote/section in the One (U2 song) article. Guliolopez (talk) 01:31, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Per WP:BAND Criteria #6. AusLondonder (talk) 08:13, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to One (U2 song). hit the nail on the head from my perspective; for me to reiterate his argument wouldn't be a productive use of time or bandwidth. -  Julietdeltalima   (talk)  19:49, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
