Band (music)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

It is only a one-sentence dictionary definition and links to related topics. The previous somewhat longer definition was innaccurate because it limited the definition of band to specific music genres. Spylab 13:44, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary. -wizzard2k  ( C &#x2022;  T  &#x2022;  D ) 14:52, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Reads as a dictionary definition.  J o s h  16:01, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete See above. 99DBSIMLR 16:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to musical ensemble. "Band (music)" is an intuitive link/search term, and should be left as a redirect. Yechiel Man  18:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Agree with Delete and Redirect per above. -wizzard2k  ( C &#x2022;  T  &#x2022;  D ) 18:45, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Agree with redirect, and the individual links can be added to the Band disambiguation page. Dekimasu よ! 09:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy redirect. You're right, since band has a number of meanings, and there are many incoming links. &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 20:47, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is clealy a disambiguation and it does not need more text than one sentence. I proceed in changing it to disambiguation style. Please check and review your opinion (the arguments for all opinions written above are valid for an article, but do not correspond to a disambiguation).--FocalPoint 20:59, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * There already is a Band disambiguation page. I think this would qualify more as Disambiguation. Perhaps the entries here should be merged into Band? -wizzard2k  ( C &#x2022;  T  &#x2022;  D ) 22:01, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree that this is probably a "Set index article", even more than a disambiguation (never had an idea we had a name for this - well done wizzard2k!).--FocalPoint 13:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Musical ensemble appears to be a set index article. This should just redirect there. Dekimasu よ! 09:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - Fix this article. Jet123 (Talk) 22:11, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep: This is a valid set index article and is not subject to disambiguation anality (rules). ∞ΣɛÞ² (τ 11:11, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - it is a useful page for disambiguation and links to sub-articles. WWGB 14:48, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect - It is not disambiguation (all links are the same concept (namely musical ensembles)), it is not a set index article (not the same name either (see example on Disambiguation page)). Redirect seems the most appropriate. -Catneven 10:51, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per YechielMan. There is already a disambiguation page for Band; this term should go to an article about the concept. --Russ (talk) 15:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename: I believe that this is a valid list article and shouldn't be merged or redirected. It should follow the list article style. However, the title is confusing and makes people think it is a dab page: it should be something like List of musical band types. An existing similar article is List of mountain types. Musical ensemble is a full-fledged article and would be junked up if you merged this information into there. hike395 15:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * rename to List of musical band types seems to me appropriate. --FocalPoint 18:22, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe the best option indeed. I would opt for List of musical ensemble types in that case.-Catneven 19:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
