Basic Radio

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unref and tagged for notability for 5 years. Seems to be a band with notable members, but not a notable band. Perhaps info could be merged into both Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman's articles, but as it's all unreferenced, I wouldn't suggest that. Boleyn (talk) 10:29, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge to Operation Ivy where it is already mentioned. I think this could be covered there as Armstrong and Freeman's previous band. --Michig (talk) 11:39, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Operation_Ivy_(band) - This is far before social networking existed and I believe if the band had existed now, there would've probably been more information (a defunct official website, fansites, etc.). However, because there isn't any evidence to suggest this band released any music or toured and collaborated with other notable bands, there isn't much for this article. In addition, Google News found nothing despite multiple searches, which is not surprising. SwisterTwister   talk  02:20, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * For what it's worth, a previous deletion discussion in 2006 had a "keep" result. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 03:21, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Standards for articles have changed since then and for good reasons. One of the voters said "Keep it for awhile and if nothing changes bring it back here" and things have not changed and substantial sources have not been added since. Although one user did add one primary reference in August 2010. SwisterTwister   talk  04:04, 30 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Redirect – My searches also turned up nothing that would help support or expand this separate article. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 03:24, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Operation Ivy as suggested above. --Lockley (talk) 06:46, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
