Not a notable band on its own. Unreferenced, little prospect for expansion of the article. Preferred action is redirect to notable band member Cozy Powell per WP:MUSICBIO#6, but it was reverted. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 16:58, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Delete - Not notable and is the smallest of stubs. --Teancum (talk) 17:02, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge And redirect. Not enough notability fot stand alone article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:17, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect as per WP:MUSIC should not have stand alone article, should be under Cozy Powell Theseeker4 (talk) 19:30, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable band with members from several other notable bands (e.g. Procol Harum, Long John Baldry's band), so Merge would be inappropriate. The allmusic bio is one source for expansion. There's also this at Rockdetector/Musicmight, this, this from the band's bassist Denny Ball. Looks like there was also an anthology and a live album released, and I didn't go beyond page 6 of Google results.--Michig (talk) 20:06, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Merge and Redirect to Cozy Powell. Denny Ball seems to be a minor member of Procol Harum and his minor(?) work with Long John Baldry does not appear to justify keeping this article. The allmusic link is a good start but the rest of the links shown here do not appear to be reliable independent sources. Duffbeerforme (talk) 14:11, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
