Redundant to the individual albums' articles and unsourced. It's worth mentioning in Brian Eno and David Bowie, certainly, but there's nothing to split apart. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:50, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to David Bowie. I was disappointed to see the poor quality of the Berlin Trilogy article, given that the term so frequently describes Bowie's landmark Low, "Heroes", and Lodger albums (hence why I don't support outright deletion here). But then I clicked over to Bowie's main page, read the "1976–79: the Berlin era" section, and realized that improving and expanding the trilogy article would only make it more and more identical to the well-sourced, comprehensive section that already exists in the Bowie article. And so because of that redundancy, I'm in favor of a redirect.  Gongshow  Talk 02:17, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect or Keep -- I don't have a terribly strong feeling on this one, but I certainly agree with Gongshow that it shouldn't simply be deleted; it's a common enough term relating to Bowie's history to deserve at least a redirect, which may well be the best option, since the Bowie article is in much better shape now (FA in fact) than when the Berlin Trilogy article was mainly written.

 * Redirect for reasons above - DavidWBrooks (talk) 19:58, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Response to the redirects This probably is a better option, but unfortunately, if I just redirected it, then someone could revert and go back and forth pointlessly. If it goes to AfD first and there's a consensus to redirect, it can't be reverted over and over again without at least appealing to the fact that other users want this redirected. Redirecting is probably the best option. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:41, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
