Chain Reaction (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not a significant band. Article does not indicate any album releases, and isn't even the prequel to the Red Hot Chili Peppes. This band became another band which became another band which became the Chili Peppers. If anything at all, this article should be merged into the Chili Peppers article if it isn't included sufficiently already. MobileSnail 01:25, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. I suppose one could point out the subject technically meets criterion 6 of WP:BAND, but my !vote is to delete based on the following four steps. (1) This group is essentially the junior high school version of the band who changed its name in high school and then again to What Is This? (2) Coverage for the band's Chain Reaction era appears to be fairly limited - these were the best I came across. (3) Chain Reaction is already named in the articles for Hillel Slovak, Jack Irons, Alain Johannes and What Is This? (I added mentions to the latter two), and there's not really any additional information to merge from this article as it's currently written. (4) There are multiple bands named Chain Reaction, so a redirect is not my favorite solution here, either. I would move Chain Reaction (band 1960s) to Chain Reaction (band) with a hatnote directing readers interested in this band to the What Is This? article.  Gongshow  Talk 06:58, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
