The band may be notable, but the website itself isn't.  Deserted Cities 04:45, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:WEB. Location (talk) 07:44, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete there does not appear to be significant coverage of this website; WP:WEB policy suggests that it is not yet sufficiently notable even though the band itself clearly is. Shanata (talk) 13:01, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per all above. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:34, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: The band is notable, but their website isn't. Joe Chill (talk) 15:11, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge The Entire Article To Coldplay. iGUI7ARH3R0KHRIZT0PH3R! + TalkklaT = I Will Be Your Car 15:55, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd say to go ahead and add any relevant stuff to the article. But you should discuss this on Talk:Coldplay before.  Deserted Cities 16:54, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Coldplay but not the entire article. Just some parts that are usefull like the history of the website.--Coldplay Expert (talk) 17:42, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect article to Coldplay, keeping the original history intact. Ikip (talk) 18:44, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * "Merge to Coldplay but not the entire article. Just some parts that are usefull like the history of the website." Coldplay Expert Said. While Merge-ing The Article, It's Enitire History Must Be Included. iGUI7ARH3R0KHRIZT0PH3R! + TalkklaT = I Will Be Your Car 01:02, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Striking out !vote as already given above. --JD554 (talk) 07:34, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails WP:WEB. Perhaps the only thing worth merging is the fact they gave away a free download, which is already mentioned in the band's article. --JD554 (talk) 07:33, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:WEB. The notable information, which as far as I can see includes the free download and the fact that 2000 Miles was the top download in 2003, is already available in the Coldplay article. --bonadea contributions talk 09:16, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as it fails WP:WEB. No coverage of specifically the website. Clearly the band is notable--but notability is not inherited. talking  birds  16:24, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Once Again, "Merge" to Coldplay but not the entire article. Just some parts that are usefull like the history of the website." Coldplay Expert Said.

 * CommentI honestly belive that almost everyone here that voted "Delete" is a Deletionist. Why not actually include some of this info on Wikipedia? At least one fact on this page is worth noteing.-- Coldplay   Expert  19:48, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * As a matter of fact, I think there are two notable facts on the page. As those are present in the article Coldplay, a merger seems to be superfluous. Please try to avoid speculating on other editors' motivations, instead focus on the facts and Wikipedia policies involved. In this case, the relevant policy concerns whether the website is sufficiently notable for its own article. If you think that it is notable, based on that policy, please show why and provide sources - and nobody will be sorry to see the article stay. Thank you! --bonadea contributions talk 20:43, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Im not speculating Im saying that it is my opinion that almost everyone here that voted "Delete" is a Deletionist. How is that A bad thing?-- Coldplay   Expert  21:18, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * According to the article you linked to, referring to people as deletionists (or inclusionists) can sidetrack debate. Deserted Cities 01:19, 14 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - Not notable to have its own article and definitely fails WP:WEB. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  02:03, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Look in not trying to sidetrack a debate, I too no not belive that this deserves an article but I do belive that something cam be taken out of this work.-- Coldplay   Expert  10:06, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Then by all means, put it in the Coldplay article. Not every new topic needs a new article. Y2kcrazyjoker4 (talk) 20:53, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Well I guess that your right, there isnt really anything worth noteing on any other coldplay article. (Well maybe you can add something about Roadie #42 on the Viva la Vida era.)-- Coldplay   Expert  22:54, 14 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per ThinkBlue. Clearly fails WP:WEB, nothing noteworthy about this band site. As far as I know, band/musician websites have basically never been notable enough for their own articles, and this one is no different. I also object to the merge option. I can't see much valuable or relevant content that could be merged into Coldplay; it's mostly cited to SPSs or wiki.coldplaying.com, and likely would cause the history section to become cluttered. Redirecting is possible, although deletion would be preferable unless easy recreation of the page can be prevented via protection. Jamie  S93  19:03, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete such poor sourcing, from a wiki or the actual site, and it clearly fails the guidelines. A brief mention about it on the band page makes sense. Darrenhusted (talk) 15:28, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
