This article cites no sources. It has been suggested that this article be merged with Greg Ginn however, that page contains no information on the pseudonym Dale Nixon, and cites no sources pertaining to Dale Nixon. If there are more sources and reliable information related to Dale Nixon, I contend that it be added in future to the Greg Ginn article and the Dale Nixon article be deleted.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep ; while I agree that this is currently an unsourced stub, this is extremely sourceable. There's definitely decent coverage of its use by Greg Ginn in the book "Spray Paint the Walls: The Story of Black Flag"; which I do have a copy of somewhere and will look into in future. There's also some decent mentions in other rock history books on Google Books. A lot of those (including "Rough Guide to Nirvana") also provide some info on Dave Grohl's use of the name in the Melvins release in 1992, and passing mentions of Brian Baker's use of it too. I think it's reasonable to maintain a separate article for navigation purposes given there's verifiable sources showing its use by multiple artists; Greg Ginn's article is already rather bloated with all the side projects he's been involved with. ~ mazca  talk 15:54, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Greg Ginn, I had a look at the book mentioned above and there was less coverage of his use of the name than I recalled. The name's discussed in passing in several reliable sources to the point that I could make a notability argument, but there just isn't actually enough information in any of them to make a standalone article worthwhile. ~ mazca  talk 12:00, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Perhaps a Merge with Multiple-use name? It's a little more fitting if this name has been used by many people. AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 00:01, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge Fails WP:GNG on its own. I think a Redirect/merge with Greg Ginn is the best bet here. KidAd (talk) 21:03, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Greg Ginn: The mentioned artist has used the alias more than the others. It's best for that to be discussed in the targeted article. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 04:39, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
