Godspeed (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Aside from a brief AllMusic review of Ride and an even briefer AllMusic bio, I couldn't find evidence of notability. Maybe there are more sources out there that are just buried and difficult to find given the band's name being a tad generic, but I couldn't find anything paired with the band members' names either. The band was short-lived in their initial run and while they were apparently signed with Atlantic Records, they were in a genre which wasn't at its most popular at the time it released, so coverage may have only come from niche areas that aren't necessarily the most reliable.

 * Found a legitimate review (paywalled). Found this as well, am not familiar with the site. I would probably say merge to Solace (band), which already has a section named Godspeed. Geschichte (talk) 09:47, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete the band article and also Delete Ride (Godspeed album). I am not in favor of redirecting or merging to Solace (band) because they are two distinct bands with only one member in common. As for Godspeed, they got some early notice when they formed, but it was brief and fleeting. No evidence of their "high-profile" gigs opening for Black Sabbath and Dio can be found today, except for some very brief listings of their presence in some books about Black Sabbath trivia. Their release of a cover song is mentioned once in a while in the same fashion. Unfortunately, they just didn't make a big enough splash in either their own time or retrospectively, so there is little reliable info available to build an encyclopedic article. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:46, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Then why does the section Solace (band) exist? Geschichte (talk) 10:24, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Just because someone wrote two sentences, that doesn't mean jack for this discussion. It's fan trivia, and unsourced too. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:04, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Gonna have to agree with Doomsdayer regarding opposition to the merger. It would be undue to give a whole section of another band's article to this one. Even what is in that section probably shouldn't be there, or at least not in the way it's currently written. QuietHere (talk &#124; contributions) 00:17, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
