The result was Redrect to Dispatch (band) The nominator assertion that subject lacks references to establish notability has not been rebutted by any arguments in the debate below. Criterion 6 of WP:MUSIC justifies a redirect, content may be merged in the future if good sources can be found. As it stands, at merge at present would only clutter up the destination article with unsourced materials.--PeaceNT (talk) 13:53, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Hermit Thrush (band)

Fails to establish any notability. No references and google search doesn't return any mainstream coverage from reliable sources. Wisdom89 (talk) 05:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC) 
 * Comment The band's two members seem to be somewhat notable, and one of them is also a member of Dispatch. Given that this appears to be an early and short-lived band in the career of its members, I would suggest a merge, but I'm not sure of where it could merge to.

 * The band's music was very different than the music played in Dispatch, and I believe it is necessary to keep them separate, as there is recorded material widely available on the internet as well as recordings of live shows. If the style was more similar to the style played in Dispatch, I would agree with a merge, however it was much different, so I believe merging it would not be the best option. 666Fox (talk) 05:38, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge with Dispatch (band). WP:MUSIC states that band which contain "at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable" are notable, but goes on to note that "it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such."  Given that this band seems to be a temporary gig and is only significant in light of the fact that both members went on to play in Dispatch, the information should be included there unless it outgrows the article.  The stylistic differences between the bands, while objectively interesting, does not mean that information on both can't be included in one place--I would actually argue that it adds more to the target article by illustrating Dispatch's influences. -- jonny - m  t  06:40, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Some current fans of Dispatch actually found Dispatch through Hermit Thrush and Hermit Thrush recordings are still available for download online, and therefore HT is still a viable band for an article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.239.177.169 (talk • contribs)

 * Keep, would appear to meet criteria #6 of WP:MUSIC. Lankiveil (complaints 06:22, 9 February 2008 (UTC).
 * Under criteria 6 it would be appropriate to create a redirect. Wisdom89 (talk) 06:34, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete no sources. Fails WP:V and WP:N, so WP:MUSIC criterion 6 is irrelevant. Blast Ulna (talk) 12:24, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
