Kublai Khan (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely unsourced article about a band with no substantive claim of notability that passes WP:NMUSIC. Note that "defunct band which had a member who went on to attain notability with a different band later on" is not one of the NMUSIC criteria — and even if it were, it still wouldn't entitle a band to keep an unsourced article, as it's not the assertion of passing NMUSIC that gets a band past NMUSIC, but the quality of the sourcing that can be provided to verify the assertion. As well, it warrants mention that the article was recently hijacked to write about a different band, which also didn't make any substantive claim of passing NMUSIC as written. Neither band is entitled to keep an unsourced article on Wikipedia, so this needs to be deleted if the sourcing can't be beefed up. Redirection to Greg Handevidt might also be acceptable, but his article is poorly sourced enough — answers.com is most certainly not a reliable source — to be dancing on the edge of deletability too.

 * Merge and Rediredt to Greg Handevidt. There is at least an Allmusic bio that can be used to source some of this. --Michig (talk) 07:21, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Except I'm not sure Greg Handevidt is himself notable, except possibly by playing in 2 notable bands, which he didn't if Kublai Khan isn't notable. And he was only in Megadeth briefly and isn't described in detail in that article so merging there may be disproportionate. Colapeninsula (talk) 15:02, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete' - I agree with Colapeninsula that Greg Handevidt is pretty much a footnote in the history of Megadeth. -- Whpq (talk) 17:21, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
