Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Nirvana band members


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was delete. The information is already present in the article, so there's nothing to merge. If you want to change the format of the Nirvana_%28band%29 section, discuss it on Talk:Nirvana (band); don't create a fork article just to display the same information in a different format.

List of Nirvana band members

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Redundant content. Lists like this are notable for bands that had significant lineup changes throughout their history. Nirvana, however, did not. The changes are already covered in detail in Nirvana (band). -- ChrisB (talk) 03:18, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This info is covered by the template and the article's coverage of the band history.  J- ſtan TalkContribs 03:39, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete this is easily contained with a category. Lugnuts (talk) 08:28, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Leave or merge I've tried adding the information in a layout like this to the article, but it always gets rejected for the "space it takes up". I tried making a separate page for it to avoid that problem, but now that's being rejected too. It's a useful layout, probably the best way to show which drummers came before which and which line-ups were with who. It's too inconvenient to just have the drummers listed with the years they were in the band, it's too confusing to figure out which were when. This layout works fine in plenty of other articles, I don't see why there's a problem with it here, particularly in another article.
 * I'd also like to point out that there is a page for Def Leppard band members, and they've only had seven line-ups, less than Nirvana, and yet there's no one discussing deletion for that page!

 * The problem is that you refuse to listen to the opinions of other editors. The active editors of both Foo Fighters and Nirvana (band) have made it abundantly clear (ie, consensus) that they do not think a list of this type is useful in the article.  Your response was to create new articles for the explicit purpose of adding these lists to Wikipedia.  That's not how Wikipedia works. -- ChrisB (talk) 21:51, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as everything relevant can be kept (or is kept) in the band article. ~ | twsx | talkcont | 08:35, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete and recommend that the others he has made for other bands be deleted too! Everything can be covered in their main article(s)! Scar ian  Talk  09:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge (and thus keep) to parent article, this list is much more detailed and easy to interpret than what is mentioned in Nirvana. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) (talk) 09:24, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge Nirvana haven't had any significant line-up changes so it should be merged into Nirvana. Martin B (talk) 10:10, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge Like the Foo Fighters, Nirvana hasn't had frequent line-up changes (except for drummers, but they haven't had that many) In fact after 1991 the only addition was the 1993 inclusion of Pat Smear. This would be fine as a part of the Nirvana page itself. Doc Strange (talk) 16:09, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect without deleting. Notable, but short enough to be part of the main article, I think.  Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 19:36, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
