Low Roar
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I can find mentions, but not significant coverage. Article has been around over a year with only the Facebook link. This would apply to the album articles as well:
 * 0 (album)
 * Low Roar (album)

In the facebook page the band states clearly that the members are: Ryan, Logi Guðmundsson, Leifur Björnsson, Andrew Scheps. I thought of adding the info, but it seems wierd to me we should do this mix - Audrye Sessions is a dead band which was active in California. Low Roar is an icelandic band with different musical style, and different members. The only common thing is their lead singer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fresh123456 (talk • contribs) 21:23, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge Low Roar to Audrye Sessions - only a mention of the second album really needs adding there. There were already two sources identified in the first AfD and I also found another piece of coverage, so WP:V can be satisfied but there isn't enough to justify a separate article yet. As the former lead singer of Audrye Sessions his subsequent work is obviously worthy of mention there. The album articles are useless and should be deleted. --Michig (talk) 21:17, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge. Michig said what I would have said. The album articles should be deleted. Binksternet (talk) 21:19, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

The thing is- merging is wrong because it gives us the wrong sense. The sense that there's nothing more to come from leader Ryan. In order to get this info you have to read the whole history section! In the info box the section : Years active says 2002–2010. You can find only one mention in the article. Furthermore merging the albums would be even worse - making you think the whole band made it when Low Roar is actually lead singer performing and some iclandic producers helping him. That's what Low Roar consists of. If you want to merge those two you'd have to make an article about Ryan only, including these projects which would be a bit confusing on albums. Also if you do that, why don't you just merge Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie? Right- because it's just wrong. The artist is pretty well known in his genre which is kind of linked to alternative ,mostly dream pop/folk and post-rock. Plus if his previous project deserves an article I think this one deserves it too. I'm adding more info soon, I just had something poping up. Fresh123456 (talk) 17:50, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
