 * Merge/redirect all to Motion City Soundtrack. No need for a deletion. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 19:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect all to Motion City Soundtrack. Individual notability not established.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 01:12, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep – there is no requirement for notability outside the area of one's notability. He's notable as a band-member of Motion City Soundtrack. Occuli (talk) 21:43, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Actually, there are: Both WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC say that band members who have done nothing notable outside of the band are not notable enough for an article. Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 02:33, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's odd - it certainly doesn't apply to politicians (is Obama notable outside politics?) or sportspeople, and is not being applied to musicians in a coherent fashion. One can always change these guidelines. In any case these people have been in other bands. Occuli (talk) 10:53, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * On further reflection I have no objection to the 3 articles being merged in their entirety into Motion City Soundtrack with a sub-heading each (under the heading Band members or some such), and the redirects (to the respective sub-heading) being categorised as they are now (see WP:CAT-R, subtopic section).

 * Redirect per WP:BEFORE. Neier (talk) 01:12, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Occuli. Tezkag72 (talk) 02:24, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Occuli. Though if you want the information to be merged into the MCS article, would you please post some pointers on its talk page, so i (because since i wrote the rest of it, i'll probably get stuck with this) know exactly what your intentions were/are. kiac (talk) 06:44, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
