Painface
I think this article doesn't pass WP:Music. They released two albums, but the label is not mentioned, so it is unclear whether or not it was a major label. No mention of awards, no mention of national tours. Only one member has an article. Band broke up in 2001. Probably could be included on single band member's entry. Either Delete or merge.

 * Merge or Redirect to Slipknot or Anders Colsefini. Had Colsefini been in Slipknot when they were commercially successful, this would have been a speedy keep under WP:MUSIC which states that a group qualifies if it "contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable". However, it goes on to say that"it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such". As Slipknot only became successful after the member in question had left, the latter part would seem to be correct. Please also note that there is (quite rightly) no requirement under WP:MUSIC for the two albums to be issued on a major label: the requirement is that the artist "has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)".

 * Keep - allow for expansion PT  ( s-s-s-s ) 21:19, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Anders Colsefini; no evidence of nontrivial coverage by reliable sources with which to expand anything. Melchoir 22:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
