Powerhouse (rock band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A group that seems to fail WP:BAND. One trivial album, only active for two years. Most of the vocalists don't even have pages.  D u s t i *Let's talk!* 03:25, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Merge to Geordie (band). Three of the four members were in the final lineup of Geordie, and Martin C. Strong in The Great Metal Discography has this as a footnote to the Geordie entry: "...the group releasing one more self-titled album under the POWERHOUSE moniker". --Michig (talk) 06:58, 22 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Include *** Rubbish.. It was a new sound and included the addition of Brian Metcalf from the band Hollow Ground ... This was Geordie's last album ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Sweat_(Geordie_album) So... what's wrong with documenting the Powerhouse band and history... Additionally, if you merge Powerhouse into Geordie your going to piss off the Geordie fans. John kirk (talk) 08:58, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Nothing wrong with documenting the Powerhouse band and history, but there isn't enough to justify a separate article. If this being mentioned in the Geordie article pisses off the Geordie fans, well, tough. --Michig (talk) 09:05, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

OK... I'll get busy and add Powerhouse as Geordies last album then ?????? fine..John kirk (talk) 09:26, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

"Most of the voalists don't even have pages." This is a really odd choice of words.... what sort of voalist pages would you expect to see ?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by John kirk (talk • contribs) 09:01, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep despite 's strawman argument per WP:MUSICBIO criterion #6a.-- Laun  chba  ller  09:10, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I really don't get the 'voalist' thing .... If we may be talking about a single 'vocalist' I could understand. Sounds like the status of delete was applied during a moment of induced uncertainty. John kirk (talk) 09:16, 22 August 2013 (UTC)


 * 'Keep As per request above/merge... Powerhouse identified as a re-brand of the band Geordie, as such, this would be their final album together... So... Geordie Albums section corrected to reflect this revelation... As all Geordie albums have their own page, so then should this entry.. A entry which, as it stands as now, is concise and encyclopaedic as are the other Geordie Album entries. John kirk (talk) 09:36, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge to Geordie (band), as Michig suggests. There isn't enough information available to warrant a standalone article. — sparklism hey! 10:33, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Merge Merge Keep Merge .... It has been done. But in order for the merge to make sense (as the Geordie entry has now been edited) this page has to stay (or be renamed to 'Powerhouse Band and Album formally Geordie' or something similar as it has been highlighted as Geordie album... You can't just deny its existence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by John kirk (talk • contribs) 10:51, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Geordie. Adequately covered there. And it's the same band under a different name according to allmusic and the source Michig uses. As a separate unit powerhouse does not pass WP:music 6 as none of the members are independently notable. duffbeerforme (talk) 23:52, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
