The result was   merge and redirect to My Chemical Romance. This issue should have been discussed on the talk pages of the articles as this really isn't the place for a merge/redirect discussion. While this can be the result of a deletion discussion, initiating a deletion discussion with the intent of discussing a merger and redirect is inappropriate. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 07:36, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Three musicians that are part of a notable band, but have no individual notability as per WP:MUSIC. Redirect at each page is persistently contested and redirected. Using AfD to get consensus and formal approval for the redirects. Nouse4aname (talk) 08:55, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Other musicians:

Adding former drummer, has no other notability claims other than previous having played with the band.


 * Merge/REdirect Both fail WP:MUSIC. I don't see this as particularly controversial merge, very similar to many others. Only one editor is edit warring over it and has not respond to any of the discussions. I think a proposed merge would have been better than an afd. -- neon white talk 10:01, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. True, but I find an AfD generates more discussion, whereas proposed merge templates just sit around for months with no formal decision. At least this way we get a formal record of the decision in case this user continues to revert. Nouse4aname (talk) 10:10, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Very true, it would be nice if proposed merges generated some sort of contribution but often they do not. -- neon white talk 13:13, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge/redirect to My Chemical Romance. None of the three is notable outside of the group. — Hello, Control Hello, Tony  20:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: AFD is for deletion discussions. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 23:04, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The result of an AfD is often to redirect the page instead of deleting, which is what is proposed here. If more people contributed to proposed merger discussion, then I would take it there...Nouse4aname (talk) 07:35, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
