The Flying Padovanis

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

There's a multitude of issues here, so let's unpack the suitcase.

No sources, tagged in 2020 but likely none since article creation. The official website is to a MySpace link. (makes me feel like I warped back to the mid-aughts)

They're real, sure, I found coverage of them on this blog for example: http://sonsofthedolls.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-flying-padovanis-they-call-them.html

This set lineup: https://www.uksubstimeandmatter.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19500:26-february-2017&catid=1375&Itemid=156

And the BFI: https://www2.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b9177320f

But nothing indicates notability from what I can tell, just passing mentions and unreliable sources. Let's just throw this out. wizzito &#124;  say hello!  04:26, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Merge to Henri Padovani - Despite having individual members who are noted and have their own pages (eg Glen Matlock from the Pistols)...and despsite the fact the band has been going for decades and has had world tours, and released albums..... there is Minimal RS to establish notability for the actual band. I ran some searches and could only find list of the discographys, nothing to establish actual notability. Deathlibrarian (talk) 08:26, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Couldn't find significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability of the band. Just some links about discography.Brayan ocaner (talk) 09:58, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge into Henri Padovani. There's no reason we'd want a redlink here - the content is encyclopedic with respect to Padovani and directing users there for information is a much better solution. "Let's just throw this out" is one of the worst rationales I've ever seen advanced at an AfD; see WP:AADD. Chubbles (talk) 12:23, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * the "let's throw this out" comment was meant as a joke, in fact, I support merging. wizzito  &#124;  say hello!  22:22, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * If that is the case, we can speedy close this as a merge, as the nom is in favor of it. Chubbles (talk) 00:12, 19 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge/Redirect to Henri Padovani. Actually there is very little to merge because the band is already described at Padovani's page. The merge wouldn't take too much effort. The band has not received enough notice in its own right to merit a separate article. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 18:50, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
