 * Delete as a standalone article because as the first nomination (over 6 years ago) said, it's a glorified jam session. However merge what exists of it into an article about the subsequent tour. On that note, I'm surprised there's no tour article (or I can't find it) since it seems like it would have been a major one, compared to the plethora of tours for bands of much less notability.

 * Comment: "Merge and delete" is not a valid option due to Wikipedia's licensing requirements. If content is merged, the original article must be kept as a redirect for content attribution. - The Bushranger One ping only 20:08, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:MUSIC, specifically criterion 6, which says that notability may be established if the article's suject "[i]s an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians." That's not concrete, but for me, "may be" changes to "is" if the jam session involves musicians as notable as these guys. And the nomination statement's claim of "one event" may be incorrect; while there's no source, the article states the group has performed twice.  City O f Silver  20:19, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I added a source, although it reads like that source could be sourced to Wikipedia. A quick Google indicates this might be a hoax, since I can't find a single source better than the one I just added. I might switch to delete as a hoax if there aren't better sources.

 * Delete or merge to one of the members. Sourcing is necessary, not optional. Stuartyeates (talk) 04:24, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
