The Rain (Manchester band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NBANDS. The notability of the band relies on being an earlier project of what would become Oasis (band). The article has relied on one source for 6 years, and has been discussed to be merged since 2014. Some material is already at Oasis. A title like "The Rain (Manchester band)" as redirect is unlikely to be helpful neither, as solely Oasis's experts will recognize it. ©  Tb hotch ™ (en-2.5). 16:24, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is basically the same band as Oasis, just an earlier name they used. It was always ridiculous to have a separate article just for this name. Now it has been moved, I agree that the current title would be useless as a redirect. The entry at the disambiguation page The Rain should remain but link to the Oasis (band) page. --Michig (talk) 18:46, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as still questionable for its own article. SwisterTwister   talk  06:58, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
