Xero (Linkin Park)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Various versions of this article have already existed - two were deleted and one was redirected to Linkin Park (at least), but someone keeps recreating it under different names. You can see that in the article's current title - the word "album" is missing because an article with that word in the title has already been redirected. The same has happened for several articles about the band Xero, which have also been deleted or redirected to who that band is now - Linkin Park. For this article, there are no sources to be found that confer notability on this demo album, and the article that keeps getting recreated is actually a shallow re-hash of the band's history during that time period, which is already discussed at the Linkin Park article. Recommend that everything related to Xero and this demo album be salted as well. D OOMSDAYER 520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:59, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Note - If you look at the article history it appears that I created it. I didn't, but just ended up as the first editor of THIS version of the article after a whole bunch of deletions, moves, and redirects. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 14:20, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - as noted above by nom, there was a cut and paste move from Xero (Linkin Park album) to this article  by 70.105.172.220. If this article is kept this needs to be fixed. Edgepedia (talk) 12:19, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Redirect I don't know if it's going to end or if someone is just going to keep recreating it, but we can at least have (yet) another redirect to Linkin Park. There's no reason for a band's previous name to have it's own article (other than rare occasions). Bkid My talk/Contribs 07:01, 5 May 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Comment - It looks like nobody else will vote on this one, but I strongly suggest that redirect is not the solution here, because such a thing has already been done multiple times, as discussed above. An admin should consider some stronger action to prevent these Xero articles from being recreated yet again. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 15:53, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
