The result was redirect to The Feelers / Zed (band). Whilst a Merge would be technically correct that is likely to leave unsourced or practically unsourced BLPs lying about until someone familiar with the material merges them, thus redirecting to preserve the edit history so that they can be merged without this problem.

This person is not notable on his own, any information here could easily be included in the pages for The Feelers. Nik thestoned 10:52, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reasoning:

Comment - Looks like an obvious merge into The Feelers indeed. MakeSense64 (talk) 13:22, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - (Nikthestoned invited me to comment again after adding two more names of similar artists) - Andy Lynch seems to have somewhat better credentials, as he seems to have been active in several other notable bands, and perhaps a source for the "award-winning" can be found.. MakeSense64 (talk) 14:57, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wish he hadn't, MakeSense64, since it's now in danger of becoming a bit of a trainwreck. I'd suggest upmerging the one for the Zed musician, but not the two for the Feelers musicians, who are probably notable enough to stand alone. Grutness...wha? 01:40, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I felt it appropriate! Can you provide your reasoning for why Hamish and James stand up on their own? From the pages as they exist now I can see no reasoning, unlike the one you have suggested merging... Thanks, Nik thestoned 11:33, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment ~~I'm leaning towards keep,~~ the radio ad that's currently running calls them New Zealand's most successful recording act. I forget what the actual ad was for. They have a new album out soon? Stuartyeates (talk) 21:01, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:04, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to respective bands I've had a further look and I'm failing to find stuff about these guys that isn't mainly about the band they're famous for being part of. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:52, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nothing here substantiates a claim of individual notability, and I doubt anything here is sufficiently encyclopedic to justify merging to The Feelers. Richwales (talk · contribs) 02:30, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
