The result was No consensus. Please note that it is always helpful when renominating a previously nominated article to explain what new issues should be considered that weren't previously.

One concert. This was not a band, but a one time collaboration! Not notable. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 12:56, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. -- Tenacious D Fan (talk) 12:57, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Per the previous AFD, this article met WP:MUSIC guideline 6: "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable". Since the four members were members of two bands each notable on their own, and all four members of this band are notable in their own right, a collaboration, even a small one like this, would have notability per that guideline.

- Delete a one time gathering is not an indication of being a band. This group has not released any material other than the recordings of the one time gathering. Note 6 on the WP:MUSIC guidelines says that a redirect may be more appropriate and that we should use common sense in applying it. Common sense says a few people that played in a concert and never again were probably not a band. AlbinoFerret (talk) 16:07, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to One (U2 song). "...it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects" This is clearly a side project for all involved. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 18:25, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep on the grounds that it passed AFD with a keep decision less than two months ago. Articles must not be repeatedly nominated in such a short period of time once they've survived an AFD challenge. 23skidoo (talk) 01:16, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Yes, it was nominated recently. However, the prior discussion did not examine any possibility that "...it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects", a reason that was "not adequately addressed in the previous deletion discussion". - Mdsummermsw (talk) 13:31, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
