Airbag (Argentine band) → Airbag (band) – Airbag (Norwegian band) has been repeatedly deleted as non-notable, and no others are listed at Airbag (disambiguation). Nick Number (talk) 22:40, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

• Comment but there's a third band called Airbag es:Airbag (banda española) de:Airbag (spanische Band), a search in Spanish newspapers for example indicates that the Spanish band passes WP:GNG. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:17, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
• Support. Only band of this topic with an article, so "Argentine" is unnecessary per WP:CONCISE and WP:PRECISE.--Cúchullain ^t/c 14:50, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
• Support per pretty basic interpretation of our disambiguation policy. We can move it again if anyone ever bothers to write an en-wiki article about the other bands of the same name. Opening sentences in band articles almost always mention where the band is from, (Airbag is an Argentine hard rock band formed in 1999...) so I seen no reason for potential confusion.

• Support reversion of this recent (11 Jan) undiscussed move. Article was at Airbag (band) for over 2 years with no problems. Station1 (talk) 17:58, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

  Well we don't know that removing (Argentine) caused no problems for readers. The Spanish band (mentioned, oddly, in the en.wp astronaut Lisa Nowak article) appears as well known as the Argentine one, and its albums are listed higher on Amazon.es than the Argentine band's albums, also the two bands gets approximately equal hits in Spanish language news - one lot from Argentine sources, one lot from Spanish sources. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:30, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

  If an article about the Spanish band is ever written on English WP, those may be good reasons for disambiguating this article, but until then there is no need. Station1 (talk) 19:29, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

It would be a brave editor that would risk creating such an article. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:53, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Here's your brave editor... Actually, I created the draft as Draft:Airbag (Spanish band). I submitted request for review. --George Ho (talk) 06:46, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

For those wondering, it was declined. Sergecross73 msg me 19:47, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

I re-submitted a recently improved draft and am still awaiting the review. George Ho (talk) 20:16, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Airbag (band) → Airbag (Argentine band) – There's another band of the same name from Norway that is quite well-known in progressive rock circles and have charted in native Norway, Germany and Switzerland at least. It's also no longer reasonable to call the Norwegian band non-notable. Gezzas Man (talk) 14:09, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

• Comment Since Airbag (Norwegian band) was previously deleted, shouldn't the new article have gone through the Wikipedia:Articles for creation review process? 162 etc. (talk) 16:29, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

  Yes. It is now. Sorry, I'm a noob ;) Gezzas Man (talk) 20:00, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

• Perhaps wait to see if the other is notable? Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:28, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose until such a time another the article for a band with the same name exists. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 06:48, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
