Talk:The Beards (Australian band)

Merger proposal

I propose to merge in the article The Dairy Brothers, the original concept under which this group performed (and occasionally still does, perhaps). --Bistropha (talk) 06:30, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

I'd rather not do that, since the articles are about different bands with different concepts. But the dairy article could use a fancy info box. // IP 92.230.121.28 (talk) 20:57, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Agree with previous opinion - ie disagree with proposal. Different concepts - keep them separate. WeepingAngel63 (talk) 23:18, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

I expect The Dairy Brothers would not withstand a proposal for deletion due to insufficient notability. Thus the proposal to merge them into this article as a section. --Bistropha (talk) 04:51, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

February 2018 merge proposal

@Bistropha, 92.230.121.28, and WeepingAngel63: I'm renewing the call for a merge of The Dairy Brothers article into a subsection of The Beards. The former group's members all became founders of the latter, more well known, group. The former group has little independent content and despite performing in different genres the similarities of the two groups out-weighs those differences. I agree with Bistropha that, without this merger, The Dairy Brothers could become a candidate for deletion. According to one founder, "during uni we formed a band called The Dairy Brothers which ... slowly morphed into The Beards and that became our life for over a decade."here.–shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 09:35, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

While I agree the deletion possibility for The Dairy Brothers article might be a reason for merging, I'd still wait until it became a reality. Until then I'm still happy with them as separate articles. That said, I wouldn't be happy with a deletion proposal being made to force such a merger.

• Support. Based on the interview, it seems that The Dairy Brothers should be made part of the history of The Beards. Bistropha (talk) 06:14, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
• Support, I don't believe that there is sufficient information for a separate article on The Dairy Brothers that would meet the basic notability requirements. The information is better contained within a subsection of The Beards. Dan arndt (talk) 05:12, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
