The result was keep. Technically the other article has not been nominated for deletion or merging and there has been no notice provided to interested editors who might watch that page but not this one. Therefore, I will not impose merger or redirection of the other article as a result of this discussion. However, it seems clear which way the wind is blowing in this discussion, so I would hope editors could move forward on a merge in good faith. RL0919 (talk) 20:42, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete: As above. The 'other' article is better presented and referenced. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 16:46, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect or Merge, as a reasonable search term. Chris857 (talk) 16:55, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I was going to suggest redirect to the bands page until I saw how surprisingly extensive the list is, so it does deserve to serve as a fork, but...yeah, this is a Dup. One has to go, and the other one is better. ShelbyMarion (talk) 18:34, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- struck and changed to merge. Subsequent voters make good points. Consolidate best parts of the new page with the original one. ShelbyMarion (talk) 21:36, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It's the other page which is the redundant fork as it's more recent. The nominated page has seniority and the better title and so the other page should be merged into it. Note also that the nominator created the newer page and so has a vested interest. Andrew D. (talk) 06:39, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - The previous voter has a valid point. The nominator in this AfD either accidentally or purposefully created the new article List of Canned Heat band members which duplicated the older and more established List of Canned Heat members, and is now calling for the original to be deleted in favor of his own new article. This seems fishy to me. Why not improve the original? It is true that the older article needs better citations, but that is a reason to improve it. The two should be merged together in the Wikipedia spirit of collaboration and good faith, at least. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 17:03, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Consolidate both articles' content into this one as it was created first and has a better title. Then redirect the other article here. --Michig (talk) 17:11, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
