Fails WP:MUSBIO. Also look to be some WP:COPYVIO issues. PRODded a few months ago. Article creator dePRODded on the basis of being on iTunes and notable members. We do have an article about Chris Rest, but notability is not inherited. It looks like the most logical outcome is a delete/redirect to Rich Kids on LSD, which shares band members and already mentions The Other. There are not sufficient reliable secondary sources for a stand-alone article, though. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 22:01, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as I found nothing good and the name is no help even with adding "punk band San Francisco". Rhododendrities Considering this was PRODDed in May, what made you nominate it now? (I'm assuming you were watching it and you found it again) SwisterTwister talk 04:57, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• I just went through my PROD log yesterday and decided to follow up on a few. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 13:05, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge I'd be ok combining with RKL (although RKL and The Other are two completely different bands) as long as the information was not lost (i.e. merge the content) and then redirect "The Other" to that section of the RKL wiki. Pacohaas (talk) 18:36, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• @Pacohaas: Since you expressed that you aren't familiar with this process, I'll just drop a quick note to suggest adding the word "Merge" in bold text to the beginning of your comment above (like SwisterTwister did with "Delete"). Just a convention to succinctly communicate a proposed outcome to precede more substantial arguments/explanations. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 20:08, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Rich Kids on LSD, and merge any content where appropriate from the page history. This group does not appear to have independent notability -- I couldn't find significant coverage in reliable sources. Jujutacular (talk) 03:14, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
