Hey, I was just wondering if you could explain what you mean in this comment? Am I missing something? I thought as they are related and nominated for the same reason that they could be combined. Cheers Nouse4aname (talk) 10:14, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

They shouldn't be combined for at least a couple of reasons.

1. Combining nominations can make it hard to identify consensus. What if some people think that two articles are basically hopeless for the same reason, and others don't? Then the closer will have to try to untangle who means to say that both should go, who means to say that both should stay, who means that the first should go and the second should stay, and who means that the first should stay and the second should go. People often write without thinking about how their words could be misinterpretted, so this could lead to many problems.
2. Wikipedia has a policy WP:WAX. The case for each article really isn't supposed to be made based on the idea that a similar article got a particular sort of treatment. I guess that there is a fear of foolishness being applied consistently. —the Ghost of Adrian Mineha! _{hold seance} at 10:28, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. I understand your concerns, however I felt that as per examples given at Template:AfD footer (multiple), that the two articles could be combined. Also, considering the band article was deleted for failing notability guidelines, I thought there was little (or no) chance of the EPs reaching required notability. I'll see what other comments come along, and possibly separate them out later. Cheers. Nouse4aname (talk) 10:33, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, I think that you are correctly interpreting the intended function of those templates, but that the existence and use of those templates is a bad idea for the reasons given above. —the Ghost of Adrian Mineha! _{hold seance} at 10:38, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Ha! Yeah, I guess you're right! I'll keep an eye out and see if it's worth separating them out or not. If the article for the band still existed I probably would have done them separate. Have a good day. Nouse4aname (talk) 10:43, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
