Merge And redirect other articles. One article is better than three. One step at a time... ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:39, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

:*Why merge the albums if the band isn't notable either? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 21:56, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

::::::The band is notable. They're popular in Australia and tour with other notable bands. ChildofMidnight (talk) 22:32, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments Merging is really out of the question, a band that is notable should have their album articles seperate, if the band isn't notable - adding the albums to the band article isn't going to help. Okay, so Break Even have played with Rise Against[http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/news/local/6476/Rise-Against-support-acts-announced.htm], toured with Parkway Drive[http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=34839][http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/news/local/12618/Parkway-Drive-are-on-the-horizon.htm], Carpathian[http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/reviews/events/14591/Carpathian-Break-Even-The-Broderick-2282008--Amplifier.htm] and they're currently co-headlining an Australian tour alongside American band [http://www.myspace.com/ruiner Ruiner][http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=39333]. But i think the main thing that should avoid their deletion is the fact they have a debut album out early next year, bands of a similar size have in the past charted quite high on the AIR charts and made a name for themselves, sure you can say we should delete the article until that day comes, but i don't really see the point. I think the article just needs a nice clean up. k-i-a-c (hitmeup - the past) 02:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Delete. No claims that even if proved would satisfy WP:MUSIC. Bongo matic 03:25, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Delete, article fails to meet any of the 12 criteria of WP:MUSIC. If the band does get deleted, the albums will take care of them selves under speedy A9. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 20:55, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Delete. I don't see this band meeting any of the requirements of WP:MUSICBIO. WWGB (talk) 00:35, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
