Very short music article created in 2007, no real substantial coverage, all searches come up with topics related to Red Bull and not this band. Only sources are agent's page and MySpace. KaisaL (talk) 14:13, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

- Comment: not sure about this one... the Bhundu Boys are certainly notable, and any Brits listening to late-night radio during the 1980s will know the group were huge favourites of BBC Radio 1 DJs Andy Kershaw and John Peel and got plenty of airplay. But I can't say this follow-up band are anywhere near as noteworthy... possibly a merge to Bhundu Boys and a sentence in that article to say the two band members formed Culture Clash after the original group broke up may be the best option.

::A merge seems like a good option, I would think. KaisaL (talk) 19:07, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. A collaboration between a notable solo musician and the singer/guitarist of the clearly notable Bhundu Boys. It should be obvious that this should be included somewhere, so at worst it should merge to one of the members. Coverage exists: [https://www.theguardian.com/music/2006/sep/17/worldmusic], [http://nehandaradio.com/2014/08/14/rise-kagona-leader-of-the-pack-before-bhundu-boys-part-4/]. --Michig (talk) 11:33, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
::I fear that this supports that they don't justify an article on their own - per WP:NMUSIC bands aren't inherently notable because they contain members of other noteworthy bands. I'm all for improving access to information on bands, but the coverage you've linked to is primarily about Bhundu Boys, not Culture Clash. I think a merge is the best option here, especially if the the extent of this band's coverage is mentions in coverage of their members. KaisaL (talk) 19:07, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
:::In which case you are free to withdraw the nomination and propose a merge on the article's talk page. --Michig (talk) 16:57, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

- Redirect. Not a notable group. No indication of any releases or third-party sources. Karst (talk) 08:31, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

- Weak keep -According to WP:BAND, an ensemble is considered notable if it contains two or more independently notable musicians. This band seems to be made up of a couple members from Bhundu Boys. Burroughs'10 (talk) 19:30, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
