The result was no consensus. I see three options: delete, merge, or keep. Without any substantial discussion, I see no other outcome than 'no consensus'. A merge discussion can continue at the appropriate talk page. (non-admin closure) Mz7 (talk) 18:47, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Non-notable Band. I can find very little about them in reliable sources. Almost everything is primary promotional sources. Their main claim to notability seems to that they released a non-charting album on Epic, and they opened for a few notable acts. Their all music bio is mostly about their producer and other famous people he worked with. Ridernyc (talk) 20:27, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

- Keep. Orchestra Luna was a controversial and arguably influential entity in the pre-internet world, and it would be unfortunate if we allowed this content to be removed. It's hard to produce on-line sources, but Allmusic has a substantial writeup for their one album [http://www.allmusic.com/album/orchestra-luna-mw0000758864] (I disagree with the nominator's characterization of this article); and here's a substantial (and critical) 1975 piece in the Village Voice. [http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=69NHAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Q4wDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6038%2C2894929] As recounted in a 1994 Voice article, Glenn Branca credited Orchestra Luna as the true inspiration for Talking Heads.
