Merge Double Trouble (band) to this article edit
Should be a no-brainer. If not, feel free to discuss.RadioKAOS (talk) 17:11, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- I
wrote this article upexpanded the Double Trouble article as a separate unit because the band went on to have a history independently of Vaughan after his death, which is not mentioned in the (brand-new) SRV&DT article. I think rather the new article should be merged here, and its content (which is detailed and impressive) added to this article. Chubbles (talk) 22:18, 7 April 2012 (UTC)- Unless the other article can stand alone to discuss the band without Vaughan (which I doubt it can to such an extent to justify it as a sub-article), this is definitely a case of redundant articles. WP:COMMONNAME would indicate this to be the proper title.RadioKAOS (talk) 05:34, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
- They had a charting album in 2001, well after Vaughan's death; this article doesn't even mention it. Frankly, while this article is detailed and well-sourced, it could itself be merged into the Stevie Ray Vaughan article quite easily, in terms of content. The common name of the band is Double Trouble; I don't really see a WP:COMMONNAME issue there. I certainly don't want to throw out the hard work of the creator of this article, but I think he did his work in the wrong place; I'd be happy to just plop his writeup into the existing article and redirect this one there.

- I went ahead and added the content from this page into the DT article, so it should now include the best of both worlds. Chubbles (talk) 17:13, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
