I don't see any evidence of passing WP:NMUSIC for this split record; I can't find any independent full-length reviews, evidence of chart performance or anything else that would indicate a notability pass. Normally we'd redirect to the band's page or a discography page, but since two separate notable bands released songs on this split record I'm not sure how to handle that. Regardless, it doesn't appear to meet notability requirements for a standalone page. enwiki contributor 13:52, 10 September 2026 (UTC)

Keep The article has been substantially improved since its nomination. The most important change is the addition of a detailed contemporary review of the split single published in Maximum Rocknroll. Therefore, independent, reliable coverage of the release is now available. The current version also documents the specific history of the release's creation, Duane Peters' involvement, and an independent mention in the Czech music magazine Kids & Heroes. Songs from the single received international radio airplay more than ten years after its release [1][2]. As this is an underground punk release from 2004, much contemporary coverage is likely to have appeared in small print zines and specialist publications that are poorly digitized or not searchable today. The lack of other easily accessible, detailed reviews does not therefore necessarily mean that no further independent coverage exists. Nevertheless, the criterion for substantial coverage in an independent, reliable source, as defined in WP:NMUSIC, is now met, and I think Keep is the appropriate outcome while further sourcing can still be sought. ◉enwiki contributor◉ 03:55, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
Delete. Three sentences in MRR is not enough ("The BRIGGS bring that street punk with SoCal undercurrents that Disaster records is so famous for—picture lots of sing-alongs with one tall boy raised in hand at their shows. The KINGS OF NOTHIN’ have that swing punk thing going, but picture more swallow tattoos than zoot suits. Not bad, but I don’t see myself going out to purchase it.") and the subject spectacularly fails WP:PAGEDECIDE. The rest of the article is just padding with bad sourcing. Furthermore it has an air (as does the above reply) of LLM usage. No redirect since there is no clear target, but the MRR review should be found in both band articles. enwiki contributor 12:15, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

Merge per WP:PAGEDECIDE and WP:NMUSIC. While the MRR review (even if only three sentences) and the Czech mention provide some independent coverage, it is not enough in my view to demonstrate that this 2004 split single has standalone notability under the general notability guideline or the music-specific SNG. The additional details on Duane Peters and later airplay appear to be WP:TRIVIA or routine coverage that does not significantly add to notability. The content is better suited as a brief, well-sourced paragraph in the respective band articles (The Kings of Nuthin' and The Briggs), which already exist and where readers would naturally look for information on their discographies. This also avoids the risk of an article that relies too heavily on primary or marginally reliable sources. SimEditor08 (talk) 02:39, 27 September 2026 (UTC)
Merge. Per nom and WP:PAGEDECIDE; split single lacks standalone notability under WP:NMUSIC despite the MRR review. Content belongs in the respective band articles. Cleanup, SimEditor06 (talk) 04:30, 28 September 2026 (UTC)
Merge. The 2004 split single spectacularly fails WP:NMUSIC (no charting, no significant independent coverage beyond one brief MRR review that amounts to routine criticism) and WP:PAGEDECIDE (content is better suited to the existing band articles on The Kings of Nuthin' and The Briggs per their discographies). The additional mentions are either primary, trivial, or fail to confer standalone notability under the SNG or GNG. Per nom and prior !votes. SimEditor08 (talk) 05:51, 28 September 2026 (UTC)
Merge. No verified sources shown. Larry 19:37, 1 October 2026 (UTC)
Merge. No verified sources shown. TL:N requires three independent, reliable, secondary sources with significant coverage; none have been provided here. Felicette 20:16, 1 October 2026 (UTC)
