There appears to be a slight consensus to merge the contents of this article into Kinarin Revolution on the grounds that one article can better serve the needs of the two current articles. An editor raised a point that as the band is only important because of the TV show it is part of, it should be discussed there instead. I do confess that this is not my area of expertise (I don't even know how to pronounce the name of this page), so if I missed anything important in the close please don't hesitate to contact me.Mgasparin (talk)23:49, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge article toKira Pika and create another redirect without the spaces if you want, rendering the issue moot. Band article is tiny, this album article is even tinier, a single Wikipedia article can certainly cover both.SnowFire (talk)21:21, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Kira Pika should be merged toKirarin Revolution because the group was created just for the show and for the singers/actresses to play the characters in a real-life context. The group has only released one single and was active for probably around 3 months (plus a concert appearance in 2009 and a television appearance in 2015). The article's scope is only limited toKirarin Revolution and cannot be expanded as they have disbanded andMai Hagiwara has retired from entertainment. SeeWP:MERGEREASONs 2, 3, and 4. I currently submittedDraft:Kirarin Revolution discography for review and I think we can merge it there.lullabying (talk)17:07, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The group is still notable perWP:BAND. If even it existed for one minute, it would still be notable. And actually, I looked at the article "Kira Pika" and the statement that the duo disbanded in 2007 can't be verified by the source given. --Moscow Connection (talk)17:17, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
They were only active for 3 months, but I get your point onwhen their disbandment took place as being unclear. Notability as a band is not being disputed -- the article overlaps withKirarin Revolution and the group itself isn't independent outside of the show. You can also say the same thing withShips (band). Their singles charted but there is barely any information about them aside from them being created forKirarin Revolution. Other similar examples includeLove Live! andThe Idolmaster Cinderella Girls, where the voice cast do hold concerts as the characters they portray, and their singles chart as well, but their band presence alone depends on the show and they are not independent from the show as a band (and there's even more information on them than there is forKira Pika) -- context about the group depends heavily on the main series they are from, causing an overlap in articles.lullabying (talk)17:22, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Duplicate: There are two or more pages on exactly the same subject, with the same scope.YKira Pika andKirarin Revolution are different in that one focuses on the group and the other focuses on the show, butKira Pika is a group solely created for the show featuring the actresses who are technically still playing their characters from the show. It's just that they're playing them in a real-life context.
Overlap: There are two or more pages on related subjects that have a large overlap.YKirarin Revolution#Anime already mentions the "real-life context" and crossovers with otherTV Tokyo shows.Kira Pika is also basically a band featuring characters fromKirarin Revolution performing in a real-life context.
Short text: If a page is very short and is unlikely to be expanded within a reasonable amount of time, it often makes sense to merge it with a page on a broader topic.YKira Pika released only one single and was active for 3 months, plus a guest appearance at aKirarin Revolution concert in 2009 and a television show performance in 2015. No other information can be added, especially sinceMai Hagiwara is no longer in entertainment.
Context: If a short article requires the background material or context from a broader article in order for readers to understand it.YKira Pika was made forKirarin Revolution and is not independent from the show.Koharu Kusumi andMai Hagiwara are only performing as their characters.
Do you really want to delete it so much? I will just point out that "Kira Pika" shouldn't redirect to "Kirarin Revolution" cause presently the duo is not discussed in the main article in detail and a person coming from the redirect won't understand why he was sent there and won't find the information he wanted. I don't see any harm in the article existing. I am sure it can be "expanded within a reasonable amount of time". As for other "merge reasons", I don't think they are valid. The pages aren't on the same subject, they don't have a large overlap, etc. (As have said already, you can't even find any details about the group in the main article. So obviously the main article doesn't have the same scope and maybe it doesn't even need that information. A link to "Kira Pika" will suffice. Therefore I think it is more logical when the duo has its own article, even it's just a couple of paragraphs.) --Moscow Connection (talk)09:07, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sailor Moon (character) andMiley Stewart count more as character articles, but they probably can stand alone because there's more information about them and because they're iconic/memorable in pop culture. (I do thinkMiley Stewart needs more articles on reception but that's beyond the point.)Big Time Rush (band) is the best example of an in-show band having its own article, but that's because there are tons of articles discussing their music style and artistry as a band, hence lots of discussion about reception. If you're able to findWP:RELIABLESOURCEs about Kira Pika that discusses the band's artistry and etc. separate fromKirarin Revolution and can extend the article from stub-class within a reasonable amount of time (as perWP:MERGEREASON), then the article should be kept. But as it stands now, there isn't enough information that isn't a repeat ofHana o Pūn / Futari wa NS orKirarin Revolution. Also, there is no new information about them sinceKirarin Revolution has ended almost 10 years ago andMai Hagiwara retired in 2017. It makes sense to mergeKira Pika toKirarin Revolution because they are an in-show group with characters from the show.lullabying (talk)16:46, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree withLullabying. Ifthe only reason the band is notable is because it's part of a notable show, so it should be discussed in the show page.Moscow Connection say: "I will just point out that "Kira Pika" shouldn't redirect to "Kirarin Revolution" cause presently the duo is not discussed in the main article in detail and a person coming from the redirect won't understand why he was sent there and won't find the information he wanted". That what's a merge is about. When a proper merge is done, the content of Kira Pika should be included in Kirarina Revolution.Gabriel Yuji (talk)17:07, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
About your Third Opinion request: The request made atThird Opinion has been removed (i.e. declined). Like all other moderated contentdispute resolution venues at Wikipedia, Third Opinion requiresrecent thorough talk page discussion before seeking assistance and the most recent discussion here is almost two months old. You might want to request a consensus evaluation atWP:AN. —TransporterMan (TALK)21:38, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Since Lullabying created the "Kirarin Revolution discography", he or she has AfDed orboldly redirected several articles there. I personally find all this annoying, if notdisruptive. TheMilkyWay article, for example, was easlily defendable if only he or she notified me. I had to come here yet again because I saw him/her posting arequest for closure. First anWP:3O (it was so long ago, it seems like a couple of years have passed!), then I can remember a post toWP:AN (yes, about this very article!), now aWP:ANRFC. JustWP:DROPTHESTICK. Could you please, I'm begging you... I had other plans for today. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:08, 21 December 2019 (UTC) And for tomorrow. And for the coming year. --Moscow Connection (talk)13:20, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Moscow Connection: Precisely because this discussion has been open for over an year, with no activity in over six months, it's way overdue to be closed and I cannot close it myself since I participated in this discussion. I'd rather it be closed with a new discussion opened than to leave it in stasis. And honestly, I'm not trying to step on people's toes, but you really need to drop this -- if you're unsatisfied with what's been going on, then just open a deletion review to defend your decisions instead of passive-aggressively attacking me at any chance you get. I've been very patient with your behavior, but this has to stop.lullabying (talk)22:06, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
