~~Speedy Delete'~~ Merge - The only third-party source I could find that wasn't just a date announcement was an ~~interview in "Hear Nebraska."~~ Nope, that wasn't them. I did come across ~~their Squarespace page, and noticed they haven't splurged on a domain name~~ . . . (also not them) Hmmm... ~~I'm changing my recommendation to speedy delete.~~ I definitely see the connection with Chris Ballew and agree that a merge would be a better option.

Merge with Chris Ballew, he's the only member of the band and there isn't enough content for a stand-alone article. That being said, there are plenty of third-party sources about the Giraffes: Billboard, MTV, The News-Times, Willamette Week. The fact that they don't have a SquareSpace or domain name should not be relevant, they stopped recording music in 2001. Most bands from that era did not have their own websites. --Surachit (talk) 18:57, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Chris Ballew. I don't see any claims of notability here outside of their connection to notable musician Ballew. Anything that's here, including the references Surachit found, can be included in a section on his page. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 19:18, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Chris Ballew as he is the only member of this music project and there is not much content so a merge seems a valid option, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 22:19, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Chris Ballew. Given that this is essentially a solo project from someone for whom we have an article, the delete arguments here are baffling. There is some coverage that confirms the basic facts for anyone willing and able to find it, e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. --Michig (talk) 09:55, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
