The Bum Notes

Are they even a real band? Seems likely they were assembled specifically to provide the theme music for the TV series Bottom. No sources are provided, and the material can be merged with the Bottom (TV series) article. MaxBrowne (talk) 12:11, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to either Ade Edmondson or Bottom (TV series), both of which cover this group in approximately the same detail as this article. Definitely not worth a standalone article. --Michig (talk) 07:27, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Here's a source that confirms that the band existed and performed the Bottom theme. --Michig (talk) 07:30, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Redirect to Ade_Edmondson#Music_career. As that article says, the Bum Notes were exclusively formed to provide the Bottom theme music. I suppose it's a plausible search term, and redirects are cheap, so let's do that. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 00:34, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK we have consensus for a redirect. Only question is whether to redirect to Ade Edmondson or Bottom (TV series). Personally I vote for Bottom, because in the minds of the general public the "band"/music is more closely associated with Bottom than with Edmondson himself. Until I read the article I didn't know Edmondson was involved in the musical production, I didn't even know he was a musician. MaxBrowne (talk) 01:47, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
