I propose merging to Capcom because its notability is not asserted. Only available sources are forums. Go D. Usopp (talk) 11:29, 10 September 2026 (UTC)

• Keep Alph Lyla passes WP:NBAND #6 because it had 2 independently notable members, Yoko Shimomura and Yasuaki Fujita. Fujita's article has scant sources but he would appear to pass WP:NMUSICIAN due to his work as the main composer on a number of obviously notable games. Unless you can show that Fujita is non-notable, this article would pass the subject-specific guideline. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:51, 10 September 2026 (UTC)

  The Yasuaki Fujita has no reliable sources. I would agree to a merge per EarthToAccess below. IgelRM (talk) 21:33, 28 September 2026 (UTC)

Merge. It can be argued Fujita actually does not pass notability for the purposes of this article on the same caution criterion 6 mentions; recursive and circular notability. Fujita’s primary fame is working within Capcom themselves, of which Alph Lyla is accredited to. EarthToAccess (talk) 23:10, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

Fujita's fame is not "from working within Capcom" but from working on multiple definitely notable games in a composer capacity, many as sole composer. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:22, 20 September 2026 (UTC)

Keep If you actually check the Japanese wiki (https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALPH_LYLA), it has a lot of things to expand, while the source can be research from various Japanese media and publication. Christian Elbrianno (talk) 14:52, 19 September 2026 (UTC)

This amounts to WP:SOURCESEXIST so it would be helpful to say if any actual sources were there that could count towards it being notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:26, 20 September 2026 (UTC)

• Merge semms very week on it's own, with hardly any sources does'nt meet WP:GNG, they were the house band of Capcom, so it makes sense. Happypenguins82 (talk) 22:09, 29 September 2026 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:NBAND#6. The band dissolved in the 1990s, so it is unlikely that the coverage is online. I do not think it is appropriate to cover a band in an article on a business entity which effectively acted as its label, especially when we have no strong sourcing that tightly connects the two.
