Band different from solo moniker of Mike Rosenberg

We had for some time now, a unified article called Passenger (British band) whereas the musical project started by Mike Rosenberg, a founder and main vocalist of the band is strictly a solo project. True there was a British band called Passenger went on until 2009 with just one album, all the albums and singles that followed were not those of the band, but those of Mike Rosenberg who used it as a moniker (nickname) for his own work including his internationally successful album All the Little Lights and his international single "Let her Go". It would be very wrong to keep these under the title of British band when it is just a solo singer-songwriter releasing them. I have addressed this anomaly by keeping just band-related materials here, and referring the post-2009 materials to a solo page Passenger (singer). Mike Rosenberg will lead to Passenger (singer) where most of his work is, rather than as presently to Passenger (British band) werldwayd (talk) 04:32, 28 January 2013 (UTC) werldwayd (talk) 04:33, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to Discogs, it is not different. We don't have a separate article for when Porcupine Tree was Steven Wilson's solo project versus later days, when it was a full band with a stable lineup. This seems to be the exact reverse situation. Support merge, this does not warrant a content fork. Nowak Kowalski (talk) 15:21, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also Support merge. Valkyrie Missile

Merge band to singer

Per the above comment. MorningThoughts (talk) 11:05, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. While I'd usually support such a proposal, in this case there is the added complexity is that Passenger (singer) is also the personal biography for Michael Rosenberg. So, the key question is whether Rosenberg has notability independent of the band. My feeling is that there are enough biographical references to support independent notability.

Passenger, stylized as Passenger?

Hi,

The introduction of the article says "Passenger, stylized as /Passenger." Is it me, or is it both the exact same forms?

OK got it, reverted the last change to the article. Slasher-fun (talk) 18:26, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it was stylized as /Passenger. Somebody must have removed the / See album cover for Wicked man's Rest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wicked-Mans-Rest-Passenger.jpg or cover of single "Walk You Home http://connect.pure.com/p#!/uk/flow/store/release/119046-Walk-You-Home werldwayd (talk) 22:14, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
