Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
Usually the difference between identical names is by year, say the band's founding. Or maybe the year of their first song.

Year disambiguation for Music/ pages is a horrible idea, because musicians are not tied to release years in the same way as "traditional" works.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
We do have Christopher Priest (comics) and Christopher Priest (novelist). We don't get these sorts of collisions for non-(traditional-)work pages very often. That's the only precedent I've seen.

Perhaps they could be listed under where they are based e.g. Music/NewYesterdayLosAngeles. Assuming they aren't both from the same place, that is.

That might be the best one, since defining by Genre can be... a bit fluid. Bands can have a Genre Shift (and these two already started pretty close, it seems) but they can't change where they started.
EDIT: Oh. Looking at the page, apparently all we know is that they're mostly American. Probably.
Edited by Larkmarn Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
And looking at the soundcloud for both groups, they're from "USA". It was a good suggestion, though.
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
One of them is from LA.
I have to say that I find it unlikely that anyone is going to make a page for the other band. Both of them are pushing There Is No Such Thing as Notability anyway, though the newer one seems to have more of a fanbase.
Also, the page here is probably the most detailed the older band has ever gotten, and I'm seriously wondering about some of the entries on their YMMV page (such as Broken Base) seeing that there don't seem to be many listeners to begin with. Their Soundcloud page has one like. The Youtube video received 23 views since 2012. I mean I guess they'd probably have local fanbase, but we don't even seem to know where "local" is in this case.

Uh, There Is No Such Thing As Notability doesn't have a limit. That's the whole point.
I'm not saying that the page should be cut. I mentioned that for two reasons:
1) The band is at such an extreme end of lacking of any notability, that lot of the YMMV entries seem iffy, especially Broken Base, One-Hit Wonder (not YMMV), Fanon Discontinuity, I Am Not Shazam, and They Changed It, Now It Sucks!. Actually, both the main and YMMV pages need cleaning up regardless.
2) Unless the troper themself decides to make a page for the other band, I find it very unlikely that anyone is ever going to, so there's little reason to worry about a disambig at the moment.
Edited by supergod For we shall slay evil with logic...
Making it a disambig now prevents problems later.
(In my experience, it's always the problems you don't prepare for that show up. The ones you are prepared for almost never happen! Go figure.)

Looks like the more recent band, (c.2014) are from LA. lakingsif, do you not know where the earlier band are from, as you created their page in 2011?
Edit: Just counted 8 ZCEs in the existing page, I don't know enough about the band to fix those but they need filling out or removing. I've commented them out for now.

Ruddy hell, there's also Susan Mae & The New Yesterday. Is this one of the current two bands under discussion, or yet another one? What is it with the name New Yesterday...
Avatar from here.
So, back in 2011 maybe I made the page for Music.New Yesterday. A band which is Alternative Indie and formally Latin influenced, with their Signature Song as Industrial Disco.
Looking for their new stuff, most of the Google results are about another band, apparently formed in 2015, with the same name who are Alternative Pop with a bit of Disco.
If I were to create a separate page for them, what would the distinction be? Music.New Yesterday Alt Indie band and Music.New Yesterday Alt Pop band?
