[edit] Jackie Barnes
I deleted this after it had been prodded. The rationale for deletion was "Does not meet WP:MUSIC. A Google search turns up several other Jackie Barnes but only a passing mention of this one in an article about his father."
This was contested after the deletion, with the arguments that "There are some factors that show he is eligable to have his page re loaded. He sung a duet on the Double Happiness album by Jimmy Barnes. That album debuted at number 1 on the Australian charts. The song from the album "same woman" has been on rotation in radio in australia as well as in many cd stores around Australia. He has toured internationally as a drummer with Jimmy Barnes. The band has toured UK, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. these have been reported in newspapers etc. He is currently recording the new Jimmy Barnes album, and has done some writing for the new Living Loud album with Steve Morse and Bob Daisley. His website shows the 20 albums he has appeared on as a soloist and drummer. In the children's group The Tin Lids, they were nominated for the ARIA award for Best Children's album, I believe it was 1992 or 93. There are plenty of recordings on his site available to listen to and youtube videos."
I undeleted it and brought it here to get a wider input Trebor 22:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Weak keep. He was a member of the Tin Lids who had a hit record back in the early 1990s and he does get a credit on Double Happiness. He is marginally notable enough for mine but if not should be redirected to Jimmy Barnes. Capitalistroadster 01:09, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 01:11, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep He seems notable enough that many Australians would be interested. 99of9 04:22, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Delete, I don't think that having a credit on a top-selling album is itself evidence of notability. Basically he's a session musician with a famous dad, and apart from the family connection, I don't see how he's notable. Lankiveil 11:32, 4 March 2007 (UTC).
- Weak Delete Very much borderline on the WP:Music criteria. I say delete however on the basis of wikipedia not being any the poorer were this article not there. Perhaps a re-direct to Jimmy Barnes and a couple of lines about his son on that page would be preferable. A1octopus 16:25, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Australians are interested in Jackie, he has appeared on many TV shows and Music Videos in Australia and has been recordings music since the age of 5yo. mikey2006 08:45, 5 March 2007
- Merge and Redirect to Jimmy Barnes: in keeping with Wiki guidelines, Non-prominent relatives of a famous person tend to be merged into the article on the person, and articles on persons who are only notable for being associated with a certain event tend to be merged into the main article on that event. Jackie Barnes does not seem to have had a notable music career outside of performing with his son, but should be noted for doing so. If more references per mikey2006 can be found, then keep.
