The result of the nomination was keep the band, delete the singer. – Avi 14:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paramore, Hayley Williams, Hayley williams

Delete per WP:MUSIC - CrazyRussian talk/email 15:23, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as nominated for all three. --Gay Cdn 16:35, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The band's first album is for sale at major retailers like BestBuy and Amazon. In addition I found third party reviews [[1]], [[2]] of the first album and confirmed that they are going to be on the Vans_Warped_Tour as well. Their label is an indy but did produce a couple of Fall_Out_Boy albums as well as Less Than Jake which are pretty notable. I guess they don't technically meet all the parts of WP:MUSIC but IMO it is a guideline for a reason. DrunkenSmurf 18:31, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Do you think that the article on the lead singer should be deleted? The band's possible notability does not mean its members are independently notable. —Centrx→talk • 04:02, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Thats a fair question. To be honest, while I'm solid on my opinion of keep for the band, I'm having a tough time deciding on the singer. I could be swayed either way I guess. DrunkenSmurf 14:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep on the band. Delete on Haley Williams and Haley williams. The band is reasonably notable for the time being. The lead singer is not independently notable enoguh now.--Nick Y. 21:54, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
• weak keep on all. We do have an article on Flyleaf's lead singer Lacey Mosley, no? ~Chris (talk/e@) 02:35, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. The existence of a Lacey Mosley article does not entail that the Hayley Williams article should remain. If they are actually equally notable, then it is possible both should be deleted. If at some point in the future Lacey Mosley is deleted, are we to then immediately delete this one? —Centrx→talk • 04:02, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: I've redirected Hayley williams to Hayley Williams. If the result is keep, the redirect will be fine, if it gets deleted, then the redirect can be speedied under R1. --Zoz (t) 13:15, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete the singer. Weak keep the band. Band has a song on "companion" album to the soundtrack of a major film, and a song in a major computer game. 1 million Ghits. If not now, it appears they may become increasingly notable. The singer is only notable specifically as part of the band's success, not independently, and does not warrant a separate article. I would suggest merging, except the singer article has no sources whatsoever and vague statements like "After watching and waiting patiently, the two invited Hayley". —Centrx→talk • 22:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep the band. Per the WP:MUSIC, this band has been on national and international tours, as well as been in rotation on FUSE, which should be considered a major music (although not radio) network. -Nianmi • 16:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
  • User's 1st edit - CrazyRussian talk/email 16:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep the band, Delete the lead singer. Same reasons as Nianmi. --The Local Village Idiot 18:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
