[edit] Christopher Gray and Erin Grooms

User:Harro5 nominated the Gray article for speedy deletion. I disagree, even though the article is woefully stubby, Gossamer is a notable band with a large article. I think keep, merge or redirect but not delete. Sjakkalle 08:08, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

• Having seen the band page, merge. Same goes for Erin Grooms, and so I have added his page to this VfD. Harro5 08:23, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and unlink the names. This is what we get when band articles have every member of the band wikilinked. We end up with valid speedy delete articles that say "X plays Y for band Q." Nothing is learned at all from such a link, and the person does not need an article, as he or she is known only for being in the band. If one of these persons has a solo career or does stuff outside of the band that is notable, then she or he should be discussed in an article. Otherwise, mention in the band article is sufficient.

Keep with a stub tag. If the band page is that long, then there must be a decent amount to say about each member too. Internodeuser 12:56, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete (or Merge/redir the tiny bit that's therer). Band article has plenty of room for personnel info. Niteowlneils 21:31, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Either delete outright or merge/redirect (if there's anything useful that isn't already in the band's article). Joyous 23:35, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non notable. JamesBurns 10:44, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
