  • Keep. Notability asserted in having been a member of a notable music group. Admittedly, this looks like some kind of vanity, but that's no reason to delete. Someguy1221 15:53, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

*Keep - Clearly passes WP:MUSIC with membership of notable group - Tiswas(t) 10:15, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete or Merge with S Club 8 Perhaps someone can point me to the part of WP:MUSIC that says that members of notable bands are de facto notable enough for their own article. The WP:MUSIC that I'm reading says no such thing, and WP:N suggests that band members can generally be treated within the article on the band. Nor is there any suggestion that this person has himself met WP:BIO - not the band, but this individual member. Natalie 11:27, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - It's an inference, more than anything - WP:MUSICcriterion 6. states that bands are notable if a member was once in a notable band - this suggests that the notability is with the person. Otherwise, it assumes that, on leaving notable band A, the person becomes non-notable, and on joining, the new band becomes notable, inheriting the notability, as if the person carried the notability like a recessive virus (which is the only analogy that I can think of). - Tiswas(t) 11:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
  • While he passes the notability criteria for musicians. There's very little material not related to said band. I think it's a good idea to Redirect and merge to S Club 8. (But I think it's an even better idea to lump this nomination in with the rest of the members at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daisy Evans. - Mgm|(talk) 12:47, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect and merge - On further consideration, as the constituent members have done articles are mainly repetition. Treat them much as you would WP:EPISODE - start the articles in the main band space, the hive them off as the members become notable in their own right. - Tiswas(t) 12:54, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
