[edit] Keavy Lynch

No other notability other than being just a girl band member not to mention that being a pantomime does not mean notability. I would rather recommend a merge should this deletion becomes unsucessful Knock-Off Nigel (talk) 00:23, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Strong keep "No other notability"? Exactly how many notabilities are required? You admit in your nomination that she is notable as a member of very popular Irish pop group B*Witched. --Canley (talk) 04:42, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment, she is only notable for being in that bad and nothing else. Knock-Off Nigel (talk) 18:25, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: yes, so she is notable. My point is why are two or more points of notability required and where does this guideline or policy come from? --Canley (talk) 00:47, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: If I can rephrase Knock-Off Nigel, she is not notable outside of B*Witched. Individual members of notable organizations do not automatically inherit notability. Every member of the San Francisco Symphony or Mormon Tabernacle Choir doesn't automatically get a page. Torc2 (talk) 07:47, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes, but this band seems big enough for articles on individual members. Anyway, each member of the San Francisco Symphony or Mormon Tabernacle Choir are not notable in their own right because the are not well known outside their famile, while she is known throughout the country. So, therefore, keep. Editorofthewiki (talk) 03:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
My response was to the argument that she was notable because she was a member of a notable group. Do you agree that being a member of a notable group does not automatically demonstrate notability? Torc2 (talk) 08:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Not automatically, but in more notable groups like this one it does. Editorofthewiki (talk) 14:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge or redirect to B*Witched. There's nothing that assumes members of a notable band automatically get their own articles. What has she done on her own that has received substantial third-party coverage? Torc2 (talk) 07:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Well apparently she's been a pantomime, which is quite an intriguing mental image.....  :-) ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge or redirect to B*Witched. Unless some sources can be found which discuss some notable activities apart from B*Witched, or it can be demonstrated that the B*Witched article is too large and needs to be split. Right now there are mo credible independent sources. --Kevin Murray (talk) 11:27, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Sorry, it seems to my mind that this is setting an extraordinary precedent. Can someone point me to an article about a band or musical group where full biographical articles about the members have been merged into the article about the group? Does this apply to members of sports teams? --Canley (talk) 23:47, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Sports teams is a different matter as they are high profile in their own rights, whereas band members are usually not on their own other than being in that band and usually vanish from the showbiz radar when their band split up. Knock-Off Nigel (talk) 18:25, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
