No other notability other than being just a boy 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) 00:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

• comment, not to mention clear COI issues considering the article creater is user:Armaou (assumeing it is created by somebody related). Knock-Off Nigel (talk) 00:26, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

• Strong keep, meets WP:BIO as member of notable UK pop group 911 (band). --Canley (talk) 04:56, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

• comment, what notable member, its not as if he has a sucessful solo career or being in other band which has another top 40 hits. My reason is most of these in his article is about the band and nothing else, plus not to mention that being in pantomime is nowhere as notable as being in West End or Broadway, not to mention that isn't that where past it celebs go to die, career wise. Also he had done nothing notable other than being in that teeny-bopper group. Knock-Off Nigel (talk) 18:25, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment My point is no part of the notability guidelines indicate that a member of a notable group is not notable enough to have a biographical article which I strongly disagree should be merged with the band article. Kurt Cobain, for example, never had a solo career or was in another Top 40 band other than Nirvana. Footballers rarely achieve anything outside their team. Your comments about "teeny-bopper groups" and nomination of only members of B*Witched and one of their husbands really make me question your motivations, but I'll try and assume good faith and assume you have a broader plan to what I see as an unnecessary "rationalisation" of numerous biographical articles. --Canley (talk) 00:45, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• Actually, Kurt Cobain easily meets the notability criteria at WP:MUSIC, since there have been numerous TV shows, books, etc. on his life as considered separately from Nirvana. The same can't be said for the topic of this article - otherwise, there would be some cited sources establishing notability. --Dachannien^Talk_Contrib 04:04, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment Point taken, bad example! I still disagree, but I see from WP:OUTCOMES that this sort of action is not as uncommon as I thought. As long as the edit history remains for the subject, I suppose a redirect is not unreasonable. My apologies to the nominator for doubting his motivation as well. --Canley (talk) 05:22, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• Redirect to 911. There's nothing that assumes members of a notable band automatically get their own articles. What has Brennan done on his own that has received substantial third-party coverage? References to his agent or personal page aren't good enough. Torc2 (talk) 07:01, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

• Redirect to 911 (band). Half this article is about the band rather than the actual topic of the article, and barring that, the article contains no noteworthy content. --Dachannien^Talk_Contrib 07:13, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
