[edit] Paul Todd, Dave Mac

Paul Todd (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Iron Maiden band member with incredibly short tenure (2 days). Does not appear to meet notability requirements. Already been A7'd once, second submission was prodded, and then prod was removed by page author. NMChico24 20:39, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nomination. Probably salt, if they're going to be recreated. A matter of days in a band and showing up for little more than a photoshoot or runs in a tour don't constitute notability. --Dennisthe2 23:15, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete both per nom. -- Dhartung | Talk 00:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete both per nom. Lack of sources too. --kingboyk 00:32, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete both per nomination. Merge whatever can be salvaged into Iron Maiden. – riana_dzasta 01:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete both and merge whatever information can be into the main page for the band. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 01:35, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect all to Iron Maiden.--TBCΦtalk? 01:43, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete both and merge any relevant or necessary information into Iron Maiden. CattleGirl talk | sign! 02:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment. I did not know that about GFDL terms, Dhartung. Thanks for the tip. Pigmandialogue 05:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete both per nom.--JUDE talk 08:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete both - someone whose main achievement is being with the band for 2 days is not notable. -- Chairman S. Talk Contribs 10:33, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. —dima/s-ko/ 02:23, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Both I strongly believe that any official member of such a hugely popular band should be included in their history and have their own page. Iron Maiden is one of the top selling and grossing acts in the world. These members are discussed in their DVD biographies and the band even did photo sessions with them. It makes no sense for them to be deleted. I know if I was was scanning the various Maiden band members, I'd be very disappointed to see two names I'd like to know more about, but they have no links. Each member has a story, and I feel they should be included. Leper Messiah 33 22:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
    • But alas the articles say nothing of interest. No date of birth, no photo, no where are they now, nothing. The reason? These guys aren't covered by the media because they're not notable. --kingboyk 13:17, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
    • This would assume that notability by extension connotes notability - and per WP:N, the answer to this assumption is "no, it doesn't". --Dennisthe2 23:25, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
