[edit] Phil Creswick

This article is also listed for peer review. I found it with a VFD tag and sub-page but not apparently listed on a deletion page. I'm putting it here only for that reason. I personally would just merge it with no further debate. Mozzerati 21:29, 2005 May 14 (UTC)

i myself have never heard of big fun, there is nothing on the "big fun" page to suggest that they are notable, so therefore this guy shouldnt be notable. --Sensation002 22:16, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

• Big Fun sold over 1 000 000 records all over the world and had many top 10 hits in Europe and Asia and Phil Creswick wrote a lot of songs for many artists. Try to use Google to find the answers you need (before you place the VfD tag on an article):

• Keep I was a huge fan of Big Fun when I lived in Liverpool. Nearly everybody knows their songs in the UK! (anon vote from 82.96.100.100 (talk · contribs)
• Speedy keep (anon vote from 84.245.191.181 (talk · contribs))
• merge to Big Fun or if that isn't agreed then delete. Mozzerati 19:01, 2005 May 14 (UTC)
• Keep. Verifiable and NPOV. DoubleBlue (Talk) 21:45, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, cleanup. ✏ OvenFresh² 21:46, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Big Fun. Not notable on his own. Megan1967 03:27, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. It doesn't cost extra to have a separate article, and his songwriting and other musical efforts outside the group (including with Vince Clarke of Erasure) merit a separate article. VfD as cleanup again. --Unfocused 04:11, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep notable collaboration with Vince Clarke mentioned above. Kappa 05:49, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - Big Fun had hits back in the 80s in the UK and

subsequent work with Vince Clarke indicates ongoing musical career. Capitalistroadster 11:58, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Fascinating stub. Anyone who gets to collaborate with Vince Clarke on a 2001 soundtrack is encyclopedic IMO. Another fascinating thing is that, although this article doesn't even say what he plays, it took this long for anybody to put a stub notice on it. Andrewa 15:12, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
