Bio of a member of the band The Foxes but having no notability outside of it. WP:MUSICBIO #6 requires that band members be associated with two separately notable bands for independent articles. Probable WP:COI; the image on the page is a promotional photograph uploaded by the creator. I42 (talk) 18:53, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No secondary sources, no independent notability. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 19:40, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As noted in WP:MUSIC "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria:"

IT INCLUDES:

"1. Has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable.

This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries."

"12. Has been the subject of a half-hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network."

"Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases. Members of two notable bands are generally notable enough for their own article." He has several INDEPENDENT RELEASES. If you look at the sources I have included, you will see that they are INDEPENDENT and SECONDARY; the image is not promotional - IT IS A FREE IMAGE A nothing more and nothing less thank you very much. Also, if you keep saying that I am related to them, adding tags to all my articles, then I am going to report you - you have no evidence whatsoever! So what I uploaded the photo!?

Delete and merge to article on the band. Not notable in own right, most references are not reliable (blogs, myspace). (GregJackP (talk) 14:49, 22 February 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete Much of the material in the article is about The Foxes and their own record label (separate article on that already deleted: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Room_10_Records). If this has a place, it is in The Foxes (band), which already covers much of the same material. One article fits all. AllyD (talk) 12:46, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Independant notability is not established, the articles on The Foxes is enough. sparkl_!sm ^hey! 16:58, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
