Proposed redirect
I propose to redirect this article to The Foxes (band), due to the fact that this subject does not pass the WP:MUSIC notability guidelines. There is no information that suggests the subject is notable independent of the band. The same applies to Nigel Thomas. Cycle~ (talk) 21:10, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I disagree with the redirect, as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:MUSIC#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles.

Jonathan has been the topic of discussion in many magazines and newspapers. He has also had many radio interviews on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, and many other radio stations; including other and local (including BBC) stations. One or more of these interviews has been half an hour.

Their last single 'Trauma Town' was number 9 in the Official UK Indie charts, and their next Single 'Bill Hicks' in number 1 in the Play.com pre order download charts. Blaze42 (talk) 11:58, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
 * He's only been subject of these discussions and interviews because of his place in the band. Just because an interview/coverage states his name does not mean the interview is about him.  As stated above, the subject must be notable independent of the band.  Please do not make major edits (like reverting the redirect) without noting it on the talk page – let alone seeking consensus.  It can clearly be seen that two editors already support the redirect (not to mention the fact that we have a guideline in place for exactly these situations).

I believe that the band member Nigel Thomas is notable enough outside the band, and have added a lot of information to the page. I also believe that Jonathan Brentman is also notable enough to outside the band.

This is because they have been the topic of conversation - half an hour on at least one interview - and in one example interview, only Nigel Thomas was present. The discussion was based around his background, childhood, education, and musical life. The same can be said for Jothan Brentman. Nigel Thomas has also written many songs independent of the band, and these had been featured on the radio also.

Thus, because of these points I beleive that at least Nigel Thomas is notable enough to have an article. Thanks for your time. Blaze42 (talk) 12:43, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
