Talk:Tye Zamora

The topic of the main page on Wikipedia titled Tye Zamora and it's redirect edit.
Firstly, please know that I am an extreme noob to this, this is actually my first ever entry into anything Wikipedia.

So due to a personal interest in the band Alien Ant Farm I came looking specifically for Tye Zamora. When I got to the page it was a redirect to his band's (former band's) page. I am accustomed to finding information about that person, some discography info, and other specifics concerning the person referenced by the page and not a redirect back to the band.

So I was curious as to why and started delving into how the edits and such work and found this edit reportedly done by the user "Plastikspork". not knowing how to contact that user directly this seemed to be the next natural way of satisfying my curiosities. Those being first, why was that done? and second, if a person were so inclined could he (or she) change it back to how it was done originally and have all of the info about the person there and not just a redirect. It is obvious to me that anyone can edit, so the answer to that was a yes however, not having any experience at this and not knowing why it was changed in the first place I didn't think it would be the smartest idea of not asking first and wasting efforts editing if there is some thing or standard I am not aware of and therefore should not be editing.

So... @Plastikspork I know that 2009 was quite a while ago and am not even sure that asking you directly with the @ before your name would even get a message to you about this edit you did 13 years now. So in lieu of the original poster if any other experienced person knows the answers can you please state it here. Pmead7399 (talk) 09:43, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Pmead7399, The reason was given in the edit summary? If you want to create a stand alone article for Tye Zamora, I would start by creating Draft:Tye Zamora and go from there.  That is unless you are extremely confident that you have enough material for the article to immediately survive WP:AFD.  To have it survive as a stand alone article, the individual generally needs to be known outside of being a member of the band.  You also need to have verifiable, reliable sources to establish this notability.  Clearly, notability is not inherited, or every member of every notable band would have a stand-alone article.  This is, of course, not to discourage you from trying to expand this into a stand-alone article.  The version that was redirected didn't have any sources and all the verifiable information in the article was already in the band's article.  Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ (talk)  19:59, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
