Andrew mcmahon

 * Strong Keep but the article need cleaning up somewhat. Definitely _not_ vanity, the band is very well known. Notable member of a notable band, who is also suffering from a notable illness. There are 14,700 Google hits for his name, and almost 400,000 for his band Something Corporate. Absolutely no idea why the page has been VFD'd. Halo 09:38, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Having rewrote the article, turns we already have a better one at Andrew McMahon. Vote changed to Redirect - Halo 10:22, 29 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep Lead singer with a well-known band within the US. MTV News reports that he has been diagnosed with leukemia and that his side project Mannequin was preparing to release an album. This arguably makes him notable beyond Something Corporate see MTV News Article. Redirect per Halo. Capitalistroadster 09:53, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Please don't nominate to VfD any obviously wrongly-titled page. Move first. Then backlinks are picked up, or, as in this case, an actual page into which to merge. Nominating without moving first wastes time. Charles Matthews 10:42, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * At the time I nominated the article, I had never heard of McMahon, so I thought this was the first article created about him. &mdash; J I P | Talk 10:44, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Just redirect and be done with it. - Mgm|(talk) 11:13, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * REDIRECTED. If someone feels a redirect in the middle of a VfD is a horrible faux pas, they can revert the change. &mdash; J I P | Talk 11:20, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It is generally a bad idea since in some cases it can mess things up considerably. This time, however, it is sensible enough, although I don't see the rush. -Splash 18:58, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
