Brendon Urie
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

None of the members of this band appear to be notable outside of the band. A previous AFD (from 2 years ago) was closed as keep with "any unsourced biographies should be redirected to the Panic! at the Disco article and then expanded out as proper references can be provided". Each of these articles have about a paragraph's worth or less of sourced content with the rest being a history of the band. A redirect seems to be the only logical conclusion. I thought that, given the length of time since the last AFD, that I would go for fresh consensus instead of redirecting boldly. If your !vote is not the same for all five articles, please specify — Hello, Control Hello, Tony  20:34, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Oppose straight redirects. Merge the relevant information, certainly, although I can see arguments in favor of letting Brent Wilson and Brendon Urie standing alone. I'd suggest that next time it might not be neccesary to bring this to afd, at least not until the d stands for discussion rather than deletion. Hiding T 20:53, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You're right, of course. By "redirect", I meant to merge any verifiable and sourced notable content to the band's article and then redirect the members' articles to the band's. — Hello, Control Hello, Tony  20:57, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect all Per nom. they are not all clearly noteworthy except for being in the band. Hance the best place for info on them is in the bands page - this will help readers, which is the point of an encylopedia, rather than massage egos. Unreferenced biographies are strongly against policy an "should be deleted on sight" - why are they allowed to stand here?Yobmod (talk) 13:36, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I still think they are all noteworthy. And besides, this is an encyclopedia and people come on here to look them up and learn what they can about them. Don't you all think we're jumping the gun a little to delete people from band's pages nowadays?--Bottle-Of-Musical-Joy (talk) 23:27, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * One !vote per person, please. — Hello, Control Hello, Tony  23:40, 8 October 2008 (UTC) (User deleted other !vote)
 * comment. why do you think they are note-worthy? You have secret sources that you are keeping from the article? They are not being deleted from the band's pages - most votes are to include then into the bands pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yobmod (talk • contribs) 13:20, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge. They are not notable beyond the band and are subject to little editing other than vandalism.  Merge all and protect the redirects to the band article.  JBsupreme (talk) 18:16, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
