The result was delete. Notability concerns due to sourcing are valid concerns for a deletion discussion, one that is not outweighed by the subject being interesting, which is not a notability-granting aspect. Aoidh (talk) 16:05, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Brett Adams

Originally a redirect to boy band Point Break, which would be the alternative to deletion for this actor and singer who has only had relatively brief and minor roles in either profession. Sourcing here doesn't demonstrate a pass of WP:GNG, let alone WP:NACTOR or WP:MUSICBIO - and there's little out there other than other Brett Adamses. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 06:03, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Hey Alexander, I have added some more interesting information to the page and I think it would be more beneficial to have information about Brett Adams rather than just a redirect page.
 * He was actually the lead character in Byker Grove for 5 season and shared one of the first gay male kisses on national TV, so I think it is an historic piece of pop culture and of importance. The band Point Break was also very popular back in the day and big in Japan and other countries and he was also one of the songwriters and well as just being a singer.  So it is nice to have all the information that is out there gathered in one place... I will continue to add to it when I have time. Andrewjohnmoore (talk) 19:12, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I have added information including WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO with verifiable book and website references.
 * Brett Adams was a lead character in BBC's Byker Grove from 1990 to 1995 (6 series) and had tracks with Point Break that where in the top 10 UK singles charts and an album in the top 20 that also charted around the world.
 * As well as sharing one of the first gay coming out stories and kisses on television in 1994. I think this alone is a reason to have a wikipedia article. Andrewjohnmoore (talk) 10:50, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep, given the additional context from Byker Grove and being the first queer character on British children's television. — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk; please &#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; me in replies) 11:30, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete This is a WP:BLP and the sourcing is extremly poor. Don't see enough coverage to pass WP:NSINGER or even WP:MUSICBIO. The arguments given above are tenuous at best. No real secondary sources that are in-depth. Fails WP:SIGCOV.   scope_creep Talk  06:39, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
