Daddy Fantastic
I don't see how this band is notable. This article was most likely created because the former lead singer Pete Bennett, whose article I nominated for deletion last month because I didn't think he was notable, was a member. According to the article, the band isn't even signed, and most of the article is about Pete anyway. jd || talk || 14:35, 25 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. It is a notable band, that just happened to have one of its ex-members in Big Brother. If it is in a bidding war between top music labels then it must be notable. -- Alex |  talk  /  review me  | 14:46, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Or they could be trying to take advantage of the popularity they hoped the former lead singer would have provided? jd || talk || 14:49, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * They could be, but it's not been proven. I suggest it should be kept until they are signed - which is very likely to happen - and we'll see how they go from there. -- Alex |  talk  /  review me  | 14:51, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete The band has absolutely no notability aside from the guy from Big Brother. Saying "keep until signed, which is likely" is crystalballism. At the very most, this should be a merge into Bennett's article. -- Kicking222 09:46, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * In the article it states there is a bidding war to sign the band - I said it likely because they may decline both offers. -- Alex |  talk  /  review me  | 13:03, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. While I thouroughly hate Big Brother, I can't deny Big Brother makes people famous, so this is a band with a notable member. - Mgm|(talk) 10:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Bennett is a former member, his former band isn't notable, and I question his notability (15 minutes and all).  Sandy 13:00, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I wanted this deleted last time and now they're even less notable than before! So my delete vote this time is stronger than my delete vote last time! &mdash; AnemoneProjectors (talk) 17:31, 26 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Actually, being in Big Brother, even if that made you notable, wouldn't be enough here, notability of a member must be through music-related projects. From WP:MUSIC: "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such." Would a band be notable if a guitarist were also a noted college physicist? Guyanakoolaid 08:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete having (or having had) a band member who is a big brother contestant doesn't make this band notable or worthy of inclusion -- timdew (Talk) 20:24, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Guyanakoolaid. The JPS talk to me  09:57, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
