Dahvie Vanity

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

While his band is notable, I don't think that Vanity has received enough coverage himself to merit an article. Plus this is a BLP minefield. I suggest this be deleted and then redirected to his band's article (and the redirect should probably be protected). Mark Arsten (talk) 01:27, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. I agree. Delete it and leave a redirect. No properly sourced content to merge. --Michig (talk) 12:20, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I believe that David (Dahvie) is notable enough to have article. He's article is the same as any other band member within any labaled band. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tap03856 (talk • contribs) 20:44, 25 August 2013‎ The words "* Keep" added by davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  on 20:36, 28 August 2013 (UTC), clearly reflecting Tap03856's intent.
 * Delete The band article is enough; this one guy isn't notable enough for his own article. Ensignricky (talk) 18:36, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Unsure The fact that this is a BLP minefield also applies to relevant parts of the suggested target of the redirect. I've seen nothing so far that indicate that this person is notable independent of the band except as it relates to his alleged criminal activity and subsequent acquittal.  If the article is kept, the section devoted to his life outside the band will soon become large and un-flattering.  I've held off making the article more complete in this way pending the outcome of this discussion, but I did leave a relevant comment on the article's talk page. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  21:10, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
