Each of the members of pop group S Club 8 have their own articles, yet there is nothing to suggest that any of them individually meet WP:BIO. (Jay Asforis has already been nominated for deletion separately). Being part of a notable band does not make one notable. Rather, information on members of the band should be covered in the article on the band. Furthermore, most of the information in all of these article is redundant to the article on the band. Calvin Goldspink is the only member who even comes remotely close to being notable outside of the band, and the only claim to notability in his article is that he has shot a TV pilot, which is borderline at best.

 * Would not be adverse to a hack-and-slash merge to the main article, per the points raised. -- saberwyn 11:59, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to the main S Club 8 article. I don't know about the pilot Calvin did, but Rochelle Wiseman also presented a popular children's program for a while, so I'd consider her notable outside the band. - Mgm|(talk) 12:44, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I've added Jay to the list. It makes no sense to me for his article to be judged separately from the rest of the members. - Mgm|(talk) 12:48, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect - Treat them much as you would WP:EPISODE - start the articles in the main band space, the hive them off as the members become notable in their own right. (copied from Jay Asforis afd) - Tiswas (t) 12:56, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to retain information on Wikipedia, whilst preventing unnecessary proliferation of articles, leaves option open to resurrect individual articles as/when the individuals' careers develop. DuncanHill 14:44, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep, at the very least Calvin Goldspink should be kept, he is currently starring in the new CW TV series Life is Wild. As such he is maybe more notable than the others who have al but disappeared since the disbandment of S Club 8.--NeilEvans 19:48, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete all and redirect back to the band's article, first copying anything in these articles that is notable and not already there to that article. A1octopus 22:37, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * That is a GFDL violation, or at least at variance with normal wikipedia practice. if information is to be merged, the history of the source article should be retained behind a redirect. This also makes it easier to reexpand should future events warrant doing so. That is why "merge" is regarded as a form of "keep", not a form of "delete". DES (talk) 16:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Junk get rid of it asap. Gives wikipedia a bad name.  Probably written by her apparently somewhat dissolutioned parents. Whatever, it has no place in an encyclopedia.
 * Note that Jay Asforis has just been merged as per the closure of the separate AfD for that article, and a place has been created during that merge to hold the info on the other members of S Club 8. This seems like a reasonable course, but i have no strong opinion on whether any of the other members are already independently notable. Note that such a merge would allow easy re-expansion/splitting if any of these people subsequently becomes notable, or additional sources are found establishing notability.

 * I have struck Asforis from the list of nominations since I closed the separate AfD on him as a merge. DES (talk) 16:43, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
