This article was mislisted on Redirects for discussion. The nominator -- User:G-macscot (talk) -- is citing reasons for speedy deletion but, since I wasn't sure exactly what they wanted since they seemed to be confused by the process, I've decided to list this in an RfD instead so others can talk about this first. The original nominator said:


 * Not notable article, no verifiable resources, possible bias/non-point of view, flagged for deletion for violation of policies A1 and A4. (links added).

The article was marked with just about every problem template including many related to NPOV which I couldn't understand and removed from that article. I've tried to clean things up as much as I could before reposting this here.

Finally, don't take my posting this here as an endorsement one way or another or an argument to delete. I know nothing about Gordon McNeil and am not arguing for its inclusion or deletion one way or another. I'm just trying to make sure this ends up getting discussed in the right place. — m a k o ๛  18:52, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Gun (band) - I don't see any notability apart from being in that notable band. JohnCD (talk) 19:32, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for moving this to the right place. I wasn't exactly sure of the correct procedures. I just found it very strange to have an entire article dedicated to a person with only 3 and a half lines of text on the page. Doesn't seem like an appropriate topic to have an entire page dedicated to the subject, and 4 links to social networking sites at the bottom. Seems to be more of a self-promo/PR page than anything else. Agree with JohnCD's suggestion above - move mention of the subject into the Gun (Band) article.

 * Delete or merge with Gun (Band) article. The subject has not done anything notable outside of this band, and I don't think merits a full WP article. Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider, social networking, or memorial site. I don't think the subject qualifies under the WP:Music Music Policy. 3 lines of text about an individual member of a band should not be given a full WP article. Thanks.

 * Redirect to Gun (band). Seems to be a band member with no notability in his own right. Robofish (talk) 21:52, 16 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Gun (band) - there doesn't appear to be notability outside of this -- Whpq (talk) 17:14, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
