Kevin Sharp (heavy metal music singer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Pointless sub-stub article. Unreferenced apart from a link to a video of an interview, and consists solely of the statement that he plays in two bands. So it doesn't come anywhere near WP:GNG ... and it serves no other purpose. He is already linked in Kevin Sharp (disambiguation) and in both band articles (Venomous Concept & Brutal Truth) his other involvements are listed. So this page adds no content, and has no navigational purpose. Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:37, 10 March 2013 (UTC)  Keep  - Per WP:NBAND, Kevin is a member of at least 2 notable bands, Venomous Concept and Brutal Truth. How do we choose to which article to redirect Sharp? As to the others, WP:NOTINHERITED, so we consider their notability independendently. As to the redirect, Kevin Sharp (heavy metal music singer) is not a plausible search term; he should continue to be listed in Kevin Sharp (disambiguation), which can link to whichever band he is most closely associated with. If for someone reason you want to create the implausible redirect, follow the same logic: redirect to whichever band he is most closely associated with. The navigational solutions are simple, are your "keep" c!vote is invalid because you offer no evidence of Sharp's notability. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:34, 10 March 2013 (UTC) In this case, I find 17,800 ghits for and 16,500 ghits for ... so unless somebody has some contrary data, we should redirect to In Legend. There are no Gnews hits for either combnation, so on that basis, we'd be as well off tossing a coin. However, as I noted above, in this case he is already listed at the disambiguation page, and Kevin Sharp (heavy metal music singer) is not a plausible search term ... so we don't need a redirect. Just list him at the dab page. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:14, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, obvious perma-stub. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:50, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
 * IMHO, the following steps need to be taken in order:
 * Determine whether Kevin Sharp and Danny Herrera are notable
 * Determine whether or not Venomous Concept is notable
 * Determine whether or not Retroactive Abortion and Poisoned Apple are notable
 * Determine whether or not Template:Venomous Concept is notable

 * Reply A template is a navigational device; it cannot be notable. The fact that you don't understand taht suggests that yor general, grasp of the concept of notability is poor. Please read WP:N
 * Delete: He isn't notable enough to have his own article. At most it will contain info already contained at his bands' articles. MrMoustacheMM (talk) 21:12, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
 *  Reply  - Sorry, I meant whether or not Template:Venomous Concept SHOULD BE KEPT!!!
 * Again MrMoustacheMM, how do we choose to which article to redirect Sharp? --Jax 0677 (talk) 00:58, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Reply. Simple: redirect to which ever band he is most closely associated with, because that will be most helpful to the reader.
 * Kevin Sharp should continue to go to the DAB page. Not sure why we're discussing Danny Herrera here (can we please keep discussions on any one AfD confined to those particular AfDs, please?), but he should redirect to Napalm Death, his major band. (Who the hell are In Legend, and why would he redirect there?) MrMoustacheMM (talk) 16:42, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. At the moment this is redundant, given the entry at Kevin Sharp and the unlikeliness of anyone searching on this title. --Michig (talk) 07:37, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 *  Reply  - Redirects are WP:CHEAP. Additionally, as Michig said before,  "But if he was only a member of one notable band we would at least leave a redirect to the band. Leaving nothing at all because he's a member of two notable bands doesn't seem to make much sense."    So long as the articles for "Venemous Concept" and "Brutal Truth" exist , this makes Kevin a member of two notable bands.  Disambiguation pages should only have one link per line, which begs the question to which band should Kevin link?--Jax 0677 (talk) 22:18, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * To Brutal Truth, his main band. MrMoustacheMM (talk) 01:25, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
