Lianne Morgan

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete - Fails WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC. Not even worth a redirect to Spice Girls, as she's hardly the equivelant of the Fifth Beatle. Dalejenkins | 19:35, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect - why not just redirect this to Spice Girls or something? Somebody obviously thought she was notable at the time this article was created, and she was a one-time member of the group before it became well-known. If someone wants to enter her name into a search, let them find the article about the Spice Girls, where she should be mentioned - a sentence or two there should cover it.

 * Just to point out that the above user is a frequent editor of the article in question. Dalejenkins | 19:56, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Erm, I've edited it three times, mostly to revert vandalism, and the last of my edits was in June. Hardly a frequent contributor. However, it's probably worth mentioning that the article's creator appears to have auditioned for the group at one stage and created several articles apparently relating to fellow auditionees. A possible conflict of interest issue perhaps. Having said that, I still think it's probably worth having a redirect. TheRetroGuy (talk) 20:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * How does that nullify his argument? Zagalejo^^^ 21:18, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It doesn't. I think I was just a bit put out by Dalejenkins's note after my initial comments yesterday and wanted to demonstrate my impartiality. While looking through the page's history, I discovered who had created it and I felt it was probably worth noting it on this page because there could be a conflict of interest. I wondered whether the people concerned (including Ms Morgan herself) were friends of this person. I don't believe Lianne Morgan is notable enough for her own article, but redirects are always a useful thing to have, especially as she was a member of the group. So I see no reason not to redirect this to Spice Girls. TheRetroGuy (talk) 13:53, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * In case it wasn't clear, I was responding to Dalejenkins. I'm fine with a redirect. Zagalejo^^^ 18:26, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No worries. Apologies for the mix up. TheRetroGuy (talk) 18:40, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. It all hinges on the Daily Mail article to prove notability. I don't think that is good enough on its own, and Google has nothing else in RS that I can see, so I vote delete. I have no objection to a redirect being made. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:50, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep/Redirect She actually has been the subject of several newspaper articles, so a case could be made to keep an independent article. But I could live with just a redirect to Spice Girls. Zagalejo^^^ 21:18, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete has not been the subject of non-trivial published works (a vanity article in the Daily Mail is trivial), the Spice Girls may have had a chartered hit; she hasn't, she has not had a "gold record", no albums, not an award winner, has not placed in a major music competition, has not performed for notable media or placed on a rotation and has not been broadcast for half-an-hour or more on national radio/television. Therefore, she fails the WP:MUSIC test. What is she supposedly notable for - not getting in the Spice Girls? Sounds like one event to me (if not doing something can be classified as an event). ~ Ame I iorate U T C @ 22:22, 31 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Spice_Girls. Not notable enough for her own article per WP:BIO per WP:MUSIC.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 23:09, 31 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect as she is mildly notable. What harm does it do? Paul Largo (talk) 11:44, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Just foind the following links and . She apparently had a minor chart hit a few years before joining the Spice Girls. Paul Largo (talk) 18:02, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
