Mark Hamilton (bassist)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Insufficient evidence that Hamilton is sufficiently notable (apart from his band Ash to merit a stand alone article. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:09, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete, or Redirect to Ash (band) if anyone is concerned about alternatives to deletion. The difference might depend on the likelihood of this title being used as a search term in light of the Mark Hamilton disambiguation page. Like the nominator, I can find no evidence that this Mark Hamilton has done anything notable outside of his main band. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 01:33, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: I don't know if it's worth merging the one notable fact about Hamilton into the band's article first, but Doomsdayer520 is correct, he hasn't done anything outside of the band, and there are also a guitarist and two singers of the same name with Wikipedia articles, so this article should be deleted, redirected or merged (yes, I'm sitting on the fence, I haven't decided which one I would choose yet).

 * His youngest-ever appearance at the festival is possibly notable, but it was still as a member of Ash. I have added that fact to the band's article, so there is no need for an official merge process. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 16:56, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Redirect to Ash (band) – now that the one piece of notable information about Hamilton is in the band's article, I think this can now be redirected there. Ash have been a very popular band in the UK and Ireland over the last 25 years, and Hamilton is well enough known as the band's bass player that he's a plausible search term.

 * I initially floated the idea to delete, but redirect has emerged as the best option and I'm cool with that. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:18, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
