procedural nomination&mdash;version brought to AFD: Found PROD-nominated despite prior trip to AFD; consider diff between AFD-closed and PROD-nominated versions. PROD nominator stated "Not notable enough on his own to have his own page. Possibly merge to A1 (band)." I would tend to agree with the merger proposal, but that is an editorial decision that didn't require PROD-nom, unfortunately. User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 04:25, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - Just like the last AfD (nominated by the user who prod'd here), specifically Nenyedi's argument. &mdash; Dihydrogen Monoxide 04:36, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No sources, so it fails WP:V (making me wonder how the heck it survived a previous AFD).  TJ   Spyke   06:47, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment as a member of an award winning, chart topping popular music band, it passes my notbility bar, verification is not, in and of itself, a reason for deletion. The nominator recognises a possible merge (which is an editorial decision) which would keep data, therefore Keep for improvement.--Alf melmac 08:47, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to A1 (band); individual members of a band are not inherently notable. Although this page does assert individual notability (co-writing songs for other artists), I can't verify that he's done so. (The promotional tone is also very inappropriate.) What little verifiable info there is on him can be merged to the main A-1 article. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 18:05, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect or delete Winning awards and being a member of a pop group with no other notability on his own is not a reason for inclusion. Dr Tobias Funke (talk) 22:04, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect - trivial media coverage. Addhoc (talk) 00:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
