Matthew Followill

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Member of a notable band. However, does not appear to have any significant solo activity outside of Kings of Leon (MUSICBIO see italics at the end), relevant information here can easily be incorporated into band article. Fixer23 (talk) 01:39, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete, per WP:MUSICBIO, Sumsum2010 · T · C  19:09, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * AFD template was missing from article; it has been added now. Peter E. James (talk) 23:51, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * This can be redirected if not notable enough for a separate article - some sources are cited and a merge of some of the information is possible. Peter E. James (talk) 23:51, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:MUSICBIO. no individual notability. LibStar (talk) 04:25, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Kings of Leon per Fixer's argument regarding WP:MUSICBIO. Wickedjacob (talk) 02:33, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Merge to Kings of Leon. he's mentioned in 1000 news sources, see some of them include him as the article's subject- see this CNN article: Kings of Leon's Matthew Followill is a dad-to-be. What I can't understand is why everybody here's voting to Delete while in all the other AfDs for the other band's members the votes lean to keep??? for example, this one: Articles_for_deletion/Caleb_Followill Dragquennom (talk) 14:39, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I've noticed that as well. Seems he's least popular? Of course he's going to be mentioned in many news sources, he's a part of Kings of Leon. That is what this discussion is about, having a child doesn't pertain to having notable solo activity outside of Leon. Fixer23 (talk) 09:03, 27 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge. Much of this info is already in the parent article, and the rest duplicates what is in his brother's article. Chick Bowen 00:45, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Kings of Leon per Chick Bowen. There is not significant third party coverage of this musician to satisfy WP:MUSICBIO and should be merged back into the group article. -Atmoz (talk) 16:49, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Kings of Leon per my comment at Articles for deletion/Jared Followill. Cunard (talk) 05:57, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
