Non-notable musician. See the discussion of Lilly Lazer above. RickK 19:31, Aug 14, 2004 (UTC)


 * He's well-known as the frontman, is enormously popular in Europe, has a notable solo career. I'd vote to keep him when I wouldn't vote to keep other members of HIM, as people who don't know the band well might still know/recognize him as its frontman.. Rhymeless 19:40, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Definitely notable. The article needs major clean-up though. Yardcock 21:02, Aug 14, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Non-notable? :) You stupid delete-happy baboons. --Lussmu 23:38, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * You seem eager to make personal attacks, as evidenced on your User page. Why would you bother coming here, if the English Wikipedia is so beneath you?  Personal attacks are not acceptable, you might want to rethink your approach.
 * Delete, same reason as Lizzy Lazer. At best, redirect to HIM (band). Content is fannish ephemera: favorite color, favorite food? Come on.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 02:49, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect to HIM (band). Wile E. Heresiarch 08:48, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. And don't redirect. "Non-notable"? What an insult to Mr. Valo bbx 10:44, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Why should we care what his favorite color is? RickK 21:28, Aug 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * Just remove that part then. Keep the article. bbx 23:49, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * I said my say on the Lilly Lazer discussion above: if some of you insulted fans would like to continue to improve these articles (I see some work has been done), I'll vote after the fact. Bishonen 19:44, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * As I voted on Lilly Lazer, merge into HIM (band) and redirect (and I'm a HIM fan, so this is not a biased vote by a "stupid delete-happy baboon"). &mdash;Stormie 00:21, Aug 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * keep (and improve). perhaps the problem with this discussion is that the guy has achieved an encyclopedic level of popstardom, but so far seemingly only outside the U.S. (Oh btw, I'm not a HIM fan at all.) regards, High on a tree 15:37, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. He is a notable musician (I'm also not a fan). The page has to be improved though. --Sac 04:36, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * His sole claim to notability appears to be his membership in the band. The article for HIM (band) still has plenty of room.  Merge and redirect until there is a reason to break the main article apart. Rossami 23:44, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
