List of Nightwish band members

 * Nominator(s): DreamNight (talk) 19:58, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because it seems to be in accordance with the requirements, with a short bio of the members (current and former), image for each one, and a complet list with the main guests. DreamNight (talk) 19:58, 2 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - This seems better suited to the featured list process. Steve Smith (talk) 20:05, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment - with only seven members (guest musicians are by definition not members, so I'd query why they're on here anyway), surely this isn't long enough for a FL.........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:35, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * What do you suggest? Erase the "Guests" section?DreamNight (talk) 19:16, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I think what Chris is saying is that this is a list of band members and therefore really should contain only seven items, and therefore would not typically be considered long enough for a featured list per WP:WIAFL criterion 3. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:41, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * That's correct, guest musicians who played on the band's albums aren't members of the band and therefore should not be listed. Existing Featured "band member" lists like List of Megadeth band members don't include them.  Unfortunately this will then leave the list at just seven items, almost certainly too short for a FL per WP:WIAFL..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:17, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
