<s>*'''Keep Individual Pages'''</s> i think these pages are up for deletion because they all sing. when you look at other bands '''coldplay''' & '''Maroon 5''' all members have individual pages while only the '''lead singers''' are '''notable''' which only strengthens the fact that One direction members are worthy of these pages which only contain personal and individual info.

Singer of questionable individual notability. Provided references are primarily about the group One Direction, not the individual. Little apparent notability outside the band or The X Factor (UK series 7) - per discussions such as Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2012 February 7#Lakoda Rayne members, I tried redirecting to the main band article, but page creator kept reverting, so bringing this here for definitive resolution.

Keep these pages are a great improvement and in removing the the huge and hideous members section it think it's great. They're personal lives will only keep growing you don't want a members section that's HUGE. main page should be about One Direction only as group. It could be a good improvement.

*Keep Individual Pages i think these pages are up for deletion because they all sing. when you look at other bands coldplay & Maroon 5 all members have individual pages while only the lead singers are notable which only strengthens the fact that One direction members are worthy of these pages which only contain personal and individual info.

  • Keep Individual Pages As they are in their first year as a band, they have yet to gain notoriety individually, yet based on pure talent and "star-quality" it is inevitable that they will. Musically, all endeavors will most likely remain band efforts, however they will be taking on more, such as Harry's newly signed modeling contract and Louis' up and coming line of boating wear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1Dfacts (talkcontribs) 05:29, 20 February 2012 (UTC) 1Dfacts (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

    Wikipedia doesn't predict the future - if they gain individual notability (notoriety is not necessary!) in the future then they will qualify for individual articles -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:16, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These articles are now edited for only individual info. these articles may not seem much now but let them grow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdabowtheSecond (talkcontribs) 03:01, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Pages must stay. These boys are making a statement in the world and impacting many people. They are gaining popularity quickly all around the world and their pages will need to be filled soon because they will be achieving great things. Each member is equally important in the group and should be given a page to show each one's accomplishments and genuine qualities that I know people such as teen girls care about.

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 17:34, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that they should be kept because these boys are now part of a famous band and people have the right to learn about them. They should be able to share their story with the rest of the world.I feel that each person has enough written about them to make it worth having a page that tells people who they are. Also they are growing in popularity which means as time progresses they will have more information to be added about them which means it would be pointless to delete these profiles when they will only be remade in a few weeks or months time. It would be far more efficient to keep the current pages and then just keep them up to date as time passes. --penfold97 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Penfold97 (talkcontribs) This template must be substituted.
  • In no way should these pages be delted. Individually and as a whole, One Direction is a popular band and continues to gain popularity on a daily basis. If either of these pages got deleted, I'd be happy to provide a list of other pages that should be as well. Because a Wikipedia page on anal piercing is stupid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.194.138.142 (talk) This template must be substituted.
  • Redirect to band article. As an avid, avid, AVID music fan, I took a look to see how much info I could uncover on all of them. BBC, LastFM, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Spin (and others) have no info on any of them except for DOB, appeared on X-Factor and are members of One Direction. I have no doubt whatsoever their popularity will continue to grow and eventually, one or more will be featured in a major music publication or major tabloid. For now however, they are not notable individually. Ken Tholke (talk) 22:42, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and redirect to One Direction, not notable enough to warrant separate articles for all of the band members. Anything useful in these could be easily merged into the main article or re-added by other editors later.  dalahäst (let's talk!) 07:14, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and redirect to One Direction per above, no need to repeat the same things.Cavarrone (talk) 08:08, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I may be against the trend here, but these lads seem to be covered by Entertainers #2 Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following. A simple Google search shows plenty of fan interest in them as individuals, not just the activities of the band. One might argue the interpretation of what it means to be "encyclopaedic", however that is a question for the definition of the notability criteria rather than these biographic articles. -- (talk) 10:07, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I don't know much at all about this musician, but we need to be conscious of setting a precedent. If we remove this page, why not remove members of most bands - who generally aren't notable? I think we should keep and ask for improvements to the article. This individual also passes Wikipedia's Entertainers guidelines. --Filastin (talk) 10:47, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the Entertainer's guidelines makes them "iffy" IMHO, as "significant cult following" is rather subjective. Using the Musician's guidelines makes things a bit more clear-cut I think. Ken Tholke (talk) 11:07, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Over 25,000 people had a helping hand with Apollo 11 making it to the moon and back, should we have an article for each one of them simply because they were part of that group?. Where does the line get drawn? The nomination (the article has a "page not found" associated with one of its 3 references, btw), tha award, the chart position are all for the group, not the individuals. Ken Tholke (talk) 12:38, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect because it's still seem irrelevant for them outside the One Direction and basically they share the same news professionally so it makes nothing different if they just has one wiki page.--Syukri Abd Rahman (talk) 13:41, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think that members One Direction are already known enough as their own person rather than fully associated with the group. They are known in countries around the world and these pages would prove to attract a lot of traffic. I also agree that there needs to be constancy among bands and their members having pages and I firmly believe that the average person is more accustomed to the members of One Direction than of other bands whose members have individual pages. Pippabobby (talk) 17:29, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect all. No evidence of notability outside of One Direction, so I don't see the need for any of them to have stand-alone articles. Obviously, that would change if any of them release solo albums or start doing other significant work outside the band (e.g., TV acting). —C.Fred (talk) 00:09, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
