Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lilly Lazer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Although I've never heard of HIM (band), if the group is deemed notable enough for an article then I suppose each of its members is. Nevertheless, this doesn't qualify as a real article about the guy. I would suggest for Cleanup but I don't know how well staffed we are for cleaning up Finnish musicians.

  • Delete: This break out is very much vanity or fanboi. The band seems to have only Wikipedia and a tab site to bolster it, but that's not under discussion. This article is uninformative and dewey eyed. Geogre 14:57, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable person and ridiculous article. RickK 19:25, Aug 14, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable outside the context of HIM (which is itself notable, however). Article reads like a bio from Seventeen and doesn't contain any information worth saving. The same goes for fellow bandmember Ville Valo's article, which is similarly content-free. Gwalla | Talk 02:25, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • See, I don't agree that if HIM is notable enough for an article, then each of its members must necessarily be article-worthy too. Not at all. But as long as staffing is the issue, surely we must be well set for cleaning up this article and the one on HIM's frontman Ville Valo listed below (a more notable guy). If you swing a cat on IRC you take out half the populations of Finland and Sweden. For instance, if one of the users going "You stupid delete-happy baboons" on the Ville Valo discussion would like to improve the articles some more (I see some work has been done), to make the notability of the subjects shine forth better, I'll gladly hold my vote till I see it.

    • If you think that someone hit by a swung cat might come forward and improve this article at some point, then perhaps we could change it to a stub ("Lilly Lazer (born August 12, 1976) is a Finnish guitarist. Since 1995 he has been a member of the band HIM." I took all that information from this article and the one on HIM (band).) I just don't want to see the present text remain as a disfigurement to Wikipedia while the article is sent on what might well be a hopeless mission to Cleanup. JamesMLane 20:17, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge into HIM (band) (who are notable and worth an article) and redirect (no need to delete, the name isn't likely to cause any contention). Ditto for Ville Valo. I'm all for individual articles for people who have been members of multiple notable bands (like Clem Burke), but it seems a bit pointless to have one for someone who hasn't. —Stormie 00:17, Aug 16, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, or merge an edited version into HIM (band). Zaelsius 14:52, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I think this should be deleted, seeing as how the person that is the main focus of the article doesn't seem to have any real relivance, other than an apparent former membership in the band Him so for that reason i suggest that if anything other than deletion this article should be merged with an article about Him should one exsist.
