The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Lavender Country. I'm not sure that page protection is needed at this point. Just point to this discussion and revert any attempts to re-create the article. If, at that point, it becomes an issue it can be requested. Killiondude (talk) 04:37, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Per WP:NMUSIC, "members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases" — but this offers and sources no reason whatsoever why he would need or qualify for a standalone biography separate from the band article. Of the three sources here, two are about the band rather than him, and while the third is more than trivially about him, it still addresses him in the context of the band rather than addressing any plausible notability claim independent of the band — so none of them actually support a credible reason why Haggerty and his band would need to have two separate articles. Normally I would just have redirected this, but this is now the third attempt since last June to make a standalone BLP of Haggerty happen without actually offering a reason why he would need a standalone BLP as a separate topic from the band, so I think it's time for a larger set of eyes to weigh in on this.

• Redirect to Lavender Country. Not enough evidence of notability seperate from the band to justify having a seperate article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:22, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
