Shane Filan

Members must demonstrate notability outside the band, as required by WP:MUSIC. All of the others have been involved in other projects - Shane has not. Ironholds (talk) 14:19, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

You can just reply here - I'll get the message. Nicky qualifies under the guidelines for athletes, oddly, because of his (short) football career - Mark because his "coming out" got significant coverage in the press. Shane's company itself isn't notable, so that doesn't work, and his individual compositions aren't really enough. WP:MUSIC requires members of bands to establish "individual notability" - essentially if they weren't in Westlife, would they pass the guidelines? Ironholds (talk) 14:53, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
