A number of editors have been edit warring over this biography (under various titles including [[Mikey way]], [[Michael James Way]] and [[Michael Way]] which I have at least temporarily all redirected to the title being discussed here) and it seems that this is best decided via a discussion such as this. I'll refrain for now from making a recommendation myself, but rather quote {{user|194.150.65.47}} from my talk page "band members who don't have notability outside of the band don't get an article but their name is redirected to the band's article" -- [[User:Edgar181|Ed]] ([[User talk:Edgar181|Edgar181]]) 17:27, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

: '''Delete/redirect''', as per [[WP:MUSIC]], ''"Note that 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."'' Most if not all of the information in the article is [[WP:FAN|fancruft]].

A number of editors have been edit warring over this biography (under various titles including Mikey way, Michael James Way and Michael Way which I have at least temporarily all redirected to the title being discussed here) and it seems that this is best decided via a discussion such as this. I'll refrain for now from making a recommendation myself, but rather quote 194.150.65.47 (talk · contribs) from my talk page "band members who don't have notability outside of the band don't get an article but their name is redirected to the band's article" -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:27, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/redirect, as per WP:MUSIC, "Note that 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." Most if not all of the information in the article is fancruft. (I removed that part about him liking unicorns and having a very limited variety of facial expressions.) --194.150.65.5 (talk) 22:52, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
