== Middle names will be restored ==

===Malik===
A trustworthy source has been found for Maliks' middle, birth name @Ancestry.com here is the source
*it is him as his mother last (maiden) name: Brannan(her maiden name is already sourced on his bio) is given under his birth name
*the birth index is in his birth year
*everyone has been speculating and saying jawaad or javadd so searched under and Zain Javadd Malik with as extra his mother maiden name: Brannan it can't be anyone else
* here is the source: [http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gl=ROOT_CATEGORY&rank=1&new=1&so=3&MSAV=0&msT=1&gss=ms_r_f-2_s&gsfn=Zain+Javadd&gsln=Malik&mswpn__ftp=Bradford%2C+Lancashire%2C+England&mswpn=1668500&mswpn_PInfo=8-%7C0%7C0%7C3257%7C3251%7C0%7C0%7C0%7C5271%7C1668500%7C0%7C&msbdy=1993&MSFMC=1&msmns0=Brannan&sbo=0&uidh=ym6 Zain Javadd Malik at Ancestry.uk]
*You can click for more info on him (birth place and stuff) but then you pay money via credit card

So his real official birth name is : '''Zain Javadd Malik''' based on the UK trustworthy archive and not the untrustworty sites like: twitter,facebook,tumblr,fanwebsites. [[User:AdabowtheSecond|AdabowtheSecond]] ([[User talk:AdabowtheSecond|talk]]) 22:11, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

== Harry Styles ==

Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson all need to have their own individual page because they are very famous and are even more famous than the people who have been in the fame for years.
The Harry Styles/Caroline Flack controversy should be added.

== Completely Wrong: One Direction is a US Band? ==

Shouldn't this article be about One Direction (the band?). Well I think this article is a case of mistaken identity. One Direction is a current US based band. <ref>http://onedirectionusa.com/</ref>
It is comprised of:
- SEAN O'LEARY - LEAD SINGER, PIANIST
- ISAIAH CHAVEZ-PICKETT - LEAD GUITAR
- SCOTT NAGAREDA - BASS GUITAR
- ADAM DAVIS - DRUMS
I don't understand where this 'One Direction' this article talks about comes from or their significance? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/120.144.141.174|120.144.141.174]] ([[User talk:120.144.141.174|talk]]) 13:42, 20 April 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== RfC: Should members of One Direction have stand-alone biography articles? ==

Individual biography articles have previously been merged with the article about the One Direction [[boy band]], though sub-sections that exist for each member are longer and better sourced than the bodies of many popular biography articles. Is the sourced material about the lives of Niall, Zayn, Liam, Harry and Louis, substantial enough to be encyclopaedic, or would creating separate articles be promoting unfortunate [[WP:fancruft|fancruft]]? Thanks --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 22:48, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

*I think each of the boys need their own wiki page. They are all famous enough now and they deserve it. On their pages, you CAN include that they are part of the group but they have their own achievements too. [[User:Samina82497|Samina82497]] ([[User talk:Samina82497|talk]]) 22:32, 30 April 2012 (UTC)Samina

*If the band itself is notable enough for inclusion in wikipedia, then I would presume its members are '''also notable enough for their own pages''', and having glanced over the article, I would suggest that may well be a good idea, since the band's article should be a bio of the ''band'', not each individual member's life. [[User:GabeMc| — GabeMc]] ([[User talk:GabeMc|talk]]) 02:07, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

*'''Yes''' i have been told that they do not deserve individual articles as they are notable as individuals --- if you see births from 1990 you will countless articles with less info, untrustworthy info, not sourced properly, and articles that are stubs, for example
:[[Spencer Achtymichuk]], [[Endogan Adili]]], [[Nik Adruce]], [[Maria-Laura Aga]], [[Alexander Agate]], [[Sara Aghai]], [[Nashla Aguilar]] does anybody know them '''No''' do they get mainstream coverage everyday '''No''' if i stand correctly in google news if you type harry styles you will get 150 articles from independent websites just about how he stepped in his new car.

:another example the least popular member of the group [[Liam Payne]] has the lowest twitter statistics of group he gains 20,000 followers per day see his [http://twittercounter.com/ twitter statics] a feat 99% of the people with individual articles of category births 1993 don't have this by far. And their is enough info in the members section for a individual page. I still have a copy of all 5 individual pages (on Word on my pc) before they were taken down again here is how one would look like based on info which is cited in members section. here is Styles page the '''only section in the page that is same as the others is the one direction section''' which is only a small brief section: early and personal, x factor time, influences all are different then the others, here is styles example the way the article is written is based on Coldplay's [[Chris Martin]]'s article so here is one of them i added extra = to every section since it on the talk page [[User:AdabowtheSecond|AdabowtheSecond]] ([[User talk:AdabowtheSecond|talk]]) 02:45, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

*:*Looking through those examples, I see only people that have done work outside of their band or that are solo performers (i.e, the band article and the individual article are the same thing). If there are contrary examples, I'll happily take them through AFD for you. This isn't some kind of merit badge or award, it's a matter of not having articles that have enormous amounts of overlap.

::::Kww accurately states our rule. Personally, I'm not sure it makes sense, but we have fairly consistently kept to it.

I'd be very reluctant to make an exception to one of the few rules about notability that is so generally accepted, and even more reluctant to propose a change in it.

*'''Possibly?....''' (''on a per-member basis''): I mean, of course it should follow WP:MUSICBIO &mdash; I'm not arguing against it &mdash; but I would argue for perhaps a separate article on Harry due to the coverage on his [[Age disparity in sexual relationships|May-December]] romance (not to mention him being under 18 at the time). Beyond that.... Due to their popular status, the members are getting an insane amount of coverage as individuals (I guess right now it's Zayn's turn?) so on that basis member articles may pass [[WP:N]].

The One Direction article is getting out of hand with the length due to the members' information etc. I mean I can't imagine how uncomfortable for a reader it would be to go through those five blocks of info. Plus all five appear to meet the GNG. Individual pages seems appropriate and more convenient not only for editors but readers from outside.

*'''if''' one of the members would play lets say an instrument (credited) in some elses album would receive their own individual article?? [[User:AdabowtheSecond|AdabowtheSecond]] ([[User talk:AdabowtheSecond|talk]]) 13:54, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
:*That ''alone'' wouldn't do it, but it would certainly be a part of the discussion.&mdash;[[User:Kww|Kww]]([[User talk:Kww|talk]]) 15:38, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

*comment so kww you say only playing an instrument on some ones albums is not enough. However a band member of coldplay Guy Berryman as an individual page since 2007 and he has only done One said thing. Just goes to show how broken WP is when it comes to guidelines. Not to mention he has no mainstream coverage,his article is stubby , and know one knows his name now tell me i'm wrong [[User:AdabowtheSecond|AdabowtheSecond]] ([[User talk:AdabowtheSecond|talk]]) 17:40, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Oops i meant [[Will Champion]] is the one with only said with thing with individual article since 2007[[User:AdabowtheSecond|AdabowtheSecond]] ([[User talk:AdabowtheSecond|talk]]) 18:01, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

*'''No''' per MUSICBIO. The main argument that I'm seeing thus far appears to be "If (x) exists, in my opinion a subject deemed to be less popular than (y), and (y) does not have an article of its own, then (y) must be allowed to have its own article." That doesn't fly, per [[WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS|OTHER]], in my opinion. The fact that 150+ individual websites choose to carry a story about a member of the band and his car is irrelevant. Is that truly newsworthy or does it fall under the umbrella of "gossip" or tabloid journalism? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not the ''National Enquirer''.

*'''Yes''' - obviously, some of them are among the most notable people born in the 1990s. If there is such a rule (no articles for band members not notable outside band), then the rule is stupid (unquestionably), makes no sense, and should be ignored as often as possible.

:''"some of them are among the most notable people born in the 1990s."'' Says whom? There is, in fact, such a rule in place. It is covered under [[WP:MUSICBIO|MUSICBIO]]. --[[User:Strikerforce|<font color="3333cc">'''Striker'''</font><font color="330099">'''force'''</font>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Strikerforce|<font color="3333cc">Talk</font>]] [[Wikipedia:Editor_review/Strikerforce|<font color="3333cc">Review me!</font>]]</sup> 21:17, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
::I would say it is said by common sense. Take a look at [[:Category:1994 births]] and tell me honestly [[Harry Styles]] wouldn't be among the top 10 most notable people born that year. As for that rule, good for it that it exists. Now let's ignore it and maybe it'll go away. I am tired of stupid rules written by people who don't understand what they are doing, and which are destructive to Wikipedia. This is a perfect case. Ignore the rule. Pretend you never saw it.

*'''No''' – I understand (from various above) that they may not be individually notable per MUSICBIO and although it's possible that they will appear prominently in the media as ''individuals'' in the near future, it is not certain. Until they begin to have individuals careers/appearances or suddenly become [[philanthropist]]s, all that will be covered in the media (and anywhere for that matter) is gossip/fancruft. It has been interesting watching this article grow over the past few months, but when this RfC started I remember thinking how full of junk each members' biography was on the article ([[Talk:One_Direction#excessive_gushing_removed.2C_unfortunately_restored|thanks to Till I Go Home]] for helping out with that a bit). Adding such fan material to their biographies only downgrades the article's quality and focus on the group as a whole, making their actual ''music'' seem less important. (And it's not like they're bad singers when they're together, so that's unfortunate.) Therefore, I would be concerned that each of their individual articles would erupt into [[WP:WHIM|an indiscriminate collection of information]], whereas the gossip on each can be controlled more easily if all are located solely on this article. So currently, as a fan, I respectively think "not yet". – [[User:Jonadin93|Jonadin93]] ([[User_talk:Jonadin93|talk]]) 06:27, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
*'''No''' - If I stumbled across any articles on individual members, I would seriously consider nominating it to merge with One Direction. If it already happened, it was for a reason. Most of the content is gossip, when there is more substance, maybe. Per Jonadin93, not yet. Per Kww, no [[WP:MUSICBIO]].

::Grayfell are you referring to the example individual articles which are given below or the actual current [[One Direction#Members]] section if the latter could you point out which sentences, thanks [[User:AdabowtheSecond|AdabowtheSecond]] ([[User talk:AdabowtheSecond|talk]]) 18:47, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
:::Sorry, that was an awkward paragraph on my part. I was specifically referring to the members section of the current article. The example articles are much better formatted, but I still don't see anything that currently warrants individual articles. There is simply too much indiscriminate info in them. Most content in each section of the examples is trivial or redundant with the main article, and should be paired down to one or two sentences each, if that.[[User:Grayfell|Grayfell]] ([[User talk:Grayfell|talk]]) 20:42, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

;===Music career===
;====''The X Factor''====
In 2010, Styles auditioned for ''The X Factor'' with "[[Isn't She Lovely]]", receiving positive comments from two of the three judges, with [[Louis Walsh]] having doubts on whether he was ready to progress in the competition. At boot camp, he sang "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" before being rejected and put into One Direction.

Styles came up with band name '''One Direction''', because he thought it would sound good when ''X Factor'' announcer Peter Dickson read their name out on the live shows. [[Louis Tomlinson]] added "Harry texted us to ask what we thought and it was one of those were we all just said, 'Yes' straight away. We all entered the competition with one thing in mind and that was to go to the top, so it worked. And it can be abbreviated to 1D!"<ref>http://www.thehothits.com/artists/6069/one-direction/bio</ref> Styles said that ''The X Factor'' gave him a lot more confidence.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/3817326/One-Direction-Chart-stars-in-their-own-words.html |title=One Direction: Chart stars in their own words &#124; The Sun &#124;Showbiz&#124;Bizarre |publisher=The Sun |date=2011-09-16 |accessdate=2012-03-17}}</ref>

Styles, Malik, [[Louis Tomlinson]], [[Niall Horan]] and [[Liam Payne]] signed a record deal with [[Syco Records]]. On being signed Styles said: On being signed Styles said: "We wanted to win and coming third was a big disappointment. So to find out we were signed was incredible. [[Simon Cowell]] was telling you your life was about to change! It was weird. Coming from our first audition to being signed by [[Syco]] is a huge journey".<ref>http://www.thehothits.com/artists/6069/one-direction/bio</ref> The band has had international fame and success, releasing their debut album ''[[Up All Night (One Direction album)|Up All Night]]'', in 2011.

"We want to have a little bit heavier guitars, bigger drums, more of a live feel, because that’s what we like doing," Styles says for their next album, though he says that shouldn’t be misinterpreted to mean the group is going “grungier". Because we are 18 years old, it's important that we like what we’re doing as well,: says Styles.

He described himself as a "naughty boy at school", at school he tried for teams, eventually trying out for the cross-country team, coming first "From then on I was training all the time and getting up at 6am to run for miles. At the age of 12 they put me in the school's under-18s team." Payne was bullied in school and took up boxing lessons, saying he "needed to find a way to defend myself, I was, at 12 years old, fighting the 38-year-old trainer.

Payne had auditioned in 2008 to ''The X Factor''s fifth series when he was fourteen.

In 2010, Payne came back and auditioned again singing "[[Cry Me a River]]", receiving a standing ovation from the audience and Simon Cowell. At boot camp, he sang "[[Stop Crying Your Heart Out]]" before being rejected and put into One Direction. On the experience, Payne says: "Normally when you put together a band they have some time to go away and do development but we had to do that on a live competition, in front of 20 million people. If you make a mistake in front of an audience like that, you get voted out. We had no room for error whatsoever. We had to grow up very, very fast."<ref>http://www.thehothits.com/artists/6069/one-direction/bio</ref>

He said growing up he always wanted a little brother, but having four younger sisters growing up taught him about woman. He added, "having that many sisters has definitely helped me with children too, people always comment on how comfortable I am around kids. I absolutely love babies and kids." He also revealed that he went through a "seriously dodgy clothes phase when I was about 13. I used to wear jeans and England shirts and looked a proper chav." Daisy and Phoebe had roles as babies on a show called [[Fat Friends]], he would go along and serve as an extra, after Fat Friends he attended an acting school in [[Barnsley]]. He had small parts in an [[ITV1]] drama called ''[[If I Had You (film)|If I Had You]]'', and [[BBC]]'s ''[[Waterloo Road (TV series)|Waterloo Road]]''

He was a [[sixth form]] student at [[Hall Cross School]], a state comprehensive school, and a former pupil of [[the Hayfield School]]. He revealed that he failed his first year of A levels at the Hayfield School, "mainly because I’d been too busy having fun. I was out all the time in that first year". He ended up going back to Hall Cross and started A levels over again. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/3817326/One-Direction-Chart-stars-in-their-own-words.html |title=One Direction: Chart stars in their own words &#124; The Sun &#124;Showbiz&#124;Bizarre |publisher=The Sun |date=2011-09-16 |accessdate=2012-03-17}}</ref> As a student at Hall Cross, Tomlinson starred in several musical productions.<ref>{{cite web|author=Published on Tuesday 19 October 2010 09:49 |url=http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/family_album_reveals_my_boy_really_has_got_the_x_factor_1_2966862 |title=Family album reveals my boy really has got the X Factor - News |publisher=The Star |date=2010-10-19 |accessdate=2012-03-17}}</ref>

;===Music career===
;====''The X Factor''====
In 2010, Tomlinson auditioned as solo candidate for the [[The X Factor (UK series 7)|seventh series]] of ''[[The X Factor (UK)|The X Factor]]''. Tomlinson auditioned for ''The X Factor'' with the song "Hey There Delilah", receiving votes from all three judges. At bootcamp, he sang "Make You Feel My Love" before being rejected and put into One Direction. Regarding his time on ''The X Factor'' he said, {{cquote|"We were given five minutes to make up our mind and we all said 'Do you want to do it?', everyone said yeah, and that was it. There was no question, go home as a solo or stay in as a group'. "We were gutted when we didn't win. But then we just started to reflect on it and we thought, we were the last group there, the youngest in the competition, and we didn't even know each other months ago. And when you look at it like that, we did really well. Some people say ''X Factor'''s an easy ride and a queue jump to fame. But we came from nothing, and had no experience as a group at all. And for me, by the time we came to the end of the show, we were a completely different group. We worked so hard, and achieved so much."<ref>http://www.thehothits.com/artists/6069/one-direction/bio</ref> |15px|15px|}}
;====One Direction====
{{Main|One Direction}}
After the final of seventh series of ''The X Factor'' member [[Zayn Malik]] said, that One Direction "would definitely continue on as a band". Tomlinson, Malik, [[Harry Styles]], [[Niall Horan]] and [[Liam Payne]] signed a record deal with [[Syco Records]]. The band has had international fame and success, releasing their debut album ''[[Up All Night (One Direction album)|Up All Night]]'', in 2011.

He said that Williams was his idol growing up. In an interview with ''[[Now Magazine]]'' he said he was starstruck when he met Williams in 2010 on ''The X Factor''. "I've always loved Robbie. "He's just so cheeky, he can get away with anything. His performances are unbelievable. We met a lot of celebrities on The X Factor and he was one of the nicest."<ref>http://entertainment.stv.tv/tv/266688-one-directions-louis-tomlinson-is-a-fan-of-robbie-williams/</ref> He also cites [[Ed Sheeran]], describing the artist as "phenomenal".<ref>{{cite web|author=Published Sunday, 16 Oct 2011, 13:19 BST |url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a345784/one-direction-name-debut-album-up-all-night-reveal-cover.html |title=One Direction name debut album 'Up All Night', reveal cover - Music News |publisher=Digital Spy |date=16 October 2011 |accessdate=2012-03-21}}</ref> He as well as other members of One Direction further notes artists such as [[Bruno Mars]], as a "dream collaborator".<ref>http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/backbeat/backbeat-one-direction-s-harry-styles-gets-1006576552.story</ref> In an interview he cited pop superstar [[Michael Jackson]] as a "real inspiration" saying, "I am a big Michael Jackson fan.

:I'm sorry, but since when is a band's tour manager considered a relevant individual for an encyclopedia article about that band?Would Higgins be considering notable, on his own? My initial answer would be no.

== excessive gushing removed, unfortunately restored ==

I tried to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=One_Direction&diff=492358872&oldid=492357548 eliminate the accumulation of fan trivia in the article], but, unfortunately, my edit was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=One_Direction&diff=492358872&oldid=492357548 immediately reverted without discussion]. Apparently, some editors feel that information about tattoos, baby carriages, and teen girlfriends is crucial to our understanding of the band. Personally, I'd rather get rid of the [[Tiger Beat]] feel to the article and return to being an encyclopedia.&mdash;[[User:Kww|Kww]]([[User talk:Kww|talk]]) 14:21, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

isn't tiger beat filled with gossip and speculation unlike the sections. th epart about malik as a child gives more background and detail of him, relationships should stay as relationships are always cited see [[Taylor Swift#Personal life]] - [[Katy Perry#Personal life]] just because their teens you don't add it Payne as been in relationship for almost 2 years now. Influences should stay period, see [[Madonna]], [[Rihanna]], [[Katy Perry]], [[Lady Gaga]] why would you remove that -- it is all sourced. and the tattoos [[Rihanna]]'s article cites it why cant his section cite it [[User:AdabowtheSecond|AdabowtheSecond]] ([[User talk:AdabowtheSecond|talk]]) 19:03, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
:Yes, it's full of gossip, such as detailed listings of tattoos and excitement over romantic involvement. None of these things is particularly meaningful in the context of an article about the band. The sourcing for these events is generally from very fannish sources as well. It demeans the article to include it.&mdash;[[User:Kww|Kww]]([[User talk:Kww|talk]]) 20:46, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

kww yes i think the article shoud about the band like the take that, coldplay, the beatles articles but they do not individual article therefore i think its okay to document [[User:AdabowtheSecond|AdabowtheSecond]] ([[User talk:AdabowtheSecond|talk]]) 21:58, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

*I have removed some of the redundant and unnecessary information. I would consider "disruptive editing" if the edits are reverted. This is an encyclopedia, not a fansite. [[User:Till I Go Home|''Till I Go Home'']] ([[User talk:Till I Go Home|talk]]) 08:14, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
