Is yikes a reason? :) Vanity. Fancruft. Fails Notability guidelines and also the google test. Please kill. --Woohookitty 21:04, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well it's not vanity in that it was not written by him. He's notable in that he is a member of Simple Plan, which is rather famous if rather crappy Good Charlotte-esque band from Quebec. I suppose it is crufty in that it was written by what seems like a typical Simple Plan fan. But I will say keep and just clean it up. Adam Bishop 21:07, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Merge what little intelligible and non-trivial content there is into Simple Plan and redirect. "Yikes" is right. android↔talk 21:28, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. I'd agree with a merge, but I'll let the vote stay. --Woohookitty 21:43, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• We seem to have an awful lot of articles on these people... I'm not sure whether they're all notable. Didn't we have another one on VFD recently? Mgm|^(talk) 21:47, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
  • strange, maybe one of us with lots of free time needs to cull through that list. Seems rather unlikely to me that all those people would be notable and share that odd surname. They might be non-notable or even fake, so someone really needs to crawl through and Vfd without mercy. Master Thief Garrett 02:26, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Are you guys kidding? It's hardly an odd surname; it's the French language equivalent (both in meaning and in frequency) to "Smith". Bearcat 03:35, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • OH! I did not know that. "It's Greek to me"... Thanks for that, that's very interesting...! Master Thief Garrett 22:33, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • In addition, each of the members of Simple Plan appear to have their own articles. The one for Charles Comeau is slightly more intelligible than this one, but I don't understand why we need to know how tall Chuck is. I have merged the content from those articles into Simple Plan. I will, of course, save the redirect of this article until the VfD is closed. android↔talk 03:29, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to simple plan. Meelar (talk) 23:28, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
• After looking at the article some more, I agree with the merge/redirect vote. Adam Bishop 23:53, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge/Redirect to Simple Plan. Master Thief Garrett 02:26, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, reads like trivial cruft. Megan1967 04:32, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge/Redirect to Simple Plan. --Spinboy 06:11, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. He's a perfectly notable member of a perfectly notable band. This is mad. I think I'm ending up an inclusionist again. Ambi 08:13, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Ambi Kappa 13:39, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand band is notable, so should be its members. Circeus 18:15, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)

Merge and redirect. We can recreate a separate article if he ever does anything important outside of his current band. Academic Challenger 00:36, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Merge as above. Radiant_* 11:02, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. Member of popular band. Capitalistroadster 04:31, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect. Based on the evidence available so far, his notability is solely derived from the band. He should be discussed in context until and unless he does something independently notable. Rossami (talk) 04:50, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• keep please dont kill this Yuckfoo 16:28, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep members of notable bands. Grue 18:10, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect as per the comments made by Academic Challenger. Zzyzx11 | Talk 18:19, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Cleanup, then keep per Ambi, Circeus (although I could imagine some bands who were just notable enough, but not their members, Simple Plan are a huge commercial success), Capitalistroadster and Grue. Samaritan 19:44, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
