[edit] Robert Hardy (bassist)

The page Robert Hardy (bassist) appears to be a vanity page and should be deleted.

• No it isn't. Speedy keep. FF are a world-famous band. Morwen - Talk 16:12, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Morwen. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 16:18, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. FF is a well-known band. Ken 16:20, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Doesn't look like vanity. Multiple editors, and the band appears legit, even though they're not known in my corner of the world. Friday 16:21, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Franz Ferdinand (band). FF is very notable, but Hardy isn't notable outside of the context of the band (or at least the article doesn't make that clear). All of the information in the article relates to the band's formation and rightly belongs there. If Hardy is notable for being something other than the bassist of a hit band, or if someone writes a long, verified, and interesting bio of this guy, then I can see it as its own article. Otherwise, it's a misplaced story with a goofy picture. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 16:30, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this article and that stupid picture. Nothing here that can't be covered in the FF article. Gamaliel 16:45, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and replace with a sentence or two in the FF article as per Gamaliel. Thryduulf 16:50, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Morwen. Qwghlm 17:23, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Morwen but ditch the picture which makes it difficult to take this article seriously. 23skidoo 17:33, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into band's article as per Android. No indication that Mr. Hardy has any notability outside of that of the band. Barno 18:13, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Franz Ferdinand (band) per Android79. Dcarrano 20:08, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Morwen. Photograph eightysixed. Hall Monitor 21:28, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into main article as per above. --jonasaurus 21:42, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable in his own right for his contributions to a guitar-based band. David | Talk 22:32, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with band article. Nothing notable about him on his own. --Etacar11 01:04, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as above. Radiant_>|< 08:53, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge this and the articles on the other members (Alexander Kapranos / Nicholas McCarthy / Paul Thomson) into a Members of Franz Ferdinand (band) article. Thinking being if we merge this article it would imply that we need to merge the others and that would make Franz Ferdinand (band) article too long... -- Lochaber 14:19, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Franz Ferdinand (band). Not notable on his own. JamesBurns 03:32, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The article was not produced for vain purposes. Notable, award-winning band with strong individual contributions. --Bleary 02:39, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
