The result was delete all. Although I will go ahead and delete the untagged articles to avoid unnecessary bureaucracy, please make sure to tag all articles being considered for deletion when bundling nominations in the future. If anyone wants to try expanding the Yomi article, then feel free to drop a note on my talk page and I'll do what I can to help out. --jonny-m t 05:07, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ni~ya

This page, along with other pages for members of Nightmare (band), have no significant, or valuable content. It consists of mostly trivia. --Jacob ^Talk 19:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - I think these articles can be greatly improved and their notability can be expanded. By comparison, check X Japan and it's related band member articles. Sourcing and expanding should be very easy. AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 20:34, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is it okay to respond here? Sorry if it isn't. Anyway, I think the X Japan members are a incomparable, as they have been active in the music scene for more than two decades, rather than just since the turn of the century. The band has little international fame, limited nearly to having songs featured in some overseas anime. The members themselves do not have solo projects (unlike all members of X Japan) and the sources on the information on these musicians lives is limited to current interests and hobbies, blood type, etc., as they rarely divulge personal history. In any case, I will look into finding new sources. --Jacob ^Talk 20:40, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, your right. I've looked there is very little sourcing that can be done for the Ruka, Ni~ya. The Yomi (vocalist) article, could still have potential to be expanded, but I can't find any good English languages sources yet. Perhaps someone with a Japanese Fluency can do some google searches.

Delete (all of them), as I'm not seeing enough relevant content to justify separate articles. Putting a lone magazine citation in a Reference section is no carte blanche to add just about any random bit of trivia, much of it not even remotely connected to the reason we mention these people on Wikipedia, their professional career as musicians. This goes double in the absence of inline-citations, since we have no way of knowing what information exactly was originally intended to be covered by said source. – Cyrus XIII ^(talk) 21:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is nothing here which warrants an article. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 22:10, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge them to Nightmare, which seems notable itself. Stifle (talk) 20:09, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
