Talk:Liam Payne

Comments from AfC reviewers

• Comment: Preserving decline trail in case any 1D fans want to have another go at creating a separate article for Payne. Rankersbo (talk) 09:02, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

• Comment: For better or worse, the community have decided to have details on Payne at List of One Direction members#Liam_Payne. Creating a separate article for Payne is a matter for discussion at Talk:List_of_One_Direction_members and can't be done through Articles for Creation. LukeSurl ^{t c} 13:25, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

• Comment: As much as the submitter admires the subject, the citations provided do not establish his independent notability for inclusion. Alanl (talk) 19:28, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

• Comment: There are no relibale sources to this. Wikipedia, and the one direction wiki are not reliable sources. One Direction are a notable pop act, and as such Payne has a section on that article, but for Liam to have his own page you need to show that he has noteriety in his own right, through references to news stories. Rankersbo (talk) 09:35, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

• Comment: Although he seems to have gotten some attention since starting a solo path, he may still be best known for the group and thus there may not be much for a separate article yet. SwisterTwister talk 06:20, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Requests for article creation

I came across this draft after some requests on Talk:Liam Payne to create an article. I wonder if it was still the opinion of @Rankersbo, LukeSurl, and Alanl: that this article is not yet ready for creation? I'm not sure it is necessary to get consensus at Talk:List of One Direction members before the article can be created ... — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:05, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

I'm not an expert on the corner of popular culture 1D exist in, my comments were based purely on the merits of the draft itself, not of Payne. I mean now I can name Styles and Malik off the top of my head, the others I'd have to look up.

Basically at the time of my comment above, it had already been decided that Payne should redirect to 1D and the draft presented did nothing to persuade me otherwise. I see and hear nothing to change my mind, but my opinion is not strongly held and should not stand in the way of article creation. Rankersbo (talk) 12:17, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Like Rankersbo I know little of 1D. However I am aware that they are a "big deal", and that the lack of a dedicated Liam Payne article is clearly a deliberate choice by editors rather than an accidental "gap" in the encyclopaedia. That is why I directed the draft creator here to open a splitting discussion at Talk:List_of_One_Direction_members which would presumably catch the attention of whichever editors were involved in that choice. AfC does not appear to be the correct forum for this discussion, as it would not involve the involved editors, and any decision to approve would bulldoze over that (presumed) consensus. However this draft seems well-made and should be retained and used if a choice is made to have a dedicated Liam Payne article. --LukeSurl ^{t c} 12:50, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

@MSGJ: If attempts to start a discussion at Talk:List of One Direction members or Talk:Liam Payne are receiving no attention from such editors then perhaps it is time to be WP:BOLD and make the article. However this will be quite a bold step, so I'd spruce up the article as much as possible first. The lead in this draft is a little messy and overlong. A few sections of this draft go too much into detail of the format of X-factor. --LukeSurl ^{t c} 11:11, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

We could apply WP:BOLD, but in situations like this I'd probably advise an editor to bring the draft up to spec, and then take it to WP:DRV. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:10, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Just to clarify, do you suggest that I rework the draft and then submit it to WP:DRV for consideration. Thank you for taking your time to discuss this topic. Beecee14 (talk) 17:43, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes I think that would be the best option. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:44, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 October 11#Liam Payne

The closer of Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 October 11#Liam Payne wrote: "The consensus here is that AfC is where this should be decided, and that the three year old AfD result is not binding on a new article getting created via the AfC process."

The subject clearly passes Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles, which notes: "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself."

Here are several examples sources in the draft:

1. http://www.inquisitr.com/2008232/liam-payne-now-writing-post-zayn-1d-songs-guess-next-album-title/

2. http://www.expressandstar.com/entertainment/music/2012/03/17/liam-paynes-journey-from-bushbury-to-big-apple/

3. http://www.thespec.com/whatson-story/5269991--humanitarian-liam-payne-urges-one-direction-fans-to-change-the-world/

Although the draft is imperfect, Wikipedia:Editing policy#Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required.

As an uninvolved editor, I accept this article from Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Would an admin move Draft:Liam Payne to Liam Payne, which is protected? Pinging User:JohnCD and User:MSGJ.

Cunard (talk) 05:46, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

@Cunard: I have unprotected Liam Payne, so you can go ahead and accept the draft. JohnCD (talk) 09:25, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Done It didn't just need unprotection; Liam Payne and Talk:Liam Payne also needed to be deleted to make way for the page move. I've made the move now. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 09:33, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Mr. Stradivarius. It seems that common sense has prevailed here (eventually) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:45, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

• Thank you all. Cunard (talk) 04:29, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 29 February 2016

In Liam Payne's personal life section, there has been no mention of Sophia Smith, whom he dated for a very long period of time, or Cheryl Cole, whom he has been rumored to be dating. I suggest you to do the needful edits asap x 60.243.200.217 (talk) 09:44, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Not done: as you have not requested a specific change in the form "Please replace XXX with YYY" or "Please add ZZZ between PPP and QQQ".
More importantly, you have not cited reliable sources to back up your request, without which no information should be added to, or changed in, any article. - Arjayay (talk) 10:12, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Please add to Personal Life-Liam rekindled with fellow classmate, Sophia Smith, after running into each other at a mutual friend's party in the summer of 2013. The couple began dating in August 2013 until their split in October 2015. Softball4lifee (talk) 05:46, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Genres sourced

Well since Liam Payne is going on a solo career his genres might as well be added which are pop and R&B I'm mostly having trouble sourcing R&B so I will leave it unsourced and if someone could please source R&B on his page on my behalf that would be great thanks Desertrose42526 (talk) 19:44, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
