Biographical information

To the person who created this article: You can't just copy text from the band's website and paste it here. I "stubbed" the article so you can have a chance to expand it by paraphrasing the information you have, rather than just duplicating it. Otherwise it will be deleted. §FreeRangeFrog 18:26, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note though that typically a member of a musical group is covered in the article of the musical group, and doesn't have a standalone article unless they have "demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band". Cheers, Amalthea 18:31, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ya, agree per WP:MUSIC and all. I wasn't so much contesting or trying to establish notability (or the merits of a standalone article for the guy), rather making sure that the article wasn't deleted due to a spurious copyvio. §FreeRangeFrog 18:38, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing spurious about it, unless proof of permission it is a copyvio. Copyvio's are and should be deleted. I purged the article which already was deleted a few times before as a copyvio. Garion96 (talk) 23:18, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the photo in the infobox

I suggest if anyone wishes to expand this stub, that they enlarge the photo and trim it so that Alan Paul is the only person in the infobox. The photo as a whole could be used further down after the text has expanded. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 14:42, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
