Hi. I was wondering if I could add some information about Niall on this page and make proper page like the one on Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. Please get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you. Chloepoh98 (talk) 09:47, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
- Let's ask JohnCD what he thinks about this. I notice that some of the other band members have their own articles now and it's been 18 months since the AfD. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:33, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
- Given that JohnCD's close was "speedy redirect", it might be better to ask TParis, the closer of the previous AfD. Chloepoh98, in the meantime, could you point us to any reliable sources that have significant coverage of Horan, especially outside the context of One Direction? Those kinds of sources would be the best ones to show that he deserves a stand-alone article, in my opinion. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 10:52, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
- Harry Styles was allowed to be re-created after a draft was presented at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2013 September 11, and I think that is the way to go here. It's not obvious to me that Niall Horan has the same degree of notability independent of the band but, @Chloepoh98: if you think he has, make a draft article at User:Chloepoh98/Niall Horan (just click on that "redlink" to start editing) and then apply at WP:Deletion review with a link to your draft. Read WP:Your first article, WP:Verifiability ("any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source") and WP:Biographies of living persons for advice before you start, and remember that this is an encyclopedia, not a fansite or a gossip magazine. JohnCD (talk) 11:58, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
- One of the main reasons an article on Styles was allowed was the number of books about him. I've done a Google Books search for Niall Horan but not found anything that's not about One Direction as a whole - the best I could find was a biography about just Styles and Horan. But about Styles alone, there are many. I searched for the other members as well but Styles appears to be the only one discussed independently of the others. –anemoneprojectors– 13:11, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

I was wondering if i could make a page for Niall Horan as other band members have there own as well. Sim.thind (talk) 07:02, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
- Not done: It has been discussed a couple of times (see top of this page) and we would require new evidence to change those decisions. As far as I can see, the other members' names also redirect to the "collective" article. Favonian (talk) 07:11, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

I believe Horan unambiguously meets WP:GNG and would like to create a separate article for him. AusLondonder (talk) 04:11, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
- Not done: Is he independently notable? Or does his perceived notability arise purely from being a member of One Direction? --Redrose64 (talk) 10:15, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, I believe he is. We say all people to have ever served in the European Parliament, the House of Commons in 1495 and every person every elected to a provincial parliament is inherently notable. It is absurd to suggest Horan is not. Your reasoning is also poor. It is a question not an explanation or justification. AusLondonder (talk) 09:46, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- Please work on Draft:Niall Horan and when you think the draft meets inclusion criteria, you can open a deletion review. Let me know if you need help with that — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:31, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

I worked very long on a reliable and verifiable source of information about Niall Horan. Thus I would like to upload this work, so that other people can use this information as they themselves wish. Justenjoyinglife (talk) 16:24, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
- I see you are working on a draft at Draft:Niall Horan. That is the right thing to do. When it is ready, submit it to WP:Articles for creation by adding
{{subst:submit}}
to the top. If it is accepted as showing that he has WP:Notability independent of the band, then the title can be unprotected to allow it to be posted. JohnCD (talk) 16:39, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

I have changed Draft:Niall Horan to a more accurate version with more useful information. I have deleted a joke that was on the infobox. I think the draft version is perfect for an article on its own. I want to be able to edit the One Direction Members article just to un-reditect Niall Horan to it, so we can make the draft version go live. Niall Horan is not known just as a member of One Direction, but as himself alone. It doesn't make sense that he is the only one without a page. I have translated the spanish version to english with all the sources. Pilarlole (talk) 07:02, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your work on this article. Strictly speaking this should go through WP:DRV but after the recent experience with another similar article, and given that the last AfD was four years ago, I have decided just to move it over. This action is revertible on request. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:50, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Niall Horan
editI check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Niall Horan's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
