Why Not Own Pages

Why have the following band members not got their own pages!? They are the biggest stars on the planet. Iv noticed on Wikipedia recently all these articles for people who do not exist and very unknown. Where as Styles is one of the most recognizable faces in the UK and USA!

Proposal to Start individual pages for them . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruta1991 (talkcontribs) 12:49, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

We have this list article because we cannot at this time have individual articles for any of the members. None of them have gone on to be notable outside of One Direction. None of them have done a solo project of any kind. –anemoneprojectors– 19:45, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
It's high time they got individual pages. They are 5 of the most famous people born in the 1990s, for one thing. They each get plenty of individual media coverage. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 11:11, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
We should wait for that discussion to close. If the result is that Harry Styles is retained a as a redirect, then that would mean the other three members (excluding Tomlinson) should remain as they are. –anemoneprojectors– 18:01, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Worldwide fame not a qualifying criteria haha that's laughable. To put it into context, JB Gill has his own page. There's something very unbalanced here with more recent X Factor related pages and the rest of the world of Wikipedia. For instance, Zayn Malik: far more famous with a much larger portfolio than Sam Bailey, but because she's not a band... 90.204.32.121 (talk) 14:02, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Niall James Chonce Horan

According to genealogy records, Niall James Chonce Horan has proven to have ancestral ties from the humble, yet beautiful, olive-growing region of Horan, Syria. Niall's great grandfather is originally from the Horan region but moved to Ireland to seek to higher education. Although Niall has never visited his great grandfather's beloved nation, the Syrian people, particularly those of Horan, take great pride in knowing that at least one member of One Direction has Horani roots. Often times in Syria, families adapt their last name to the province in which they live. For example, if a man descends from the Damascus area (Sham in Arabic), he may be called (Insert First Name Here) Al-Shami or if a man descends from the Hama area, he may be called (Insert First Name Here) Al-Hamwi, etc. This may be one explanation as to why Niall retains the last name "Horan". The Horani people are quite fond of Niall and are proud that a young Horani male has achieved such ample success as Niall has at such a young age. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Horanibabe94 (talkcontribs) 02:44, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Horan is a surname that originated in County Galway, Ireland, and from there spread into County Mayo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horan.

That makes him an adult. –anemoneprojectors– 17:59, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

You should add more about all the boys there is hardly anything on their personal lives and you should update all the pics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Debra.bordeau (talkcontribs) 03:14, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

What information would you like to be added, and from what reliable sources? Pictures can only be used if they are released under an appropriate Creative Commons license, so for now the current images can stay - not that there's anything wrong with them anyway - they all look like the band members to me. –anemoneprojectors– 14:33, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Liam Payne Homophobic Remarks

Can this be under consideration for addition? Of course, it would be preferable to do so after the potential backlash has run its course. Timeraner (talk) 03:41, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Footnote 20 is incorrect. The Arabic word for prophet is "nabi". The correct translation of rasool or rasul is messenger or apostle. 71.202.83.26 (talk) 07:06, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

The cited source translates what Malik wrote as "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the prophet of Allah", though I see other sources (eg) use "messenger". Per WP:INTEGRITY, Wikipedia needs to use the same translation as the source it cites. Do you know any source discussing Zayn Malik that uses "messenger" or "apostle"?

Error regarding Liam Payne's song choice on X-Factor

Liam Payne's original 2010 solo audition performance on X-Factor was Cry Me a River by Michael Buble, not Cry Me a River by Justin bieber as stated on the wikipedia page, and incorrectly assumed by one of the judges when he declined to state the artist name before performing. The song he chose was tongue and cheek over his former experience on the X-Factor in 2008. Please see the original X-Factor audition as reference not the Footnote 27 which is incorrect.

A Page (Main Article) For Niall Horan

Hello, Personally, it's not fair for Louis and Harry to have their own wiki page and Niall not to have one. He is a value memeber of the band One Direction. And Has more information about his life then just saying that he likes The Script. Unique with all type of intresting facts to offer. He raises money for charity, writes songs, to having millions on fans on twitter. And many fans (from wiki and 1D) will be happy including me for this page to be made. Here's a link to more information about Niall James Horan; [1] Thank you, Jojo Jojo561 (talk) 08:57, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Updating photos

Hello, I understand you want to have pictures of them singing or concerts. But it would be nice to update the photos in commons no current photos of them this year, so that others can see how they look in 2014 At least I think so.--Damián (talk) 15:49, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Please replace:

Michael Buble song Cry me a river with Arthur Hamilton song Cry me a river http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cry_Me_a_River 80.231.29.104 (talk) 12:34, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Partly done: I have removed Buble, as the song is certainly not by him, and linked Cry Me a River which IMHO is more important than adding Arthur Hamilton

Three of the birth dates

Two of the birth dates were cited. The others were not. At the risk of enraging 1D fans, we cannot make claims about living people's personal lives without verification. WP:BLP vios. And it begs the question: If you can't say where these dates came from, then where did you get them? --Tenebrae (talk) 20:35, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Seperate Pages

I don't know why Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson have their own pages but Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne don't. Harry and Louis are no different from the others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Katty368 (talkcontribs) 14:32, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Seperate Pages

I am unsure as to how Zayn Malik now also has his own page and is considered notable on his own, when Liam Payne has produced and written outside of the band projects that have been released and is still considered not to be noteable outside of the band, same as Harry Styles. Why does the criteria differ for each member? How is is that possible?

Suggested correction

Zayn Malik's middle name is javaad not javadd And Harry styles name is Anne twist she is married to robin twist Babydizzle2 (talk) 04:19, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

RE Malik, there is no reliable source to confirm either spelling of his purported middle name; I've removed it from here. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:51, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
I stand corrected: Biography.com does give a middle name. But it spells it "Javadd." Adding with cite. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:58, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
