{{editprotected}} And once again, I request sysop assistance. The page currently reads:

#redirect [[The Click Five]]
[[Category:Protected redirects]]

I would like it to be changed to:

#redirect [[The Click Five]]{{R from member}}
[[Category:Protected redirects]]

Thanks. BigNate37_(T) 22:18, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, I made that change per your request and the suggestion during the RfD. Hopefully other similar redirects can use it in the future. Cool Hand Luke 23:13, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Eric Dill's page should not be redirected to The Click Five. Eric Dill left the band in 2006 and has his own solo career now. Eric Dill should have his own page that is not redirected to his former band so people can post information to follow his solo career. JohnnieYoung (talk) 19:19, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Do you have reliable sources that can satisfy WP:BIO? This is currently a redirect because previous incarnations of this article failed to establish independant notability. Cool Hand Luke 23:55, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, Eric Dill is the original lead singer of The Click Five who sang on their best-selling first album but he left the band in 2006 and now has a solo recording career and is much more well known than the current lead singer Kyle Patrick who sings on The Click Five's lesser-selling second album, but for whatever reason Kyle Patrick has his own Wikipedia page which does not redirect to The Click Five page whereas Eric Dill who doesn't want to be associated with his former band is automatically redirected to The Click Five page. It seems counterintuitive to have this happen. As for some sources of information, you can read Eric Dill's latest bio and news and listen to his solo songs at his Official Website http://www.ericdill.com and his MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/ericdill Additionally, Eric Dill has also embarked on an acting career and recently starred in the teen comedy "Taking 5". Eric Dill's IMDB acting credit page can be found at this link http://us.imdb.com/name/nm2444143/ Also, here is a link to a recent interview that a magazine did with Eric Dill about his solo career http://starrymag.com/content.asp?ID=2157 So, taking all this into account, it doesn't seem that Eric Dill the solo singer and actor should be denied his own Wikipedia page and only have his name redirect people to a band that he isn't even associated with any longer. Thank you for your consideration. JohnnieYoung 07:56, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

The consensus at the RfD was that he has no independent notability. I think that's still true; a one-entry imdb page and self-created myspace page do nothing to establish note. Feel free to ask for this redirect to be unprotected at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection#Current requests for unprotection. Add {{la|Eric Dill}} and your reasoning on a new line.

The Blade of the Northern Lights - continued harassment

Please ban user "The Blade of the Northern Lights" from continuing to redirect and harass the state of Eric Dill's Wikipedia page. The page needs to be unlocked and reverting back to before this users meddling and obviously ill-intended "edits" of this page.
