I don't believe any of the members of The Tenderloins are individually notable outside of the comedy troupe/Impractical Jokers. These articles should be merged into The Tenderloins or deleted. Draft:James Murray (comedian) was put back into draft after being published, but should also not have it's own article. Cerebral726 (talk) 19:09, 3 January 2020 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reasons:
- Joseph Gatto (comedian) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Brian Quinn (comedian) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

- Delete none of these individuals are notable per our guidelines on entertainers.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:43, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect articles back to the The Tenderloins' members sections. Vistadan 20:47, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

- Keep for all, sure the pages were initially terribly sourced, but there is enough coverage of each individual. They are far more well known than many other comedians on here.--Seacactus 13 (talk) 16:25, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- * AGREE with above sentiment, well-said. I say:
- Keep from me as well for all, sure the pages were initially terribly sourced, but there is enough coverage of each individual. They are far more well known than many other comedians on here. From Peter a.k.a. Vid2vid (talk) 21:54, 6 January 2020 (UTC).
- Actually, the members of The Tenderloins. Each of the jokers have more followers on Instagram than the Instagram account for Impractical Jokers. Although Sal, Joe, Murr, and Q are very connected, they are individual people. People WANT to read about them! I find it RIDICULOUS how you don't think they are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia pages as they venture on to their own journeys away from Impractical Jokers and have their own pasts. I can EASILY add more citations on their pages. Lilydog945 (talk) 19:09, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- Highly strongly AGREE with above too. Hear hear. --Peter a.k.a. Vid2vid (talk) 21:54, 6 January 2020 (UTC).
- Delete or Redirect How many Instagram followers someone has doesn't make one notable for Wikipedia. Sourcing does. Much of the sourcing for these guys is not independent of their group or their TV show. 15:50, 7 January 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muboshgu (talk • contribs)

- It takes about 1 minute to vote delete, and 100 minutes to really improve an article. I will spend 100 minutes improving this article, if some one will in return vote keep on 100 other articles. Thanks. Peregrine Fisher (talk) 20:07, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you, I hate how so any people just try and get as many pages as possible deleted just by briefly looking at them.--Seacactus 13 (talk) 02:44, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. For failing notability guiselines, such as WP:ENTERTAINER. Note to closing admin, most of the keep votes point to WP:WHATABOUTX which is not a valid argument in AfD. We don't compare articles to others, we judge them on their own merit. Ifnord (talk) 18:44, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Should be kept. I specifically searched for Q and found information about him through this page. It's ridiculous to delete such a famous personality page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.160.64.215 (talk) 00:57, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
- Keep all. I see sufficient sourcing to meet GNG and have reasonable stand-alone articles. Merge/redirect isn't a great option as they are all notable for both The Tenderloins and Impractical Jokers.--Mojo Hand (talk) 16:35, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
- Keep all. They meet WP:GNG I find quite a few RSs in a WP:BEFORE search. Lightburst (talk) 18:05, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
