Redirect to
The 1975, and
make it stick. This article's title does not conform to Wikipedia naming conventions, which is a clue that something like this has happened before. In fact, another article dedicated to the singer was already redirected to the band multiple times: see
[1] (click the History tab) and
[2]. This article is an attempt to get around community consensus with a different title. It appears that these articles were intended to highlight stuff from his personal life, but other editors deleted that material as non-notable. All that's left is a rehash of the band's early history because Healy has done nothing outside of the band. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Delete and salt this non-standard title and protect
Matthew Healy to maintain it as a redirect: The present article is inadequate, containing copious unsourced
WP:BLP material plus a summary of recordings by
The 1975. The consensus in 2016 was that the subject does not meet
WP:MUSICBIO in his own right, so fell under the "members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles" provision. Although interviews with the subject continue to be published, there does not seem to be sufficient reason to overturn the previous consensus.
