Originally a redirect to boy band Point Break, which would be the alternative to deletion for this actor and singer who has only had relatively brief and minor roles in either profession. Sourcing here doesn't demonstrate a pass of WP:GNG, let alone WP:NACTOR or WP:MUSICBIO - and there's little out there other than other Brett Adamses.

Hey Alexander, I have added some more interesting information to the page and I think it would be more beneficial to have information about Brett Adams rather than just a redirect page.

He was actually the lead character in Byker Grove for 5 season and shared one of the first gay male kisses on national TV, so I think it is an historic piece of pop culture and of importance. The band Point Break was also very popular back in the day and big in Japan and other countries and he was also one of the songwriters and well as just being a singer. So it is nice to have all the information that is out there gathered in one place... I will continue to add to it when I have time. Andrewjohnmoore (talk) 19:12, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have added information including WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO with verifiable book and website references.

Brett Adams was a lead character in BBC's Byker Grove from 1990 to 1995 (6 series) and had tracks with Point Break that where in the top 10 UK singles charts and an album in the top 20 that also charted around the world.

As well as sharing one of the first gay coming out stories and kisses on television in 1994. I think this alone is a reason to have a wikipedia article. Andrewjohnmoore (talk) 10:50, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
