Art Tripp[edit]

Subject is not independently notable from Frank Zappa. There is a paucity of sources to verify existing content and expand to a suitable article. Fails WP:Music and GNG. Delta13C (talk) 19:30, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Redirect to the Frank Zappa page would be inappropriate as Tripp is at least as well known as a member of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band (appearing on 5 LPs across 8 years and extensive touring) and subsequently less successfully as a member of Mallard (band). His involvement in two prominent groups is indicative of WP:MUSICBIO #6. As to the article sources, it is definitely short on inline references but does have a list of book sources. From a quick check back to a couple of these, Barnes' book could provide inline verifications of various facts; other sources such as Harkleroad less so.

Keep. Important member of the Mothers, the Magic Band, and Mallard, who also played with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and in Tim Buckley's band. We may not be able to source everything currently in the article, but Tripp is notable enough. --Michig (talk) 09:27, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
