Lack of sources and overall lacks notability. Band and single in article don't have pages either. His name, likes some of the other members of a past band noted in the article, should suffice just being on the band pages. As an individual, he is not notable enough and yields very few Google hits individually. Finally, I could not find ONE Google News article on him.Blue man67 (talk) 02:12, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete non-notable by normal standards. Soundsboy (talk) 14:47, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, or at best, redirect to The Actual (band), which appears to be notable. If and when his current group becomes notable in its own right, then at least he might satisfy criterion 6 of WP:MUSICBIO. In the meantime, I can't find significant coverage for the subject in relibale sources such that a separate article is warranted. Gongshow ^Talk 23:37, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

To closing admin I've procedurally relisted this discussion because the AFD tag was removed six minutes after the article was tagged and two minutes before the AFD discussion page was created.--v/r - T P 01:42, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
