Non-notable musician. Fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. While he has been in several bands (which may lead some to assume he automatically meets WP:MUSICBIO nothing much is written about the subject that cannot be written about the subject in the bands he was in.

Delete Couldn't find sufficient evidence of notability outside of the bands he played with to pass WP:MUSICBIO. Suonii180 (talk) 16:03, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to The Guess Who as an alternative to deletion. Wallace achieved some notability during several years in the Guess Who's classic lineup, which is described adequately at their article, and he is also described adequately at Brother (Canadian band) for his time with them. The Guess Who is the more notable of the two bands so Wallace can be redirected to them, and he does not qualify for his own article due to lacking notability outside of the context of the bands. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:07, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
