Jake Evans (musician)[edit]

Non-notable musician. Notability is not inheritable, so the fact that Bad Lieutenant is notable, does not mean that Jake Evans is notable, what I doubt. Night of the Big Wind _talk 22:50, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:MUSICBIO point 6 as a past member of Marion (band), and current member of Bad Lieutenant (band). -- Whpq (talk) 15:48, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete. Point 6 from WP:MUSICBIO is a good rule of thumb, but I think it fails here. Marion was a notable band from the '90s, but he wasn't part of it--until they reformed in 2006. New Order was a massively notably band from 1980-2009, but he wasn't a member--until Bernard Sumner decided to carry on, under a new name; see the Bad Lieutenant section in the New Order article. I assume that Evans is a talented musician, but that doesn't make him notable, and when I search for evidence of his own notability, I come up short, with mostly side mentions in articles that focus on the notable members of Bad Lieutenant and Marion. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:37, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. --Legis (talk - contribs) 06:37, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as lacking in-depth coverage in reliable, independent third-party sources. Should such sources be integrated into the article, feel free to leave a note on my talk page and I'll take another look. Stuartyeates (talk) 04:17, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom; also, Evans was involved in only one completed album. Of the two references in the article, one is unreliable. --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 23:00, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
