Jason Pierce

Does not meet WP:MUSIC -Nv8200p talk 01:26, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. Pierce was a member of two notable bands, Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized, both of which have released albums on major labels [1] [2].--TBCΦtalk? 02:34, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Disagree with the nominator that this subject fails to meet WP:MUSIC guidelines. This subject has in fact gone on a national tour in Britain. For more information, please view this this webpage. --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 02:52, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. Clearly notable - Spacemen 3 were one of the more influential British alternative groups of the late 1980s, and Spiritualized have enjoyed chart success in Britain. Spiritualized alone satisfy most of the criteria in the "Musicians and ensembles" section of WP:MUSIC, and Pierce himself satisfies most of the "Composers and lyricists" section. Frivolous AfD - people should really do some research before whacking tags on articles. Tpth 02:56, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I had never heard of this artist or his bands, but upon review of his page and the page for Spiritualized it is clear that the notability requirements are met. Eron 03:48, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - Spiritualised is clearly notable and thus the individual in question is too. Xdenizen 05:34, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep, he meets the notability requirements though I've never heard of him before. His albums have enjoyed success in the UK charts. --Ter e nce Ong _{(T | C)} 06:41, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Spiritualized clearly meet WP:MUSIC, Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space makes frequent appearances in greatest albums lists. Catchpole 07:57, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - definitely notable enough to have an article of his own outside of his 2 notable groups. Ac@osr 11:20, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - I actually tried speedy keeping this one, but another user thought I was a bit quick in my decision. Either way, Pierce clearly meets notability guidelines per what everyone above is saying. →Bobby← 12:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
