Subject of poorly referenced article is not notable. Djc wi (talk) 06:26, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, doesn't meet WP:MUSIC. NawlinWiki (talk) 06:39, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, Subject is absolutely notable. He was the touring keyboardist for Mr Bungle! That alone is worth having him on here. Also, he founded Game Audio Magic, of which I am a huge fan, and which has at least 30 titles to shelves. As a huge estradasphere fan myself, I am surprised at just how many links reference him in your own encyclopedia. I suggest you guys actually look at the references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazysmurf420 (talk • contribs) 06:47, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, And in reference to WP:MUSIC ... Mr Bungle qualifies, and he was a member. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazysmurf420 (talk • contribs) 06:51, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, Click here for the official criteria. Which one out of those 12 does the article meet? --Djc wi (talk) 06:54, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, Mr Bungle never had an album that didnt go Gold. I think that was #3 They also released 3 albums on Warner Brothers, which qualifies them under #5, and they have Mike Patton and Trey Spruance #6. They toured on the sno-core tour #4, had a 1 hour television special in Australia #12 and were in rotation on KROQ for years #11. I am pretty sure that is one of the many reasons they have a wiki page, on which almost all of these are listed. This would be the one... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Bungle — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazysmurf420 (talk • contribs) 07:32, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, Mr. Bungle qualifies as a Wikipedia article. Jeff Attridge does not. First of all, the article for Mr. Bungle does not list Attridge as a band member. His name is mentioned, yes, but the mention is trivial, as if he's a live fill-in. Secondly, even if he was a member, it doesn't matter. For Jeff Attridge to have a separate article, he must be notable by himself, without Mr. Bungle. Now again, which criteria does ~~Mr. Bungle~~ Jeff Attridge meet. --Djc wi (talk) 07:40, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, First, if you look at precedent on wikipedia you will find thousands upon thousands of band members noted solely for their work in a single band. I don't know why you are so anti Jeff Attridge... seems strange to me. But if that isn't enough for you, he also fits the criteria via Game Audio Magic, as they won numerous awards for their work on Gish, including best soundtrack, which is also listed in the references. But most importantly, you have tons of pages here on wikipedia that reference him and the links dont work. Why not make the website work better? Lazysmurf420 (talk) 07:58, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Subject does not appear to meet WP:ANYBIO. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 18:00, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, lack of reliable sources to establish notability per WP:GNG. tedder (talk) 18:06, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm not finding significant coverage for the subject; does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSIC. Gongshow ^Talk 01:52, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Tedder and Gongshow. Band members are only notable if they have demonstrated a notable solo career or have played with several notable bands. 'I like it' and 'I'm a fan' are not arguments for inclusion. See also WP:OTHERSTUFF. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:35, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
