Article created "on request", most substantive edits are by a series of WP:SPAs, no evidence of passing WP:NMUSIC, no reliable sources. Notability asserted by inheritance. Guy (Help!) 07:49, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Out of all of the bands listed in his discography, just two of them have Wikipedia articles by which I can evaluate their notability — and he wasn't a core member of either of those bands (neither band's article even mentions his name at all, in fact), but merely a session musician. But being a session musician on other bands' albums is not in and of itself a free pass over our notability standards for musicians just because the person's existence is technically verifiable in an album booklet's credits list — and he doesn't pass WP:GNG as an individual, because none of the references here are reliable sources, and neither are they about him at all.
