John Evans (Box Tops)

Does not satisfy WP:MUSIC's standards for notability ("Members of notable bands are not given individual articles unless they have demonstrated notability for activity independent of the band") and a quick Google search revealed a brief profile on the band's site to be the only substantial, non-trivial coverage, which is not enough for a full, neutral biography of this individual. As far as I can tell, he has not been a member of any other notable band (he doesn't even associate with the Box Tops anymore) and thus a merge and redirect into Box Tops might be appropriate.

Merge and redirect per nom's citing of WP:MUSIC. I don't think AfD is the correct process to accomplish this, however. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 07:06, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect: Probably not, but a prod was removed with the somewhat sparse explanation "notable, also session musician" ... as if being a session musician is prima facie evidence of notability. RGTraynor 15:27, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
