Delete or Redirect to Suicidal Tendencies. A disputed prod; this individual doesn't appear to me to meet any of the criteria of WP:MUSIC (which is the policy that suggests the redirect) through having been involved briefly with a single notable group; there are some unproven and possibly unprovable assertions of having "played" with Red Hot Chilli Peppers but "never really made it to record on any actual album with them".

Delete or Redirect to Suicidal Tendencies. As far as I can determine, Jon Nelson was involved with Suicidal Tendencies from 1983-84, but never recorded with them. He is not mentioned in the Suicidal Tendencies article. I don't believe the article meets the criteria of WP:Notability#Music. Xtzou (Talk) 17:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
~~Redirect~~ Delete - Only possible claims to notability is unverifiable (at least at this time). Even if the claims were verifiable, having essentially only practiced with notable people\bands doesn't make the subject notable per WP:MUSIC. I can also find no news sources covering the subject which is admittedly hard given his name (rather common). An official redirect verdict from this discussion will keep the content in case the subject becomes notable while making a point to stop the author from removing db tags and recreating the article after A4T's redirect.

Changing !vote - I didn't realize how little his involvement with Suicidal Tendencies was. I feel that redirecting to that band would be the same as redirecting to all the other bands the author claims the subject has played with. If the content is ever needed, it can be retrieved by an admin. OlYeller^Talktome 17:37, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Hello Gordo here, Well the entire wiki page was made from info I got from an interview Jon Nelson did for a Suicidal Tendencies fansite, and also from info that of Jon Nelson himself has shared with me threw his Facebook page. He agrees to the wikipedia page I made, and plans to share some more info about his music life and his time with Suicidal Tendencies, and the other bands he played with. Thanks for your time and for really debating about this.(Gordomebix (talk) 00:09, 8 April 2010 (UTC))[reply]

To sum up things up about why I made this article. Well for starters, to give Suicidal Tendencies fans (old and new)some clarification on to who is Jon Nelson. To show how he contributed to the band, musically and to some extent on the attention he brought the band. I myself never knew who he was, and have seen live footage from the band in 1984 from you tube thinking the guitarist in that video was Grant Estes and also thought Rocky George replaced Grant Estes immediately after he left the band in 1983. I also took a look at the Join the Army entry and had to update the info on it because of info lacking Jon's involvement. I am aware that he never really played on any album with them, but there's a lot circulating around the net about his existence with the band. I even cited a comment Glen E. Friedman made about Jon Nelson's time with the band. He did make a record with the band The Brood which further add's source to keep this article.
