Does not appear to meet WP:MUSICBIO. Notability all seems to be inherited from The Kooks as opposed to individually. Suggest redirect to The Kooks. PGWG (talk) 18:27, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, leaning to strong keep. The Kooks are a big enough band, and he gets enough coverage himself to have an article within WP:MUSICBIO, irrespective of a lack of solo releases. He's done significant news features on his own, such as this and this. He's also covered by major news sites as a celebrity in his own right, such as here and here. That's just from a quick search and this coverage goes back to 2005 or 2006 or so. The article is poor but he's established notability beyond the name of the band.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep as agree his projects outside the band have gained him enough coverage that he has independent notability for an individual article and that WP:BASIC is passed Atlantic306 (talk) 02:45, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
