I do not believe this person passes the GNG or even NBAND. It is argued that he passes the latter because he was "member of 2 notable bands", but the requirement in NBAND is that he be "a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles". The best sources I can find ([1] and [2]) give him a half sentence each, so I don't see how he is reasonably prominent--he seems not to be. So, I think this should be deleted, unless someone digs up some significant discussion of this drummer. Drmies (talk) 17:06, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Tokyo Dragons. Being the drummer in a hard rock band for their entire history is about as prominent a member as anyone should reasonably expect, and a bit more detail there on what he did after that band wouldn't hurt. After that he seems top have basically been a short-term member/session musician for various bands. --Michig (talk) 18:30, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- That's fair--if it's a good target for this guy, I fully support it. Thanks Michig. Drmies (talk) 19:19, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Tokyo Dragons. I agree with Michig, Martini had three singles in the UK Singles Chart with this band, so the group is notable and is the obvious redirect target - the Quireboys were a bigger band during their heyday, but by the time Martini joined it had been well over a decade since their last success.
