The result was Speedy keep. It appears that article is now sourced and notable per WP:MUSIC. I withdraw the nomination. vvv^t 20:35, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of the article lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Or at least I did not manage to find any. vvv^t 03:56, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I found quite a few. Bearian (talk) 06:04, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Is that really a significant coverage? As far as I can see, there are only a necrologue of a person with same name and some bare mentions in articles about the band. vvv^t 12:55, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep Did you click on "news" under "find sources"? NY Times, Washington Post, The Guardian, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, and others. This AFD should be withdrawn.Repo-Box (talk) 16:29, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
See my note about the significant coverage above. vvv^t 16:48, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose whether the coverage is "significant" is a matter of opinion. The way I see it this is more coverage than 90+% of the content on wikipedia (and I am being very conservative in that estimate). So yeah, I'd say it's significant. If you don't think it is significant then you might consider tackling the 90+% of the content on Wikipedia with less coverage. Repo-Box (talk) 19:55, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Very reluctantly. Like vvv I question whether the sources would ordinarily be enough for a stand-alone article. But WP:MUSIC states: "Members of two notable bands are generally notable enough for their own article." I think it states that for good reason: once a person is a member of two notable bands, there's no longer a viable redirect. As long as the membership of the multiple bands can be sourced (and here it can), you can have a basic sourced stub on the musician setting out the bands the musician has been a member of. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:43, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
