Biography of a person whose only stated claim of notability is being associated with other people. Notability is not inherited, however, so simply managing a notable rock band is not an automatic inclusion freebie that exempts a person from actually having to have any reliable source coverage about him -- but the references here aren't getting him over the bar, as they include one (deadlinked) profile of the band, one still-live profile of the band on an unreliable site, and one dead piece of content about a reggae musician on a Wordpress blog. None of this counts for anything at all toward making Wyn Anderson notable enough for a Wikipedia article, and I can't find anything better anywhere else.

Keep for now. I have a feeling that Anderson also had something to do with other bands besides rock group, Thundermug and reggae artist Gregory Isaacs (some real diversity there). He may have done other work with Axe Records. If it doesn't go that way to save, could we possibly preserve the history and have it re-directed to Thundermug?

Even if he had done other work besides Thundermug and Gregory Isaacs (an unverified claim at present), the notability test would still hinge on how well you could reference him to reliable source coverage about him, not just glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage about the artists he'd worked with or unreliable sources of any stripe. I've already looked for real media coverage that might bolster his notability, and I can't find any. Bearcat (talk) 21:05, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Thundermug (band) There's a lack of significant independent coverage about him and no indication of notability meriting a separate article, plus notability can't be inherited. Seems to have been integral to Thundermug's success and is already mentioned in that article, so a redirect seems best to me. Papaursa (talk) 20:03, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
