Started a PROD saying there was no usable coverage, and to be fair to the editor who removed it, that was a mistake. Between the six other-language Wiki articles, there is a collection of some coverage. You've got this article about some album reissues, this PunkNews review, this Visions review, and an AllMusic bio. Now I know that the second and fourth of those are considered reliable, though I'm not familiar with the other two. No Echo does have multiple writers but not much else I can find that would suggest definite reliability. There's a German-language article for Visions which seems to suggest it should be reliable, but no guarantees. Now I posted that PROD a few days ago so I don't remember what I saw in my BEFORE search, but clearly it wasn't anything beyond this, and this looks like the bare minimum. I think it also meets WP:NBAND#5, but that's still a pretty weak case in my mind. Personally, I'm not convinced this is enough. Perhaps it would serve better merged into a section of Ray Cappo's page. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 12:59, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for lack of sourcing. I suppose we could !merge if needed. Oaktree b (talk) 15:32, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep as per the AllMusic staff written bio and the Punknews review linked in the nominator's statement. Not opposed to a merge to Ray Cappo, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:20, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
