Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:34, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as creator. At the time the article was written, it met the guidelines, but the guidelines have changed. Teemu08 (talk) 14:57, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He's a member of a significant American rock band. Jeffrey Beall (talk) 15:59, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't see "member of a significant American rock band" in WP:MUSICBIO. Could you please indicate which item it is or how you're interpreting that list? Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:12, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This member of The Fray doesn't get significant coverage as an individual. There are a couple of interview-the-band-member articles, but that's it. That doesn't constitute individual notability. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 03:39, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The Fray. All database and news hits/interviews are for Welsh's relation to the band and nothing independently biographical. As the musician doesn't have notability independent of the band, WP:MUSICBIO says to redirect, as a useful redirect term. Please ping me if non-English or offline sources are found. czar ♔ 05:27, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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