Non-notable member of notable bands, per WP:BANDMEMBER Broc (talk) 15:03, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - WP BANDMEMBER doesn’t really explain what to do in a situation like this at all, is there more precedent here? My instinct is that someone who’s been a member of three notable bands has a decent claim on notability themselves, but the guidelines don’t really provide any guidance on where the bar is. Obviously SIGCOV applies but that’s a little tricky, does it have to exclude the bands they are in to count? WilsonP NYC (talk) 17:34, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably this is covered by WP:BAND #6, "is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles", in which case the inclination would be for us to keep the article on those grounds. Dekimasuよ! 13:51, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK in that case add my vote as Keep to this discussion. WilsonP NYC (talk) 14:17, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dekimasu shouldn't the subject still have significant coverage in independent secondary sources? That's completely missing here, he's just a guy changing bands very often. --Broc (talk) 17:39, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't receive this ping, but yes, there should still be significant coverage in independent secondary sources. I was mostly answering WilsonP NYC's question here. I did not search for sources in Japanese myself, but presumably almost everything is in Japanese in this case. Ddid you search for Japanese-language sources as part of WP:BEFORE?

Thanks everyone for the comments. I'm withdrawing the nomination, as the notability criteria are satisfied by WP:BAND #6 and the presumed existence of multiple secondary sources. --Broc (talk) 19:48, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
