Rey Anasco[edit]

Only claim of notability is used to be in Underoath, but he was a member in their early days and is barely mentioned in their article. References about music club do not contain significant coverage Omarcheeseboro (talk) 12:25, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm torn about this one. Including his biographical details in the band article would obviously give undue weight to him compared to his time in the band, but the bio does include more than your trivial information. Depending on the notability of the venue, being a director of the Capitol can be notable too. Anyway, the fact he was in the band in its early days is irrelevant he was in it so at the very least we should redirect - Mgm|^(talk) 10:36, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per WP:MUSICBIO. To quote: [...] members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases. This article doesn't suffice this requirement. Regarding The Capitol, we don't have an article about the venue, nor a mention at Capitol (disambiguation). Even if the venue is notable, a person who was its executive director for barely one year wouldn't be notable per se. We don't usually have articles about CEOs and he might have been notable if he were an owner. However, two zeroes don't make one. Admiral Norton ^(talk) 14:43, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Good Info, Admiral, I should've given more thought to redirect. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 16:59, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He was the director of the Capitol for about two years, and that venue was known by everyone in the city. Liked it or loved it, everyone had heard about it and Rey was the most important member in the creation. Although his time in Underoath may have been limited, the effects it has had is unmeasurable. His effect he has had is far more reaching than his short stint in Underoath, and there are a lot of people who would like to know more about Rey, and why not have it on Wikipedia?
