Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Claudio Parra

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. While there is less discussion here of the substance of the sources than I would like, the arguments that the sources in the article provide significant coverage are not obviously wrong, and so I cannot close this any other way.

I think he is absolutely notable, the article might need more accurate references but he is one of the most important keyboardist of the history of Latin America. I guess that hundreds of pornstars and third division soccer players are more notable than him?. Tommy Boy (talk) 17:50, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Tommy Boy: see WP:BANDMEMBER... "Members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability". Can you show that Parra has any notability outside of the band, apart from having famous family members, which would be an WP:INHERITED notability?

Keep Although sources are influenced by his Jaivas membership, Parra is a prominent keyboardist and merits his own article, as he is notable by himself. I found several sources, such as that of Música Popular and some books, which go into detail on his work. --Bedivere (talk) 23:25, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If you read the references in spanish, you can notice he is a stand out musician, which is explicitly said: Claudio Parra is undoubtedly one of the most transcendent Chilean musicians of the last 50 years. Tommy Boy (talk) 15:53, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- As part of Los Jaivas, yes. You still haven't shown how he is notable outside of the band. Richard3120 (talk) 16:57, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Los Jaivas as per nom. If, as has been suggested by the keep votes, he was such an outstanding musician, he would have more in-depth coverage of him outside the band. As it stands, and searches did not turn up anything additional, all the coverage is in context to the band. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 18:46, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Los Jaivas per Onel5969. Sources are specific to there; subject lacks independent notability. Garnarblarnar (talk) 00:29, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I don't read Spanish very well, but based on Tommy Boy's post, he is clearly notable as a stand alone musician. The articles, from the title certainly appear to be discussing him, rather than the band, thus meeting WP:RS. Deathlibrarian (talk) 03:51, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- They don't really – they are either wishing him happy birthday as a member of a famous band, being the sole surviving member of a famous band, or being interviewed as the keyboard player of a famous band. In short, all the sources are very much tied to him being part of Los Jaivas, and as far as I'm aware, he hasn't done anything notable outside of the band.

Keep Many of the sources give significant coverage to Parra. -- Mike 🗩 14:38, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
