A drummer in two bands, but not independently notable. He can be mentioned in the articles about the bands he was in. Another editor challenged speedy deletion, so AfD is appropriate Sionk (talk) 13:25, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Notability was not the subject of the 2011 CSD nomination. It is true that Mr Clark is mentioned in the media as a member of the above mentioned bands, see for example PopMatters, musicOMH, Der Standard (in German), abc.net.au, Melbourne Weekly, X-Press Magazine or Surrey Now. Mr Clark was/is a member of two independently notable musical ensembles and it should be in my opinion enough to meet our notability requirements (see WP:MUSICBIO, #6). --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 14:04, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Member of two notable bands, satisfying criterion 6 of the applicable notability guideline. Members of one notable band would be kept as redirects if not individually notable. An article simply stating that he is/was a member of these two bands effectively performs the same function.--Michig (talk) 14:44, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I see that the definition of independent notability may be confusing here. Mr Clark plays in a notable band - The Sleepy Jackson. In 2010, he joined Jeff Martin and founded Jeff Martin 777. It is quite natural that the music media will note his previous band, however, both the bands received independent coverage in those media. And last but not least, we have enough reliable coverage to assume that our readers might search who is this musician. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 14:54, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and integrate sources above - per above. Some Wiki Editor (talk) 15:38, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- AfD withdrawn - Point taken, I didn't notice the second half of the sentence of #6 of WP:MUSICBIO. I've added the interview with Clark as a link in the articlem, to give it more weight. N.B. the other links are only mentions of Clark, but could do with adding to the articles about the respective bands. Sionk (talk) 17:12, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
