Mr. Bechdel has a 30 plus year career in notable bands and has worked with notable artists worldwide. He is also credited on albums and singles that have charted and were nominated for Grammy awards. John Bechdel has approved and authorized his bio and discography personally on his wiki page. He is very much alive and a touring/working musician. I am editing on his behalf.

Mild Delete He's been associated with the music industry for 30 years, but the article has no reliable sources about him/his accomplishments. This one's going to take a bit of digging to make it past the notability bar. I find one interview in the Orlando Sentinel in GNews and several in what appear to be metal band specialized publications. No desire to dig for them, but they might just exist. As it sits now, the article isn't notable. Oaktree b (talk) 02:26, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Mostly a hired hand for, granted, some well known outfits. One album on what appears to be a vanity label that did not chart. Does not pass WP:MUSICBIO criteria. Karst (talk) 23:49, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
