The result was delete. Notability is not inherited; while the band may be notable, Weber has not received sufficient individual coverage. BigDom 10:55, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Bio of a drummer written by his brother. Has been deleted twice for lack of notability. Several refs but they appear to relate more to the band than specifically about Brad. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:36, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Look at the two Google news wire searches here you'll see a lot more than blogs which specifically mention and talk about Brad Weber. Guelph Mercury, The Aquinian, and NG News, all with editorial staff mention Brad with respect to his other stage name Pick a Piper. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicweber (talk • contribs) 02:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
