Not notable.Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Full member of only one notable band. (Brian Welch solo and Love and Death are the same thing. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:32, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - per nom. It was deleted on the first AfD and recreated shortly after. —Мандичка^YO 😜 11:42, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep - Drummer for two notable bands (Love & Death and Red). Three pieces specifically devoted to the subject: [1] [2] [3]. Not sure if there are more out there—I didn't check. Walter Görlitz (talk) 12:32, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Johnson is not a prominent member of Red, just a touring drummer. All those sources are in relation to Dan Johnson of Love and Death. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:23, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep (or AT A MINIMUM redirect) - The very first AFD regarding Johnson was held in 2011, long before he joined R3D or Digital Summer. Johnson is a percussionist for two notable bands, R3D and Love and Death. In addition to the articles that Görlitz mentions, there are articles at [4] and [5] that discuss Johnson. Per these pages [6], [7] as well as [8], Johnson is also performing with Digital Summer and Against All Will, two other notable bands. If the page cannot be kept, it should, at a minimum, be redirected with history to "Love and Death (band)" [or perhaps "Red (American band)"]. Additionally, Johnson has performed with regular MTV2 band The Sammus Theory as well as performing with Mayhem Festival 2011 Battle of the Bands winner Back from Ashes. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:31, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not a prominent member of Digital Summer and Against All Will. Back from Ashes and The Sammus Theory are not notable. Sources don't discuss him, they mention him. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:25, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - Johnson's body of work is sizable. While Johnson is described as a "temporary" percussionist for R3D, he contributed all of the percussion to their album Of Beauty and Rage. Additionally, temporary is only as temporary as temporary is. Johnson has now been working with R3D for at least one year, and has toured with them fairly extensively. --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:51, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
