The result was redirect to Black Diamond Bay. Article is unsourced. Redirecting to the band he currently plays for per WP:BLP. Please do not undo the redirect without sourcing the article. No prejudice against a speedy renomination. (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:39, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does not seem notable enough to have his own page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moxy (talk • contribs) 20:58, 17 May 2010

Delete as article fails WP:BAND. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 19:13, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A musician who is not independently notable outside of his work in a notable band may be redirected to his band, but cannot be deleted outright as he is unequivocally and indisputably entitled to be either a standalone article or a redirect. But if he's worked with two independently notable bands, then how do you decide which one is "more" notable than the other for the purposes of redirecting? We can't delete as a musician who's been in a notable band is entitled, with absolutely no exceptions, to be at least a redirect — but how do you decide where to redirect him without violating Wikipedia's traditional proscription against arbitrary dividing lines?

Redirect to Black Diamond Bay as article fails WP:BAND, and add ((redirect|George Donoso|his former band|The Dears)) to the Black Diamond Bay article. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 18:38, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep on the argument that The Dears are also a notable band (based on the !vote above I'm assuming Black Diamond Bay is also notable) thus he meets criterion 6 of WP:MUSICBIO. The Dears have a full bio in Allmusic and have been covered in Spin and Billboard. J04n(talk page) 15:07, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
