This was tagged as csd-a7, but a check of the article suggests by proxy the person being covered may be notable as part of the group Kumbia Kings. In light of this, I'm placing the article here to see if others think the article should be axed. TomStar81 (Talk) 06:35, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. In the article Kumbia Kings, there's only a trivial mention of him in a list of former members, though he stayed with the band for 5 years. At best, it warrants a redirect. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 04:47, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Our notability guideline for musicians states quite strongly that individual musicians are entitled to their own separate articles if you can properly demonstrate notability in reliable sources for activity outside of the band (solo releases, etc.); in the absence of that, they're entitled only to be redirected to their band and not to have their own standalone articles. If his solo work can be properly referenced as notable (I suspect not, considering that none of his other "bands" have articles, but you never know), then keep; if it can't, then redirect to Kumbia Kings.

Redirect - I can find no sources to establish him as a notable artist independent of Kumbia Kings. -- Whpq (talk) 21:31, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
