Tommy Malone was born on September 16 1957 in New Orleans Louisiana. He was raised in Louisiana with his brothers who are also musicians. He received his first guitar in 1970 and has been in various bands throughout his career which spans over 30 years. The first band he joined was when he was in high school. From 1972-1975 Tommy was the guitarist for Elroy, they played mainly covers from the rock genre to the blues. Some of his bandmates were his brothers John and Dave. They also were in the band Dustwoofie that followed Elroy from 1975-1977. Tommy briefly played with the band the Cartoons from 1979-1980 until he joined The Percolators. This lead to the formation of Continental Drifters whose members were the core of The Percolators; Tommy Malone, John Magnie and Kenneth Blevins. From 1984 up until 1987 the Continental Drifters played many gigs. The Subdudes followed in Tommy’s career, they toured for 10 years and made several records.

Louisiana Red Hot Records released Tommy’s first solo album “Soul Heavy,” he toured with a trio and was involved in other projects throughout this time as well.

 * Does not cite any reliable independent sources which properly demonstrate that he passes any of our criteria for determining the notability of musicians. The only "citation" given is his profile on the webpage of his own band, which is a primary source that cannot confer notability, not an independent source. In addition, the user would be much better off following the WP:AFC process to get an article created, instead of trying to do it this way. Bearcat (talk) 21:47, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

I requested a page to be made for the artist including some secondary sources that could be used, thank you for the suggestion, I just want to make sure it is done properly. I apologize for my errors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michellem024 (talk • contribs) 16:50, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

I requested a page for Tommy Malone to be created by an editor through this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/music/Performers,_bands_and_songwriters, do you know how long this could take? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.29.97.5 (talk) 14:14, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

I have done this through Articles of Creation but it could take months, I was wondering if an editor can approve this and also help have the Tommy Malone page not redirect to The Subdudes page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.77.229.27 (talk) 12:52, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I see no evidence that you have done that. If you go to Articles for creation, you will see a big green box containing the text Click here to create an article now!. If you go through that form, and after completing your article, ensure that you click on the button, it should then show up at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Tommy Malone. -- Red rose64 (talk) 15:11, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

redirect
Could the redirect to the Subdudes page be deleted? I am trying to get an article written for him and get content on his page. He is a solo artist with multiple solo albums released. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.224.108 (talk) 01:09, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Follow the WP:AFC process, as has been suggested half a dozen times above. Bearcat (talk) 17:21, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

bearcat, your rudeness is unnecessary! that is not what i am asking for, i know that i can go to AFC and have already done so. what i want is for there to be no redirect on his page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.41.205.170 (talk) 16:24, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * When the time comes that an article is ready to go at AFC, it can be simply moved overtop of the existing redirect by an administrator without difficulty. There's no valid reason to delete the redirect in advance of an AFC submission being ready to go immediately overtop of it — in the meantime, people looking for him do still need to land somewhere relevant. And there was nothing "rude" about my response whatsoever. Bearcat (talk) 16:52, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

yeah, you're pretty rude and not very helpful. thanks anyways. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.41.205.170 (talk) 19:22, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Er, no, neither "rude" nor "not very helpful" describes anything I've said in this discussion — I've done nothing here but be helpful in directing you to the proper processes for getting what you want. Just because the answer to one particular question was "no, we don't have a reason to do that, but here's what else you can do instead" does not mean that you weren't helped — the "here's what else you can do instead" part, by definition, constitutes help.
