Keep Aleksi was featured in an independent industry magazine several times (Wikidrummers) and the artists he's worked with have met national acclaim (Rolling Stone India, Independent Music Awards.)--Silex158 (talk) 16:15, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Notability is not inherited, so working with famous folk, doesn't necessarily make you famous.  scope_creep Talk  17:39, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I found one entry at There is nothing else and profile is only two sentences. It needs more coverage than 1 article.   scope_creep Talk  17:42, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * You don't have to be famous to have an entry in Wikipedia especially as a drummer or sound engineer. There are other 3rd party sources that have featured AG. There is another entry in Rolling Stone regarding his work as a mixing engineer for example. . Additionally, he has been nominated for a major music award, another wikipedia guideline for notability in music. --Silex158 (talk) 18:01, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * You have to be notable. The first ref in that list has:
 * Essentially Entangled was recorded at The Edge Studios in Quincy, Massachusetts in the U.S. by Keith Assack and mixed by Aleksi Godard and Isaiah Weatherspoon


 * Having a single mention as mixed by doesn't really satisfy WP:V. The second ref doesn't mention him at all. So that is not a valid reference. So far it has been mix of passing mentions, none of it satisfies WP:MUSICBIO. There is no coverage.  scope_creep Talk  21:44, 26 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete — no in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources could be observed. Celestina007 (talk) 00:05, 27 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep - Added a reliable source (Le Parisien, a national newspaper in France with a circulation of 229,638) that mentions Alexis leading a drum masterclass. --Silex158 (talk) 14:59, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * It is just a name drop, a passing mention. To be real secondary sources, they must be substantial.   scope_creep Talk  17:02, 27 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete - Trivial mentions and no proper feature articles about the subject. — Infogapp1 (talk) 11:16, 28 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Redirect - Should it redirect to Boyish (band)?
 * I don't know, but I don't think so. He seemed to drum quite a few bands, so there is no real target as such. Certainly their site states he is their drummer. So I would say so.  scope_creep Talk  14:38, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
