Insufficient references; fails WP:MUSIC. This fellow played music for Santa Sabina (band) and other ensembles, but was not the leader of any of these, and is not notable in and of himself. The page is poorly written and would need substantial work in addition to finding neutral nontrivial references. Shalom Hello 13:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: A member of the Wikipedia Intensive Care Unit staff has placed this article in the ICU. He or she believes that the subject may be notable but the article itself needs major work, and is endeavoring to fix it in an effort to save the article. Realkyhick 16:28, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - That would have been me. While I have no opinion on whether the page should be deleted or not, I feel the subject may be noteworthy. I've subsequentely rewritten the whole page, however I'm still missing references and I have an awefull lot of red links. I'm hoping to find a few references and sources to incorporate into the article and "prove" it's noteworthyness.  1 redrun  Talk 13:18, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Strong delete, per nom.JJJ999 08:39, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. He has a lengthy discography and has been a member of two notable bands for significant periods. The article could do with more references, but there is clearly a bias against finding these as they will mainly be in Spanish. Bondegezou 14:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Give the article seven days grace to be improved and properly sourced delete it for lack of sources if no improvements are made. A1octopus 16:52, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as article is being cleaned up by Intensive Care Unit. Sincerely, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 20:24, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The fact that he was/is a member of two notable bands passes WP:Music.  Added AMG reference.  ♫ Cricket02 04:51, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Even with the re-work, I don't see how this is a notable artist. Merely playing with a notable group, doesn't confer notability.  And its been in the ICU for 3 weeks with no improvement in red links Mbisanz 19:32, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Sufficient notability has been provided with the sources now listed in the article and the connections with other notable groups. Chubbles 07:51, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * REDLINKS Removed. REDLINKS have now been removed Kathleen.wright5 16:51, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thats fine that redlinks have been removed, but in my mind, he should be involved with more than 1 notable project and a compilation album. More blue links in those areas would show notability to.  Mbisanz 22:10, 29 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Barely notable. Stub article, which needs biographical information. -Freekee 04:34, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
