Aroc

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable per WP:MUSICBIO. His group Weekend Excursion is mildly notable per criterion 10 (although that being the only claim is usually not enough to warrant an article), but members of bands are "not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band".

KeepAroc has had his voice on national television on MTV's the Real World, and Dawson's Creek. Notable per WP:MUSICBIO criterion 6. Not only this, as related in the article he is and has been active in his local community providing philonthropic charitable donations and activities: transportation services and proper channeling for needy individuals and families to name a few. Furthermore, he is still with the group from time to time performing along side Jeff Foxworth of the "Ontic" and Sam Fisher of Lucas Gambit Records, an notable independent label that has sponsored the final CD he has appeared on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Royaloats (talk • contribs) 12:50, 11 April 2014 (UTC) PAGE ]] ) 13:12, 11 April 2014 (UTC) PAGE ]] ) 14:07, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: Criteria 6 says "musician who has been a reasonably-prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles". While Weekend Excursion might qualify as notable due to the Dawson's Creek and Real World appearances, he has not been a prominent member of a second independent notable ensemble (appearing from time to time is not prominent). The charity work you mentioned doesn't establish notability without significant coverage in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. --Ahecht ( [[User_talk:Ahecht|'''TALK
 * Comment: I can't even find a reliable source that states that he was in "Weekend Excursion" when the songs that aired on TV were recorded, nor can I find any reliable sources that state that he still performs with the group. Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable. --Ahecht ( [[User_talk:Ahecht|'''TALK
