Bobby Anderson


Unremarkable person. Noteability not established even after another user requested it months ago. MECU ≈ talk 03:06, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Make a stub. The band Jack's Mannequin features Andrew McMahon who is on Maverick records. Bobby used to be in a band called River City High, who was fairly known within the punk/emo scene a few years back. Tommy Lee has played in Jack's Mannequin and so has Jacques from Phantom Planet. And think, I just learned all this by googling and wiki-ing :)  Missvain 03:16, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Or merge to Jack's Mannequin and delete that for the same reason. WP:NOT a garage band fansite.  •E l om i s•     
 * Comment. Considering that he was on the Tonight Show, I don't think the garage band comparison is apt. Sure, his notability is questionable, but it's certainly not non-existant. --Brad Beattie (talk) 05:48, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Many people have appeared on The Tonight Show accompanying famous musicians. Should they all have articles?  Wavy G 08:09, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, the controlling guideline here, boys and girls, is WP:MUSIC, and by that standard, Missvain's argument holds water (albeit barely). He's notable because he's in a new band formed by a notable (enough) musician.  But I say "Weak", because the article on Jack's Mannequin is actually a redirect to Andrew McMahon, which suggests minimal notability for that band.  Also desperately needs cites. -- Xtifr tälk 10:55, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No, he's not notable. The band formed by a notable musician is notable per WP:MUSIC, but other members of that band do not automatically require individual articles. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 17:33, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, no evidence of notability. Merely being in a band with someone who may be notable does not automatically grant you notability too. Merely appearing on a TV show that wasn't about you doesn't grant notability either - I can truthfully claim to have appeared on This Is Your Life, but I'm certainly not a notable person... &mdash; Haeleth Talk 17:33, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete No references, barely a claim of notability. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 17:36, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
