Chuck Phelps (drummer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely fails to register in Google News, and his band Skankin' Pickle doesn't seem to be notable either, with its only references being the band's MySpace page, some flyers (!!), a student newspaper, and one random blog. I don't see any indication that he satisfies any requirement for notability. I'm not at all an expert in AFD, so if I've erred in the creation of this nomination, please help. Thank you.

 * Just a caution to the nominator: if a person's notability is tied principally to a band that broke up in 1996, then Google News ain't where to even try for improved sourcing — it doesn't archive anything that far back, because it didn't exist back then. That said, WP:NMUSIC clarifies that if a person's notability is tied principally to a band, and they're not reliably sourceable for much outside of that context, then they should exist as a redirect to the band and not as a standalone BLP. Redirect to Skankin' Pickle (who definitely also need sourcing improvement, but they do meet enough NMUSIC criteria to be allowed the benefit of the doubt.) Bearcat (talk) 03:49, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Redirect to Skankin' Pickle which is more notable than one band member. Liz  Read! Talk! 12:20, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
