The result was   no consensus. There's definitely no consensus to delete the article, and every !vote is guideline-based per Wikipedia's various guidelines.

Please bear with me as I am learning the process of editing on Wikipedia. Chuck Wright is currently a heavily active artist recording with multiple artists in sessions and touring globally and consistently with the band Quiet Riot and regionally with the band Acoustic Saints. All data is verifiable. For the sake of editors developing new article content regarding his works, this provides a positive and factual listing of his works, both historically and moving forward. I am working to properly list factual data within the constraints of proper Wikipedia editing. Thank you for your patience. ~ Joe — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:21CA:201:14FF:5D:7CF1:99DA (talk) 18:23, 28 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - easily passes WP:MUSICBIO as a current member of a notable band, and for taking national tours. Several sources verify his official position on the band - not just a studio musician. Bearian (talk) 19:43, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * By the way, I found lots of secondary sources about the subject. FWIW, I don't even like his music! Bearian (talk) 19:54, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Can you be more specific about which points of WP:MUSICBIO he meets? I don't see current member of a notable band, or taking national tours listed.  For the moment, I'm leaning towards delete, but would like to get an answer on this before committing one way or the other.  -- RoySmith (talk) 15:25, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Current member of Quiet Riot, according to their official website.— S Marshall T/C 22:44, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, no, wait, I've misunderstood. The SNG doesn't say "current member of a notable band".  But it's still clearly not a "delete", because if he's a current member of a notable band then his name's a plausible search term.  Smerge to Quiet Riot is the painfully obvious outcome.— S Marshall  T/C 23:23, 4 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Merge to Quiet Riot, and redirect, per my comments above and 's response..  -- RoySmith (talk) 23:51, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I totally thought Roy was two different people and closed. *facepalm* Anyway, carry on... :P -- slakr  \ talk / 03:20, 5 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Merge with Quiet Riot per . I'm not convinced WP:GNG is met, but at the least, a redirect seems sensible as a plausible search term and member of a notable band.  Gongshow   talk  05:22, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge with Quiet Riot per and multiple others.  This is a case where the band is notable, but the individual member is not quite there.  ♥ Solarra ♥  ♪ 話 ♪  ߷  ♀ 投稿 ♀ 08:38, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems to pass WP:MUSICBIO #6 as a "musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles": not just Quiet Riot but also Giuffria and House of Lords (band). Since people may reasonably be looking for info on his earlier notable bands, not just Quiet Riot, it's less confusing to maintain the separate entry.--Arxiloxos (talk) 17:02, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
