Article lacks reliable references and it appears that the band is notable, not the guitarist himself. YuMaNuMa Contrib 00:10, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Indeed, the band is notable. People were asking for a short bio of his so I thought it would be nice to have one. Plus, the article looks more complete if it includes the bios of the rest of the band members.~Michael Spiggos — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael13111983 (talk • contribs) 16:48, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The band may be notable but you must demonstrate why this particular musician is notable, please see Arguments_to_avoid_in_deletion_discussions. Additionally, creating articles for all of the members to make it complete is not a valid reason for notability either and actually floods Wikipedia with unnecessary and potentially non-notable pages. With some articles, a brief bio will be added on the band's article (example:One_Direction). SwisterTwister   talk  22:59, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Merge / redirect with Ten (band). Doesn't appear to have achieved individual notability, so per WP:NMUSIC, this is the thing to do. -- Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)   16:44, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Ten (band) - There wouldn't be much for a merge, at least not much that would be considered appropriate and not disjointing. I haven't found any significant and reliable evidence for his work with the other bands but I found reviews including this one that compliments his solos on the 2012 Ten album but these reviews aren't enough for separate article at this time. I'm voting redirect with absolutely no prejudice for a future article. I would have redirected it myself but I want a full consensus. SwisterTwister   talk  22:59, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Redirect He's not independently notable. There's no material with a reliable source to merge, and a lot of it's very vague - "qualifications in both Rock School and Music Theory" could mean almost anything. Could copy over the list of bands he was in, but nothing else worth saving. --Colapeninsula (talk) 00:14, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
