Non-notable individual fails WP:MUSIC with a single, insignificant album released.  Grsz 11  16:59, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. This is a member of a notable group who also has a solo project. Would this information (including the track listing) be better included in the article about the group? I think keeping the stand-alone article makes more sense. I found the following Newsweek reference when I searched for the person's name: http://www.newsweek.com/id/151737  - Eastmain (talk) 17:54, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment It would appear the album is self-published, containing only four tracks. Seems nothing more than any indivudal trying to make a name for themselves (there's thousands of those out there). Therefore, he isn't notable as an individual per WP:MUSIC.  Grsz 11  18:00, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The SoCals, else delete. Notability consists of appearing on a TV game show as part of a larger group, and his group was neither a winner or finalist. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:58, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: as per Andrew. A "member of a notable group?"  This is a guy who sings with a school choir.  We don't have articles for everyone who's performed with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Tanglewood Festival Chorus or the Robert Shaw Chorale, however much they're all internationally famous choruses with hundreds of recordings between them.  This is way, way down there in the WP:MUSIC subbasement.    Ravenswing  07:21, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect nn person, but plausible search term.  TheWeak Willed   (T * G) 15:14, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. The Socal Vocals have atleast 13 members, weakening any claim to notability solely based on being a member of that group\. Perhaps the SoCal Vocal page can have a section listing all its members, and we can redirect all its members' names to that section.-- Pink  Bull  04:26, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
