Non-notable musician. Wleklinski is listed on allmusic and other websites without any accompanying biography and only because of his previous association with Rise Against. Tim meh  !  20:40, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: trivial coverage, non-notable. JamesBurns (talk) 08:03, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Rise Against per the rubric to WP:BAND - "Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability" Tevildo (talk) 20:53, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Note that WP:BAND also says "Members of two notable bands are generally notable enough for their own article". As Wleklinski has been a member of both 88 Fingers Louie and Rise Against, this suggests that he should have his own article. --Zundark (talk) 18:24, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * This is an issue with the "inherited notability" criterion of WP:BAND. The bands that are notable in their own right are Rise Against and Alkaline Trio.  88 Fingers Louie is not notable in its own right, but, because some of its members went on to play with those bands, it gets an article.  I don't believe that this _automatically_ makes 88 Fingers Louie notable, so as to allow Mr Wleklinski in under the "two notable bands" criterion.  But I may be wrong.

 * Delete, article fails to establish notability per WP:MUSIC. No stand alone notability. no significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources. Redirect not possible.    Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 12:32, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
