The result was keep Seems to be consensus that the content merits inclusion. A discussion could be held on the talk page as to exactly where, but I don't see any clear merge target, so it's probably best in its own article. ansh 666 02:25, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Danny Boy (rapper)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:MUSICBIO. Appears to have little independent notability outside of his work with House of Pain. A search for sources brought back articles about Danny Boy (singer), or this Danny Boy's association with House of Pain, or this Danny Boy's struggles with addiction and criminal charges.

 * Keep. Firtsly, if a member of a notable band doesn't have sufficient notability outside the band, or enough to write about to merit a separate article, the thing to do is to merge and redirect the article to the band, not to start an AfD. The question then is does this individual justify an article? Most of the coverage I found related to his membership of House of Pain, but some didn't:, , , , , , , , , , . There's enough coverage of his other group, La Coka Nostra among them to make it notable, which means he satisfies WP:NMUSIC as a key member of two notable bands. If the article were to be expanded using the available sources I feel it would be viable as a standalone. --Michig (talk) 20:07, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources easily found by Michig and clearly passing WP:NMUSIC. GuzzyG (talk) 07:33, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Merge to the article about the band. Not convinced that he is notable enough as an individual to warrant his own article. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 01:48, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
 * What band then? He is a member of two notable bands, which means he passes WP:NMUSIC criterion 6. GuzzyG (talk) 09:03, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
 * GuzzyG I had in mind the group House of Pain. Yes, he has also been involved in the so-called "supergroup" La Coka Nostra. I'm not aware that La Coka Nostra have achieved any significant success. If they have, I stand to be corrected. We're all entitled to our views in the discussion and of course you're entitled to disagree with me and put forward the point of view that rapper Danny Boy deserves his own article. Regards.
