 * Delete: References are all to directories, home pages, and other unreliable sources. Excessive number of external links smacks of self-promotion. ubiquity (talk) 18:08, 6 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails Notability (people) no significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources, which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other and independent of the subject.Theroadislong (talk) 19:00, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep He meets our notability guideline for musicians which states that "a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles" qualifies for an article. Fury has been a member of at least four notable bands during his career. I have wikilinked to those bands in the article. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  04:51, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't see "reasonably prominent" . can you elaborate? He is only mentioned as a "past member" in The Lords of the New Church and The Dogs D'Amour with none of the text about members cycling in and out even mentioning when he was a member. Sham 69 shows him as a member for 1 year after the breakup and output of any notable materials. He was with Vain (band) for only 1 album.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  14:42, 8 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment: Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases. Theroadislong (talk) 08:51, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Reply That is the case for musicians who have been members of one notable band. When a musician has been a member of multiple notable bands, as in this case, there is no logical redirect target and an article such as this one is appropriate per the notability guideline.

 * Keep. Per Notability (music) ; member of multiple notable bands. Neither the nomination nor the delete !votes address this. Epeefleche (talk) 19:57, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - nothing in the sources, as was stated in the delete comment, gives any indication of notability. There is no indication he was "a reasonably prominent member" of any of the bands in the article. Onel5969 (talk) 02:25, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. He's a significant enough member of a number of notable bands that he is at least a valid search term for those bands, and this article does the job of directing the reader to the articles on those bands. None of the arguments for deletion deal with the fact that he is a valid search term and if he was a member of only one of these bands would be at least a redirect. As a member of multiple bands a short article with links to them is the best approach for the reader. --Michig (talk) 07:58, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:MUSICBIO states, "a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles" which he appears to clearly satisfy. Some fairly big heavyweights (like ) that have had a lot to do with the shaping of WP:NMUSIC proposing keep. Mkdw talk 08:20, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
