Dave Trumfio

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Disputed prod. Doesn't appear to meet the notability criteria for artists or, specifically, music bios.  Claret Ash  06:42, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. You could try a Google search. Trumfio is a notable musician who was in The Pulsars with his brother, and is also a renowned producer. As a musician, he has played in the undeniably notable The Pulsars (which is currently a redirect to this article and in which he did everything other than playing the drums), with Sally Timms, The Aluminum Group, Pigface, Ashtray Boy, and The Mekons. As a producer he is well known, including for his work with Wilco, Franklin Bruno, Sally Timms,  Built to Spill, Patrick Park, Floraline, Certain Distant Suns, The Baldwin Brothers, Number One Cup, and many others.--Michig (talk) 07:46, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Note. I have reverted the nominator's redirect of The Pulsars to this article as there were references there which were not merged, and there is clearly sufficient coverage to support an article on the band.--Michig (talk) 11:07, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, the references weren't merged because the article wasn't merged, merely redirected. As my edit summary stated, I believed there to be no substantial content not already at the other article.  Claret Ash  11:34, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * And references demonstrating the subject's notability are not 'substantive content'?--Michig (talk) 16:08, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't know if they're "substantive" content. When I referred to substantial content, though, I was referring to the actual text of the article, not the refs supporting that text. As there didn't appear to be anything substantial being said that wasn't already covered at Dave Trumfio, and as the relevant material at the destination article had its own refs, merging the Pulsars refs seemed unnecessary. If you want to add them, though, then add them. But can we please end this little side discussion and get back to the topic of this AfD.  Claret Ash  00:42, 8 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Snow keep. Yeesh.  Per the above.--Epeefleche (talk) 01:30, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Ummm... per above. -- Whpq (talk) 18:23, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I guess he meets the criteria.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:35, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
