Non-notable musician. Fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. Despite the subject being a part of two notable bands, there is nothing written about the subject that cannot be addressed in one of t he two band articles. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:44, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete one review is not going to make anyone notable, GNG is built around multiple sources. Plus, if someone is part of a band even two reviews are not going to be enough.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:21, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete and/or redirect to The Guess Who. Members of bands are not automatically entitled to have their own standalone BLPs as separate topics from the band just because they exist — and that's especially the case when the band member has nothing whatsoever to do with what made the band notable in the first place, but is associated only with the non-recording boomer-nostalgia-tour phase of the band's life span. To qualify for his own article independently of the band, he would have to be the subject of a hell of a lot more reliable sourcing than this is even attempting to show.

 * Redirect to The Guess Who. Nothing suggests that he is notable outside his band. CAVETOWNFAN (talk) 14:02, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Guess Who. Sharp has appeared on one album by the "modern" version of the band, a barely-noticed release in 2018, but he is only ever covered as a member of their not-so-notable nostalgia phase, and none of his previous band memberships are independently notable either. He can be, and already is, discussed at the band's article. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 17:57, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
