 * Delete - single source found on Google News relates to appearance of VH1, but I can find nothing else of note. Fails WP:MUSICBIO. -- Scjessey (talk) 14:56, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete just not seeing any real notability for the subject matter here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:50, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: All that I can find is trivial mentions. Fails WP:BIO. Joe Chill (talk) 15:01, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep additional changes look good to me. Not that I necessarily get the topic... but the only reason I can think to delete is that I think it looks like a dumb, unimportant article.  Wait, this is Wikipedia... that's not a reason.  Someone more versed in the subject matter could give a better answer, but as a bystander I say keep.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:32, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * He meets WP:MUSICBIO criterion #6, as a member of notable bands Twisted Method, Makeshift Romeo, and Dope. In addition to the source noted by Scjessey, there's a mention in New Wave of American Heavy Metal, and that confirms his membership in two of those three bands. The concert review "Fans exult in screaming metal frenzy" (The Columbus Dispatch, August 4, 2003, p. B6) comments specifically on Tribbett's performance as part of one of his bands. And I found an article that discusses his involvement with Dope and Twisted Method, and several quotes from an interview with him (Iwasaki, Scott. "Bands excited about Apathy tour", Deseret News, October 8, 2004, p. W11). Taken together, that's enough evidence of notability for a keep, in my view.
