Fails WP:BAND. The article has had a lot of recent turmoil because of disruptive editing by the article subject, who has now been indeffed. A bit hard to search for secondary sources as the name is common. Mostly, though, all I find is that he played for bands but is not notable for his own sake. Could be redirected, but not clear to which of the two bands. Bbb23 (talk) 16:35, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment – I tried to research this subject last week and came up quite empty handed. I considered, but didn't nominate here because I saw WP:BAND (6): ...has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles. I had a look at Cephalic Carnage and Origin, which didn't jump out at me as worth questioning notability-wise. Since we can't re-factor the WP:BAND guideline at this AfD, it might be best to revisit this BLP if and when guidelines are revised. JFHJr (㊟) 20:11, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, JFHJr, I didn't notice that. I am willing to withdraw the nomination.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:21, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
