Does not appear to meet WP:N or WP:MUSIC. No notability outside of a band. Unsourced BLP until 10/31/08, now I guess that doesn't apply. Redirect to band was reverted. Most ghits appear to be death notices. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 13:51, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep 12 Google book hits in reliable sources, including but not limited to  All Music Guide: The Experts Guide to the Best Recordings indicates notability. Although I lament and rail against editors who neglect to source their creations, such sourcing is available should anyone wish to bother. Deletion should be a last resort, undertaken when other efforts to improve an article have failed.   Dloh  cierekim  14:54, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * From what I can see in those book entries, they are all just mentioning him as a member of the band. Much like his name is mentioned in the band's article.  Based on these, it doesn't seem that he is notable outside the band.  They are all just summary articles/entries about the band.  He appears to be only of mention in the context of the band and nowhere else.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 21:49, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep This man is a punk legend, that should be more than enough to keep his article up on wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bearsville (talk • contribs) 16:53, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Descendents (band) -- none of the content in this article is appropriately sourced.  coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  18:55, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Dlohcierekim just showed there's at least reliable source available. Why the hurry to redirect? If there's one source of this quality there's bound to be more which can be added. - Mgm|(talk) 21:37, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep This man named and founded one of the most influential rock bands of the eighties. Had it not been for his efforts, many bands, such as Weezer, would not have been able to forge a path into the music business. This page may not be as informative as other pages on members of the Descendents (see Milo Aukerman, but given the current circumstances regarding his death, there is bound to be one or more visitors who realize the need for further information who are able to provide it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DEWadict (talk • contribs) 23:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep it. He was a founding member of one of the most influential punk bands ever! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.32.67.24 (talk • contribs) 10:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep This article just needs a re-write, and a spiffing up. Hamster Sandwich (talk) 15:26, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
