Unsourced BLP (I don't consider external links to MySpace, Youtube and a band web site sources). No indications that this individual meets WP:MUSICBIO. Redirect to band was reverted. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 17:03, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - "Members of two notable bands are generally notable enough for their own article." He satisfies this almost as one of the two bands he plays with are notable, while the other is semi-notable as they have "released two or more albums on a major label".

 * Keep, clearly notable as a member of several important bands. Also has done guest appearances etc. Nomination lacks WP:BEFORE.-- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  18:52, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Member of multiple notable bands. JulesH (talk) 21:03, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. This individual definitely meets criteria #5 and #6 of WP:MUSICBIO. The article is lacking sources but deletion is not the solution. --Nova Weaver (talk) 00:20, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, fails notability per WP:MUSIC. He personally hasn't released any albums, the bands he was in did, so he doesn't meet #5, since notability is not inherited. #6 talks about the possible notability of a band due to the involvement of a member who was in another notable band, and doesn't actually concern the individual member itself. As for the quote that was used earlier, I'm going to quote some of the rest of it to put it back in to context, "unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases". While the notability of his previous 2 bands is without question, there is  no significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources to show stand alone notability for Fredrik Johansson outside of those bands, so he actually fails to meet WP:MUSIC by a mile.

 * Comment: WP:MUSICBIO also states the following right after the bit you qouted, "Members of two notable bands are generally notable enough for their own article." Fredrik was a member of two notable bands and is currently a member of a new notable band. Also WP:NOTINHERITED is an essay, not an official policy nor a guideline so that is not something you can use as a valid argument. --Nova Weaver (talk) 21:26, 20 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete: agree with Esradekan. Has no stand alone notability, no solo releases or awards. JamesBurns (talk) 03:26, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:GNG. Other notability criteria are subordinate guidelines. WP:N is WP:N., .  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 07:10, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:GNG calls for significant coverage. None of those links show anything he has done outside of the bands.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 11:27, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * A cursory search finds that he does indeed have coverage in reliable sources per the GNG: The Hindu, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe, Agence Science-Presse, The Gauntlet, MTV, and others... worldwide. Meeting the GNG is a slam-dunk.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:46, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * REDIRECT to main band article. He has no independent releases. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 14:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
