Jaret Reddick

This article does serve the incredibly usefull purpose of telling us what Reddicks favourite song is but unfortunately does not show that he has any real notability outside of his band. duffbeerforme (talk) 00:59, 31 July 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * In most cases, the name of a member of a notable band is just redirected to the band's article. In some cases, though, enough coverage of the individual leads to a split to a separate article. (To take an extreme example, Kurt Cobain is not just a redirect to Nirvana (band).) Jaret Reddick's coverage is mostly connected to his band Bowling for Soup, but I'm actually finding some news articles that focus just on him, rather than mentioning him in passing in an article about Soup. "Jaret Reddick: Punk Soup for the Soul" (July 28, 2006) is an interview with him for Voice of America News. "Chirpy Texans plan to bowl over fans: Jackie Butler chats to Bowling for Soup vocalist Jaret Reddick ahead of the pop punk outfit's return to Exeter" (October 23, 2009), an interview in the Western Morning News really just focuses on Reddick; same goes for "Comedic punks who just don't want to grow up: Texan pop-punk band Bowling For Soup: Lead singer Jaret Reddick talks touring to the Echo's Hannah Hope" (October 23, 2009) in Express & Echo. "Grammy news, baby make for wild week" (Saldana, Hector; January 10, 2003; San Antonio Express-News, p. H15) focuses on Reddick and his family. Those are just a few examples. I'd lean towards keep rather than a redirect. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 04:16, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep He's certainly notable. If all it contains is information about his favorite music, it should be expanded, not deleted. The Rhymesmith (talk) 13:02, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:05, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
