Jason Hart (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Has had a notability template since 2014 and appears to fail to meet WP:NMUSIC. He is a session guitarist who later formed The Orange Lights, who themselves are at AFD. Even if The Orange Lights were notable, there's nothing to suggest that Jason is independently.

 * Delete - Subject lacks coverage in reliable sources. His band is not notable either. Meatsgains (talk) 18:59, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete both as failing WP:MUSICBIO. Bearian (talk) 18:07, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge to The Orange Lights. Some coverage of him as an individual, but can be covered adequately there. --Michig (talk) 09:25, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Following on from my comment at The Orange Lights, I'm alarmed that you consider that link as something relevant enough to even bring up as coverage. It's a small corner of a local newspaper's website, running a series on "the best of the city's music talent". Are you suggesting that this sort of thing actually indicates notability at all? Wikipedia would become a hive of articles about local unsigned bands if it did. It just worries me a bit that you would throw out such links, what in that article would form the basis for even a merge? It's essentially a press release, overstating achievements (those festivals were as a session musician) and the usual cliché of listing his producer's famous bands. As an aside, that piece strengthens my view for straight deletion, no merge. KaisaL (talk) 14:13, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Really, identified coverage (and no, it's nothing like a press release) makes you more inclined to delete? Bizarre reasoning. You don't seem to understand the difference between being notable enough for an article and being worth mentioning in another article. If we have an article on a band, one of the key band members' previous bands and solo work is certainly worth mentioning there. --Michig (talk) 16:34, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure it's especially civil to suggest a fellow administrator doesn't understand the notability guidelines. I'm very familiar with local music press and it simply isn't relevant - The Orange Lights themselves shouldn't have an article, and an obscure session musician therefore doesn't need any coverage either. I think I'll leave my arguments on that there. KaisaL (talk) 15:07, 27 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete as still nothing substantially better and searches haven't found nothing, simply nothing else to suggest better at all. SwisterTwister   talk  04:54, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
