Previously kept but after removing references to progarchives.com, we are left with only one reference. Most of the arguments in the previous deletion discussion seemed to amount to WP:NOTINHERITED. So this article seems to fail WP:N/WP:GNG. Sikonmina (talk) 05:38, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Barclay James Harvest. His solo album can be mentioned there. His work outside of that band has gained no reliable notice, and this solo article attempts to add non-notable tidbits about his personal life. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 16:23, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with redirection if this helps to preserve the article's history. Sikonmina (talk) 07:19, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Prior keep needs more input for consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star   Mississippi  00:08, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - That "prior keep" was from 2005, when musical notability guidelines were embryonic and far more lenient than they are now. Also note that two people voted in the 2005 discussion and both said the article needed to be improved, which was not exactly a ringing endorsement even then. Those ancient events should not cause this AfD to fall into "no consensus" purgatory in 2021, for little reason other than WP:BUREAUCRACY. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 16:23, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
