fails musician notability criteria - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 14:31, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete No claim of any notability. Dgf32 (talk) 16:07, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom; non-notable musician. -- Orange Mike  |  Talk  16:19, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Former member of notable band (that I was somewhat surprised to find without their own Wikipedia article), Mirza (AMG link); if any more coverage as meaty as the SF Weekly article could be found, I'd probably tip the other way. (Disclosure: I was asked to come here.) — Hello, Control Hello, Tony  16:36, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete nowhere even close to passing WP:MUSIC. Probably Jewelled Antler should go too, but that's a seperate issue. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:50, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Very strong keep - I'm really surprised at the comments made after the article was in its current state. This guy has an article about him in the SF Weekly, an article on Piero Scaruffi's site, was a member of several notable bands (many of whom, granted, don't have articles yet but easily satisfy WP:MUSIC on their own; he and his work are covered on All Music in those articles: 1 2 3 4 - those are just the articles and reviews that list Chasse by name; the Thuja article has several reviewed albums as well.  Pitchfork Media has also reviewed albums from Chasse's bands (1 2), and even mentions Chasse in relation to Jeweled Antler even for albums he didn't personally play in (1 2).  All this AND the essay was AfD'd fifteen minutes after creation while an established editor was still working on it - where was the assumption of good faith? The SF Weekly article was already linked when it was nominated.  &mdash;Torc.  ( Talk.  ) 04:41, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per Torc. -- Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 00:27, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per the rationale provided by Torc2, I believe that this subject does pass WP:MUSIC, just marginally. (jarbarf) (talk) 20:33, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
