Does not appear to meet WP:MUSICBIO. Notability all seems to be inherited from The Kooks as opposed to individually. Suggest redirect to The Kooks. PGWG (talk) 18:27, 29 June 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep, leaning to strong keep. The Kooks are a big enough band, and he gets enough coverage himself to have an article within WP:MUSICBIO, irrespective of a lack of solo releases. He's done significant news features on his own, such as this and this. He's also covered by major news sites as a celebrity in his own right, such as here and here. That's just from a quick search and this coverage goes back to 2005 or 2006 or so. The article is poor but he's established notability beyond the name of the band.

 * Keep as agree his projects outside the band have gained him enough coverage that he has independent notability for an individual article and that WP:BASIC is passed Atlantic306 (talk) 02:45, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
