Subject does not appear to meet any of the criteria listed at WP:MUSICBIO, only ref here is to an AllMusic listing, Google search doesn't turn up any in-depth discussion in reliable independent secondary sources. The previous deletion discussion had arguments like, "I can't even believe this is being argued. Mark Lind is one of the most talented musicians Boston has ever seen. Considering the massive amount of talent that has come out of this city, THAT is saying something. " with no reference to support that claim. Also, Google hits aren't how Wikipedia articles are based— if he is notable, there should be actual published discussions of him (if those exist somewhere).

 * Delete: Looks like one of those crap WP:ILIKEIT AfD results common in Wikipedia's earlier days, studded with SPAs, when closing admins who made policy-over-headcount decisions were both rare and raked over the coals. Fails the GNG and MUSICBIO, and I can't see any genuine evidence of notability for this Ducky Boys band the subject is/was in either.   Ravenswing    12:35, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Ducky Boys - (Note: The automatic function to link multiple AfDs included two that are irrelevant to this discussion. Lindquist and the guy with the castle in his name are different people.) Anyway, it turns out that Mark Lind has achieved a little bit of musical notability with his long-time band The Ducky Boys and his name can be redirected there. That band article needs some help of its own but can be considered separately. This article for Lind himself probably exists because he has released some solo albums, but I can find no significant and reliable coverage of any of his solo works or concert performances. All sources found are routine concert listings, retail/streaming sites, and self-promotion. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 15:21, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
