 * Redirect to Five Finger Death Punch; not notable enough for a separate article, but a plausible search term and redirects are cheap. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 14:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Is the article just too short? Because I can add a longer biography if needed... Epeu (talk) 01:31, 15 August 2009 (UTC) So he has to be in two bands at the same time? Because FFDP is his third band, but he's not in any other one. Epeu (talk) 16:41, 15 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * It's not really length thats the problem - the guideline to follow here is "Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases. Members of two notable bands are generally notable enough for their own article." (guideline from WP:BAND), so the individual members of this band should all redirect to Five Finger Death Punch Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 10:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Also other things that show notability are if they write books (such as the members of Korn) or if they have won awards. The Weak Willed 15:12, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The other band or bands would have to be notable enough for a wikipedia entry (which would have to be sourced and referenced accordingly) Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 09:41, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Redirect to Five Finger Death Punch. His notability outside the band is unproven. McMarcoP (talk) 09:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
