This musician is not notable and does not pass WP:MUSICBIO. Gorrad (talk) 20:42, 8 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Satisfies WP:MUSICBIO per 1 and 6. I just added two books that discuss Payne (I'll add page numbers later, when I have access to the books), and Payne was a member of Funkadelic and Parliament. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 21:24, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per WP:MUSICBIO, "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria: 1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself." The reliable sources researched and added to the article by Gorrad establishes notability of the topic. Northamerica1000 (talk) 08:08, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Would be good to inline the references if possible, but assuming they are more than passing mentions (I don't have access to the texts), they constitute a pass of WP:MUSICBIO, per Northamerica1000. Yunshui (talk) 10:06, 15 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep In addition to his decades-long involvement with Parliament and Funkadelic, he also was a member (briefly) of another notable band, Rockets.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  07:03, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
