No notability outside The Farm (U.S. band). Does not meet WP:MUSICBIO on his own. No secondary sourcing found that does not relate to The Farm; sources in article are not reliable. Redirects constantly undone by, an obvious WP:SPA. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 05:21, 19 September 2013 (UTC) Does have notability outside The Farm; does meet Music Bio on his own, does have reliable article sources, does have sources not related to The Farm. Has been part of country music industry since 1998 when he joined the band High Noon which is in the Minnesota Country Music Hall of Fame. From 2000 to 2012 he was a member of the Kenny Chesney band. Toured for over a decade with him and was recorded on his albums and dvd; dvd had nationwide theater release pre store release. The Farm formed in 2011. In 2012 He won the Country Music Association Touring Musician of the Year award. Lizfarm (talk) 11:04, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Farm (U.S. band). Frankly, I'm surprised User:Lizfarm hadn't been warned for all the reverts she did, but I took care of that.  Erpert  WHAT DO YOU WANT??? 08:39, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge to The Farm (U.S. band). He does appear to have some notability outside of that band, particularly as part of Kenny Chesney's band, and there are sources covering him but he seems to be best known for The Farm and his other activities could easily be summarised there. --Michig (talk) 13:16, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep per sources from Michig. Meets WP:N and while the best editorial decision might be to merge, there does appear to be plenty about this artist that is independent of the FARM. No overwhelming objection to a merge, especially as the article as written is overly promotional. Hobit (talk) 09:07, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
