Not sure if this is a hoax but I'm pretty certain that the subject does not meet WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG. Can not find any reliable sources to establish notability. Not even mentioned at Mötley Crüe, the band he is supposed to be a founding member of, if he was I would simply redirect there. J04n(talk page) 02:27, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge: I've found a reference to this person, in French, in the book Motley Crue: the dirt. If my crappy French serves me properly (and if this doesn't constitute a BLP violation?!) it reads "They auditioned a slightly dense guy named O'Dean, who had a voice that sounded somewhere between The Cult and Scorpions. He was a very good singer, he had an incredible voice, but Nikki [Sixx] didn't like the fact that he didn't sing like Brian Connolly from Sweet. The other problem with O'Dean was the fact that he always wore a pair of very clean white gloves, which he thought were integral to his "look"." The book goes on to talk about how he refused to take off these gloves while performing, including when he was supposed to clap, to Nikki Sixx's considerable chagrin.
 * This Italian rock encyclopedia also makes a passing reference to the "disappointing" (deludente) O'Dean as a predecessor to Vince Neil in the lineup.
 * Soooo... I think that's enough to establish the guy's existence sufficient for a merge into the main Crue article. There's no coverage of him outside the context of the band, so I see no reason to sustain an independent article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gonzonoir (talk • contribs)


 * Merge (a little) to early history of Motley Crue. I agree totally with User:Gonzonoir who wrote the detailed Merge rationale above but neglected to sign the comment. O'Dean can be mentioned briefly in the history of Motley Crue with some basic references to "The Dirt" and the other stuff found by Gonzonoir. But he doesn't remotely merit the level of detail found in his article now. Merge a few pieces of info to Motley Crue and ditch the rest. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 18:35, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the missing sig headsup; I am having a slightly dense phase myself. Resolved above... sigh... Gonzonoir (talk) 20:25, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
