As with his bandmates Articles for deletion/Shane Told and Articles for deletion/Paul Koehler, this is a WP:BLP of a musician whose notability exists within the context of a band, not as a standalone topic in his own right. Although this article does cite more legitimately reliable sources than either Told's or Koehler's do, the acceptable sources are still very much in the minority compared to the primary and/or unreliable ones — and even among the good sources, the only one in which Rousseau himself is the actual subject of the reference (as opposed to just being namechecked) is #7, which is covering him only in the context of having had to take a couple of weeks off from the band for emergency abdominal surgery. All of which means that nothing here demonstrates that he has the independent notability necessary to stand alone as a separate article — if a musician's only substantive claim of notability is "member of a notable band", and he cannot claim independent notability for anything else besides that, then as per WP:NMUSIC he gets to be a redirect to the band and not a poorly sourced standalone BLP.
