Russell Pollard

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This guy has been in several indie-rock bands of very marginal notability. (one of which is also currently at AFD) I see no evidence that he has any notability as an individual separate from his participation in several obscure bands. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:26, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Member of The Folk Implosion, Sebadoh, Earlimart, and Everest, all of which are notable, and not marginally so.--Michig (talk) 07:21, 18 November 2011 (UTC) ...and Alaska!, a band which has also received plenty of coverage - see that article's AFD. See also Huffington Post interview, Spinner interview, OC Weekly, etc.--Michig (talk) 07:33, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Former member of Sebadoh. Carrite (talk) 16:17, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 * That's obviously an WP:INHERIT argument. Beeblebrox (talk) 16:53, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 * He satisfies WP:MUSIC and WP:GNG guidelines, both of which carry more weight than an essay.--Michig (talk) 17:08, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Three notable bands, etc. Probably of interest to users. No positive gain to the encyclopedia to offset the loss inherent in deletion. Carrite (talk) 05:03, 25 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - Okay, let's setting this once and for all. HERE is a short interview with Russell Pollard from the San Francisco Examiner, an ultra-mainstream, large circulation paper newspaper. Carrite (talk) 05:10, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * And THIS is a page off the New Music Express website that collects various Russell Pollard thingies, including video interviews. Carrite (talk) 05:13, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * And AN INTERVIEW with Russell Pollard and Jason Soda of Everest in Chicago Now. Carrite (talk) 05:16, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The nominator probably won't be wowwed by ANOTHER INTERVIEW with Russell Pollard conducted by Web In Front, but if I were improving this piece, I'd give it a look. Carrite (talk) 05:18, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * IN THE SAME VEIN is this interview with Russell Pollard from the website In Music We Trust. Carrite (talk) 05:20, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * AND ANOTHER from that same source, which is indicative of this artist's stature in the indie rock world. By the way, this is also worthy of mention in conjunction with the ongoing second challenge of Alaska!, a Pollard project. Carrite (talk) 05:22, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, fuck, you have to be kidding me. This is the Guided by Voices guy. Snow this. Here's something that anyone following WP:BEFORE might be advised to make part of their repertoire when challenging indie rock artists, a SEARCH OF THE ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE SITE for the phrase "Russell Pollard." It generates 474 hits. Take your pick. Carrite (talk) 05:26, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Over and out. Carrite (talk) 05:26, 25 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - Check that, I am a moron. Wrong Pollard. Carrite (talk) 05:39, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
