Spencer Mallinson

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of a musician with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The article is written in the first person, cites a single brief namecheck in a book, and rests his notability on having very briefly been in a notable band — however, NMUSIC permits a musician whose notability is band-dependent to have a separate standalone article only if they can be reliably sourced as having independent notability for something independent of the band (such as solo albums). And looking at the band's article, his membership was extremely brief at best — the founding member that Mallinson claims to have replaced was actually replaced within two weeks by a permanent new member who wasn't Mallinson, so even if Mallinson's claim is true he was in the band for a grand total of 10-14 days at most. And all of this occurred before the band had even recorded its first album, meaning they weren't even notable yet. NMUSIC normally recommends a redirect to the band, but I don't think that's appropriate in this case, as his membership in the band isn't even hinted at in the band's article. Delete.
