Thomas Bangalter

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

One half of the notable electronic duo Daft Punk but no indication of independent notability. Merge or redirect to Daft Punk.

Also nominating: (1) Roulé (vanity label of Thomas Bangalter) (2) Together (French band) (another musical project of Thomas Bangalter) (3) Irréversible (soundtrack) (an album by Thomas Bangalter)

 * Keep. The ample coverage on reliable independent sources, with and without his partner to duo Daft Punk, (just search Google News) is enough to establish notability per WP:ENT. Some of the other articles might call for a valid discussion separately, but the bundle of everything together actually makes it a Strong Keep. -- IsaacSt (talk) 17:57, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Isaac, the sources are about Daft Punk, not about Thomas Bangalter as an individual musician. Almost all Google search results show "Bangalter and his partner Guy". Also, WP:ENT does not apply here as it's for entertainers not musicians. WP:MUSICBIO would be the appropriate notability criteria. - The   Magnificentist  18:12, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The more specific WP:MUSICBIO calls for the same: "subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable". He has many non-trivial mentions with or without Guy-Manuel (e.g. ). Since you mention WP:MUSICBIO, criteria 10 reads: "performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a ….. notable film". Irréversible, for which he made the soundtrack, is definitely notable, so even that alone is enough. -- IsaacSt (talk) 18:42, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep most. Keep Thomas Bangalter. Significant member of multiple notable bands WP:MUSIC#6. Has coverage of solo work. Keep Irréversible (soundtrack). By notable artist, for notable film, have coverage from independent reliable sources. If you don't think it's enough for a standalone article merging to the films article is the best option. Deletion should Not occur. Keep Together (French band). Charting. Redirect/Merge Roulé to Thomas Bangalter, lacks independent notability. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:21, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Loads of independent notability for other projects, remixes, soundtracks, and so on. KaisaL (talk) 13:58, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
