Tony Scaglione

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Musician who has no notability outside of the band he played for, namely Whiplash. None of the other members of that band have their own articles and just because the drummer filled in on drums with Slayer once or twice doesn't make him notable enough for a separate article. Should be deleted or at least redirected to the Whiplash article. - Burpelson AFB ✈ 19:24, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment WP:BAND says "Members of two notable bands are generally notable enough for their own article", and the article claims he is a member of Whiplash (band) and Slayer.  If he truly is a member of Slayer guidelines would suggest keeping, but if he filled in once or twice, then "members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band" would seem to apply.

 * He was never a member of Slayer. He filled in on the Reign in Pain tour after their original drummer quit halfway through, and before the tour ended in 1987 the original drummer had come back. He never appeared on any albums or recordings. - Burpelson AFB ✈ 21:28, 1 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Whiplash (band), as WP:BAND recommends. As noted above, it appears that while Scaglione filled in for Slayer, he was not a member of the band. If that's not the case I'll reconsider.  Gongshow  Talk 23:32, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Whiplash (band), as "Tony Scaglione" is a fairly plausible search term. Filling in on a Slayer tour does not count towards his notability. --sparkl!sm hey! 08:25, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
