While this musician has been part of multiple notable bands, I can't find any significant coverage of him individually, nor any other indication of individual notability to satisfy WP:MUSICBIO. Lennart97 (talk) 22:50, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

• Redirect to Criteria (band). He has done little outside of that band. He was not a member of Bright Eyes but a one-time guest. He was in Beep Beep (band) but they are not very notable either. Criteria seems like the best redirect target. Occasional guest appearances on other people's records can be described briefly at the Criteria article. Also, when searching, beware of a baseball player of the same name. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 01:30, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
• Delete not even close to meeting our inclusion criteria for musicians.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:08, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
• Redirect as suggested and per WP:CHEAP. That has been our usual way out with marginally notable musicians whose only real claim to fame is they once playing in a notable band. Bearian (talk) 18:06, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
