Member of a notable band. However, does not appear to have any significant solo activity outside of Kings of Leon (Wikipedia:MUSICBIO see italics at the end), relevant information here can easily be incorporated into band article. Another band is listed, however it does not appear to notable (as of now at least, should be the main crux of the discussion I think), thus the caveat does not apply here.

Just did some research on the "Jane Shermans", it should be disregarded. Followill is not a part of this band, which brings to question why it is even mentioned in "Associated Acts". One of the Jane Shermans "discovered" Kings of Leon. Thus, this should be pretty clear cut. Fixer23 (talk) 01:48, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This person is of sufficient status to meet general notability criteria on his own. Although he did come to fame only for being a member of one band, the interviews which reliable sources are collecting are pointedly personal and probe into him as an artist and not as a member of an ensemble. The article's subject seems to be a celebrity figure in his own right. The Sun Village Voice MTV It seems that this might be the case for all the band members, because they all get questioned in interviews for their opinions on musical technique. I am cross-posting this argument on the other band members' AfD debates. Blue Rasberry (talk) 04:08, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep per Blue Rasberry. I'll admit, I really wasn't sure about this either way when I first saw it. MobileSnail 04:58, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
