Procedural nomination: this page was brought to RfD after it was converted to a redirect by new page reviewers. The discussion there suggested that the redirect itself was potentially misleading, and that the underlying notability of the original article subject was in dispute. AfD is the appropriate forum to address this remaining concern. Pinging involved editors Takemehome2night, Onel5969, Praxidicae. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 23:31, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Seems an uncontroversial failure of GNG; WP:AUTHOR Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:34, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I feel deletion is appropriate. Redirection to a band he had very little to do with and was technically never a member of is confusing and I do not agree with that choice. I checked the history of this article as I have been watching/helping this page for a while now. It was created in 2006 when it seems the author had more of a "rising" feel to his career. But since, he has taken a 16-year gap between releases, his early works have faded in popularity and seem to be out of print from what I can gather. Deletion is the best option for this article. If author's new books rise in popularity, then an editor can come along in time and undo it. Thanks, Takemehome2night (talk) 13:53, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As per above. Sliekid (talk) 02:37, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Interviews do not count towards passing GNG. I see no sourcing that would lead to passing GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:16, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
