Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a musician, not reliably sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The notability claim here is as a member of a band, which is not an "inherent" notability freebie in and of itself -- in order to qualify for a standalone article as a separate topic from the band, he would need to establish his own independent notability by either (a) independently passing WP:NMUSIC for a solo career after the band ended, or (b) independently passing WP:GNG on the volume and depth of reliable source media coverage about him (as opposed to just mentioning his name in the process of being about the band as a whole.) But there are no properly cited footnotes here, and instead three straight "external links" are the only references -- but two of those three links are primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and while the third external link was an actual news article about him, it takes a lot more than just one reliable source to get a person over GNG. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a lot more referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 20:42, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
