The result was keep. Sandstein 17:08, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Tagged as nn-bio speedy, but playing with a whole bunch of bluelinks and other stuff in the article means that it does not qualify. However, the impact and nature of those performances probably requires investigation. Splash - tk 21:25, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete As its stands, without sources or a notable discography, it doesn't fly with WP:MUSIC in my opinion Dick G 03:00, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Above seems inconsistent with entry on fellow Xiu Xiu member Caralee McElroy, which is more of a biography.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.159.148.121 (talk) 03:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Only because it has slipped through the AfD net I suspect. Should probably be up for deletion as well for same reasons Dick G 04:31, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment As per above I am also nominating the following related pages:
- Weak keep as a hot mess of an article, but he passes notability under WP:MUSIC. He is the member, or former member, of a major band. I know... it's not inherited.... Bearian 00:54, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Did he play with those bands as a member or just a guest? The notabiliity requirement you're using (WP:MUSIC musicians #6) is if he was a full-fledged member. Nonetheless, with that many close calls I'd lean towards keep as well. Rigadoun (talk) 19:34, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- According to All Music Guide he is a member of Xiu Xiu, making him notable. --Bruce1ee 08:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I've added a few external links and expanded the discography. --Bruce1ee 11:22, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Could you do that for Caralee McElroy as well, the other person considered here? It might help establish her notability in this discussion. Rigadoun (talk) 19:35, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- ...done. As she is also a member of Xiu Xiu, that should make her notable as well. But where is her afd discussion page? The link on Caralee McElroy points here. --Bruce1ee 09:15, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Keep A musician is notable if WP:MUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles 6. "was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable" as a member of Xiu Xiu. dissolvetalk 00:32, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep - He does meet WP:MUSIC criterion #6, as a full fledged member of Xiu Xiu, as shown by the article's infobox, which lists him as a current member. Neranei (talk) 19:10, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
