  Per WP:BANDMEMBER, "Members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability." What has Chris Williams done outside of Control Denied that is notable? 162 etc. (talk) 18:41, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Control Denied. The previous voter clearly did not read those many sources and may not have even read their titles, because they are all about Williams's notable bandmate Chuck Schuldiner, and some don't even mention Williams at all. Those that do mention him only have a brief listing of his presence in Control Denied. Williams's only other accomplishments were with non-notable local bands and he was only in Control Denied for a year. Nowhere close to independently notable per the WP:BANDMEMBER guideline. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:33, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Control Denied, I couldn't find sufficient evidence of notability for a separate article. Suonii180 (talk) 14:03, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect--no evidence of independent notability. Drmies (talk) 14:05, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
