Non-notable member of two notable bands. The two sources are passing mentions. I cannot find more that passing mentions in my WP:BEFORE. Fails WP:GNG and not enough coverage to meet the criteria in WP:MUSICBIO. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:27, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Someone may have thought Matera was eligible for his own article because he has been in two notable bands, but he has no coverage in his own right and he apparently has no notable activities outside the two bands. His membership in each is mentioned at their articles and that is sufficient. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 20:31, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Just noticed from the article's talk page, it seems that the article's creator is also the article's subject. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:51, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
