This person is absolutely not notable outside of his one band (his other band doesn't yet scratch the surface of notability. The only thing that is relevant at all is this interview here, but one interview does not notability make. A redirect to the band was reverted, so here we are.

Comment. There is quite a bit of coverage of Mikey Way and his new band has received some coverage: MTV, NME, Rock Sound, Rock Sound (front cover showing there's an article inside), Kerrang! interview, Kerrang!, Belfast Telegraph, Allmusic bio, and he has a signature bass produced by Squier ([1]). So the state of this article probably is not representative of the coverage that exists. --Michig (talk) 07:24, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mikey Way's old band, My Chemical Romance, retains notability and an active fanbase, while his new bands gains notoriety (having recently released an EP.) Way was also featured on the cover of AP Magazine not too long ago (http://www.altpress.com/magazine/issue/309_100_bands_you_need_to_know) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Volatileinferno (talk • contribs) 08:40, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Way is a notable muscian being covered by the press multiple times since the start of MCR and is notable outside of MCR having played with other bands as well. I.Wont.Give.In (talk) 17:00, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The sources in the article and listed here establish notability for Way above and beyond any one band. Alansohn (talk) 03:49, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
