This musician is not independently notable from the bands he played in. No RS in article, and my WP:BEFORE only uncovered mentions in passing. Mottezen (talk) 03:32, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - There is no good target for a redirect because he was with each of the two blue-linked bands only briefly and was only ever mentioned in passing in the credits for a few releases by each. The same is true of his two more recent bands as well. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 20:28, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. Just passes GNG. Here is an album review. This source indicates he produced an album for LaBradford (page 574)/ I did find three articles which discuss his work with bands he has played with. See below. There is also a trivial mention here, and an interview discussing him. 4meter4 (talk) 02:26, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
