As a band member of The Trews, he is already discussed in the band's article. There are no sources indicating notability for single performances that would justify a separate article, per BAND, and therefore this page should be deleted. JGHowes ^talk 02:59, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, without prejudice against the recreation of a redirect to The Trews. Band members are not automatically entitled to have their own standalone WP:BLP separately from being discussed in the band's article, unless they can be reliably sourced as having standalone notability for some substantive reason (e.g. solo albums) outside of the band context. But this literally just states that he exists as a band member, the end, which is not enough. And there's no substantive reason why we would need to retain the edit history behind a redirect, so we should delete and then redirect rather than just immediately redirecting with the edit history intact.

Delete. No point redirecting as the term includes disambiguation; the more appropriate place would be a note to The Trews in Colin MacDonald. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 17:29, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
