The result was redirect to In Legend. As editors have noted, meeting one criteria for WP:BAND isn't a guarantee of notability. However, the suggestion that we should not maintain a redirect is definitely wrong ("redirects are cheap") and someone who searches for this person's name should find something useful. Given that I have to choose one or the other, there's a slight numerical preference for In Legend, and a stronger argument, so I've chosen that as the target.

Non-notable musician. His name gets no hits on Google News, and no hits on Google Books. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 22:25, 9 March 2013 (UTC) reply
Reply - IMHO, "toss a coin" is not a good solution to determine to which band a musician redirects if both bands are equally notable. In this case, the musician's article acts as a "disambiguation page" of sorts. IMHO, it is better, when someone types in Hughell or Pitruzzella that it shows all of the bands that the person has been a part of, instead of just saying that the musician does not have any page at all, and requiring the reader to sift through search results. That is what an encyclopedia is all about. If it is properly sourced that the musician belongs to the notable bands in question, then the page should remain. If one or zero of the bands are notable, then the musician might not warrant a page. -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 02:46, 10 March 2013 (UTC) reply

Reply - Again, if both of the bands are equally notable, how in Sam's Hell will we decide to which article the musician should be redirected? -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 00:53, 11 March 2013 (UTC) reply
"bastian emig" "van canto"
and
19,000 ghits for "bastian emig" "in legend"
... so unless somebody has some contrary data, we should redirect to
In Legend. --
