Keep He meets our
notability guideline for musicians which states that "a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles" qualifies for an article. Fury has been a member of at least four notable bands during his career. I have wikilinked to those bands in the article.

Comment: Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases.

Reply That is the case for musicians who have been members of one notable band. When a musician has been a member of multiple notable bands, as in this case, there is no logical redirect target and an article such as this one is appropriate per the notability guideline.

Comment - nothing in the sources, as was stated in the delete comment, gives any indication of notability. There is no indication he was "a reasonably prominent member" of any of the bands in the article.

Keep. He's a significant enough member of a number of notable bands that he is at least a valid search term for those bands, and this article does the job of directing the reader to the articles on those bands. None of the arguments for deletion deal with the fact that he is a valid search term and if he was a member of only one of these bands would be at least a redirect. As a member of multiple bands a short article with links to them is the best approach for the reader. --

KeepWP:MUSICBIO states, "a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles" which he appears to clearly satisfy. Some fairly big heavyweights (like
Michig) that have had a lot to do with the shaping of
WP:NMUSIC proposing keep.
