The result was redirect to
Meshuggah. I specifically rejected the argument to keep which suggested we could find better sources on the band's own website. That's pretty much the definition of not a
WP:RS. There's no reason to delete the history; it may be useful for material to merge. Such a merge is clearly not part of the consensus, but not prohibited either. --

Unreliable sources ; All except 1 (the loudwire article) are unreliable. I cannot access the Loudwire article due to GDPR access prevention.
Also contains
WP:FLOWERY language like famous and unique while those claims are not sourced. »

Delete. I have seen the Loudwire article and it does not go into any kind of detail about Kidman's life or career, which would be necessary to satisfy notability requirements. Instead, the article says that Kidman was replaced by a cardboard cutout on tour dates during a period of illness. There are statements from the band and from Kidman, but nothing to establish notability beyond being a member of the band.

Keep. I think more should be (and could be) included about Jens Kidman's life and career. This article shouldn't necessarily be deleted. Sure, there aren't enough referenced bits of news on his page, but that could be easily fixed. More properly referenced articles about Jens could be found if we look a little harder on the internet or on Meshuggah's official website.

Keep - Article needs improvements. But from what I can tell the singer is notable per WP:GNG. Also per Mr. Brains rationale.

Redirect to
Meshuggah perhaps? on his own, he does not appear to meet GNG. I found a couple of excerpts via google books, but they were all passing mentions as lead singer of Messhuggah. There was one
here of a couple of paragraphs, but it was about his voice/the bands treatment of one particular song. No biographical material at all. There is random stuff around, but it all seems to be youtube interviews, or fan wiki stuff, so not much RS. I am assuming the two above editors werent able to find any either, as they didnt post anything, or add any to the article.
