While he was a member of two notable bands, and has worked ith some notable bands, there isn't enough to sustain a stand-alone article based on my searches. Possible merge candidate.

Keep important figure (drummer) with several notable.bands and as a producer. Quite a bit of coverage in news sources.

Clearly important enough that you can find sources that support this claim to importance. I couldn't.

Keep Frivolous nomination, since the nominator himself admits the subject is notable. Together with other nominations this seems more like vendetta the nominator is on. ~

No, I admit the subject doesn't meet
WP:GNG. Closing admin, please notice that no sources exists to support notability.

Note to closing admin The article contains two claims to notability "Ken Coomer was the drummer for
Uncle Tupelo" and "Ken Coomer was the drummer for
Wilco". Both claims can be ascertained by dozens of sources. Neither claim is anywhere close to being in dispute. Nominator simply doesn't understand basic Wikipedia policy. ~

Yet not a single source finds the subject worthy of being written about. See GNG.

With which references? The ones in the article? Three are AllMusic biographies are associated with the bands and the subject is only mentioned in passing, and the interview only mentions Coomer in passing. I could not find any more online, could you?

Keep this seems to meet
WP:BAND#6 is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles. The rule is useful partially due to the difficulty in choosing a redirect target in this case. I can't find any in-depth biographies, but coverage like
[1] should be enough in this case.
