Lacks notabilty. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. No notability independent of his band. duffbeerforme ( talk) 10:57, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

The article notes:
"I bring joy to people who otherwise couldn't afford to see the Stones," says Glen Carroll, the band's Mick Jagger doppelganger.
...
Carroll is an interesting case study among rock-and-roll tribute actors. Never mind that he looks the part (right down the pouty lips and handsome wrinkles), or that he moves and sings like Jagger, nailing the singer's preeny poses and transatlantic bray. It's that he seems to be living somebody else's rock-and-roll lifestyle. He guzzles beer and smokes where no smoking is allowed and hits on just about every woman he encounters. He also talks himself up as a man of wealth and taste. Something about Sticky Fingers being paid as much as $10,000, though that kind of payday usually only comes overseas, Carroll says.
"I have a house on the water in Florida," he says. "I have a Mercedes convertible that's paid for. I have a gold Presidential Rolex. I have women to die for from one end of the country to the next -- girls you just wouldn't believe." Later, he says: "It's sex, drugs and rock-and-roll." Is he joking? Acting for the sake of the notebook? Drunk?
In his previous life, Carroll says, he was a military pilot. He's in his mid-40s now and says he's attending law school. But this rock- and-roll thing: He likes it. "I live for this," he says. "I do this because I see a beautiful woman smiling at me when I'm onstage, and it's . . . "
The article quotes from Steven Kurutz's book Like a Rolling Stone, which was published by Broadway Books according to this review in The New York Times and this review in Kirkus Reviews:
That a book provided significant biographical material about Glen Carroll strongly establishes that he is notable.When Glen Carroll travels for work, he takes a pair of black stage pants, a studded belt, and a few shirts, usually in splashy colors like bright red or banana yellow. If he wants to make a more noticeable impression, he might take something flashier, like a cape fashioned from an American flag and a British flag tied together, or a T-shirt imprinted with the Greek omega symbol and paired with a silk scarf, or white football pants with blue knee pads and Capezio dance shoes — an outfit very similar, as it happens, to the one Mick Jagger wore on the Rolling Stones' 1981 tour. For Glen, verisimilitude in dress is part of the job. As the singer of Sticky Fingers, which bills itself as "the leading international Rolling Stones tribute show," he is a kind of rock star proxy, a substitute Mick. And considering that the Rolling Stones tour only once every few years, and that Sticky Fingers has toured every year for the past eighteen years, it's likely that he has sung "Start Me Up," and "Brown Sugar," and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" more times than Mick Jagger himself.
Glen is slim and snake-hipped, with heavy-lidded eyes and a prominent, almost coltish mouth. At forty-seven, he resembles a slightly younger Mick Jagger — the Jagger of, say, Steel Wheels — and wears his brown hair in the same style: short in front, longer and feathery on the sides. Offstage, he favors blue jeans, a blazer, and scuffed loafers, or a T-shirt and motorcycle boots. At all times, he wears a gold Rolex "President" watch. In person, he has a sociable nature and a roguish charm and comes across like the kind of guy you might encounter late at night in a barroom, jive-talking one of the waitresses. As a bandleader, however, he is mercurial and governs by mood. He once threatened to fire the rhythm guitarist because his hair had grown beyond appropriate Ron Wood length. On the other hand, when he's having a good time, and particularly when he's been drinking, he will climb behind the drum kit, to the frustration of more authentic-minded band members. "Who ever heard of Mick Jagger playing the drums?" the drummer once remarked, exasperated. Glen is equally contradictory in appraising his own talents, swinging between modesty and extreme boastfulness. "I know what it's like to walk in Mick's shoes — with lift supports, mind you," he once told me. He has also told me, "If you want me to go out and front a band, I'll do it as good as maybe ten other guys in the world can do it."
Glen Carroll received significant coverage in The Washington Post. He received significant coverage in the Broadway Books–published book Like a Rolling Stone. He clearly passes WP:MUSICBIO. It does not matter whether the sources cover him in the context of the band he founded, Sticky Fingers (tribute band). It matters only that the sources cover him in substantial detail and are independent of him.Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria:
1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.
This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries, [except for trivial coverage or non-independent material]
There is enough material specifically about Glen Carroll in the reliable sources to justify a separate article about him.
