As with his bandmates Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shane Told and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul Marc Rousseau, this is a WP:BLP of a musician whose notability exists within the context of a band, not as a standalone topic in his own right. Virtually all of the sourcing is of the primary and/or unreliable varieties, and mostly deadlinked at that. The only reference here that passes the reliability test is #7 — and he isn't the subject of that source, but is merely the specific band member who happened to get interviewed by The Georgia Straight about the band. All of which means that nothing here demonstrates that he has the independent notability necessary to stand alone as a separate article — if a musician's only substantive claim of notability is "member of a notable band", and he cannot claim independent notability for anything else besides that, then as per WP:NMUSIC he gets to be a redirect to the band and not a poorly sourced standalone BLP.
