No indication either on this page, any of his album pages or in the first couple of pages of Google results that he may meet WP:NBAND; all his alleged side projects appear to be offshoots of Skinny Puppy, to which I recommend redirecting this. Laun chba ller 00:50, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (multiple WP-notable projects), though it needs better referencing - David Gerard (talk) 08:51, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. I don't see how this meets WP:NBAND. User:David Gerard, can you clarify your keep comment? I don't understand your argument. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:32, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Someone who is a member of multiple notable bands is generally considered notable. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 13:30, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – founding member of one of the most seminal industrial bands of all time. I feel like there was a failure to follow WP:BEFORE in this case. Some sources:

There are plenty more e.g. in Google Books, but that was just what I found in the first few pages of a regular Google search. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 13:30, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is silly. He founded one of the most famous industrial bands of all time. Just because he's deservedly well-known for this doesn't mean that his article should be deleted. There are numerous sources available online to indicate notability, some of which are listed above. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:21, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I did a quick look through Google and Google books. This article clearly meets notability requirements. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 03:55, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
