Dean Ravera[edit]

sigh* I hate using AfD for mergers but several users refuse to respect this re-direct. No evidence Ravera is notable for anything other than playing with The Stands, which is what he's covered about. Less than marginal notability as a sole musician and no evidence of notability. Ask that if this closes in merge/re-direct, someone please protect the re-direct.

Delete, fails notability per WP:MUSIC. Searching pulls up no reliable, third-party, sources. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 04:09, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: non-notable musician, insufficient coverage. JamesBurns (talk) 09:03, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect until the other claims in the article can be referenced. He's notable for playing in The Stands, but without reliable coverage for nothing else. A redirect helps people find the actual coverage we have. The nominator's reasoning is perfectly valid until sources arise. (Side note: To get input the size of AFD discussions on mergers discussion of those should be centralized too) - Mgm|^(talk) 09:46, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed definitely need a centralized discussion place because there are some that are contentious for various reasons and need a larger discussion. StarM 12:09, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect, nothing sourced, nothing to merge. (Also support for centralising merger discussions.) Duffbeerforme (talk) 06:44, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
