Notability
[edit]I am not convinced that the subject meets WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO notability guidelines. I see that the author of the page has twice removed a redirect to the subject's band, but I have yet to find independent, reliable sources that indicate the subject's notability separately from the band. I am tempted to bring the article to AFD, but will allow more time for the article to be developed. Please provide reliable sources that meet the notability criteria.

- I agree that this article doesn't meet notability guidelines. While Bunton has collaborated with several notable artists, their collaborations are substantiated with some very poor quality sources, and are essentially mere-mentions of the subject. The article supporting the seemingly-substantial claim that Bunton played guitar "in the longest running live show in Brooklyn" describes Bunton as part of a
rotating circus of local talent
. We wouldn't have an article about a session musician that played bass for Scarlett Johansson, played in the Gong Show house band, and sometimes participated in a live band with a colorful local history, and that is essentially all Bunton has done outside of TV on the Radio. The appropriate thing to do is redirect. signed, Rosguill talk 06:23, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
