Doesn't satisfy WP:MUSICBIO; session musicians rarely do. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:25, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Zoot and the Roots may also be a candidate for deletion. I don't seen anything that satisfies WP:BAND. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:48, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• I have nominated Zoot and the Roots for deletion too. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:42, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, can't find anything to meet WP:NBAND. The two refs in the article are dead. Jacona (talk) 14:16, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: to see how Zoot AfD closes. This could go either way (redirect, delete) at the moment, but there's no point in redirecting if that's going to be deleted.

• Delete. Snake Davis is undoubtedly highly thought of in the music industry but unfortunately that has not translated into in-depth coverage of the man in high quality sources with which we can write a properly comprehensive and sourced biography nor does he have an entry in Oxford Music Online (via Wikipedia Library) that would have resolved this very quickly. Zoot and the Roots is deleted so there is no redirect there. [Disclosure: I have been to a Snake Davis performance.] --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:54, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
