Contested PROD of recently recreated article. Non-notable member of several notable bands. Fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:53, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, per GNG and sources in the article. There is plenty to establish notability even just with coverage of when he had cancer and left Stratovarius. For example: [1], [2], [3]. There are also a bunch of interviews: [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] (the list goes on).
    There are also other more recent sources, but many are not in English and so are more difficult to dredge up on search engines, for example see: [9]. There are literally hundreds of brief mentions of him in various news articles: [10], [11], [12].
    If I spoke German I'm sure I could find more. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 05:48, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I do speak German, but to be fair, I made a bad assumption. Based on Insertcleverphrasehere's finds (and my lack of WP:BEFORE) I am withdrawing the nomination. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:48, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
