Fails WP:NSINGER on his own, has notability as part of The Waterboys but insufficient for his own article. Very weak references. Suggest redirect to The Waterboys. SanAnMan (talk) 17:15, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect to The Waterboys. I'm not sure if redirecting to The Waterboys is appropriate because Salmins is a fairly recent member of that band, which has had a ridiculous 70+ temporary or short-term members in 35 years. But if other voters recommend a redirect I would not be against it. Otherwise, Salmins has some notoriety as a music professor. The article's sources on that matter are dead but I found these: [1], [2] --- but unfortunately the first of those is self-published by his employer and the second is a blog of unknown reliability. Sorry but I don't see enough independent notability for a WP article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:03, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
