Not notable enough; notable only in relation to the band Foster the People, which adequately covers him. (Possibly should be made into redirect to Foster the People page?) Nerd1a4i (talk) 17:52, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect, per WP:NBAND - members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases, or if the musician has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles. Once he has released notable solo works, or achieved notability separate from the band for other activities, or joined another notable band, then he can have his own article.

Redirect to Foster the People because he has done little outside of that band. As the founder of that band, his basic life story leading up to the band's formation can be discussed there. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:07, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Foster the People. There's barely anything here that isn't already in that article, but potentially a few bits can be merged and then the article redirected. --Michig (talk) 19:10, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
