Not a single reference is exclusive to Matt Yonker. It is all about the band. The single that does mention him, ref 6 is non-RS, meaning is not a reliable source. Fails WP:MUSICBIO, WP:GNG scope_creep^Talk 00:29, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and New Jersey. Shellwood (talk) 00:31, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Only significant coverage of subject is in an interview which is considered non-independent/primary. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 23:35, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Both statements above are false. Numerous sources are not about the band Less Than Jake, one of which is his allmusic page, which is not an interview.Hoponpop69 (talk) 13:04, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The above vote mentioned Yonker's AllMusic page, but that is just a bare list of credits. That voter also complained that not all of the article's sources are about Less Than Jake, which is true but those about other bands merely list Yonker (a.k.a. Drastic) very briefly as a member. Someone may have believed that Yonker is eligible for his own article because he has been in several different notable bands, but every single reliable source to be found are about the bands and not himself. Therefore he has no independent notability as a musician in his own right. If anyone is concerned about alternatives to deletion, Yonker could possibly be redirected to Less Than Jake as the most famous band he's been in, but I don't see much point in that. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:18, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
