Delete. Musician whose notability is band-dependent, with no evidence shown that he clears the WP:NMUSIC bar as a separate standalone topic for a separate standalone WP:BLP. Musicians are not automatically entitled to independent articles just because they exist; they get covered in the article about their band, not as separate spinoff articles from the band, until such time as they can be reliably sourced as having independent notability for something other than just being a member of a band. But the only "source" here is a user-generated discography list on a fan forum, which is not the kind of sourcing it takes. Redirect per JohnPackLambert also acceptable.

::No NMUSIC criterion can be passed just by asserting passage; as with any other criterion in NMUSIC, #6 does not confer includability until it's supported by reliable source coverage about him being a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles. And Encyclopaedia Metallum is a user-generated directory, not a reliable source that represents media coverage about him. NMUSIC actually states, right in its own introduction that "the article itself must document notability through the use of reliable sources, and no criterion listed in this page confers an exemption from having to reliably source the article just because passage of the criterion has been claimed."
