Proposed merge of Rubén Valtierra into "Weird Al" Yankovic
[edit]Almost no notability outside being a touring musician for Weird Al. Tagged for sources since 2007 with zero improvement. Either merge it or AFD it. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:14, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
Proposed merge of Steve Jay into "Weird Al" Yankovic
[edit]Almost zero notability outside being a touring musician for Weird Al. Tagged for sources since 2011 with zero improvement. Either merge it or AFD it. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:15, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
Proposed merge of Jon Schwartz (drummer) into "Weird Al" Yankovic
[edit]Tagged for sources since 2012 with zero improvement. Almost no notability outside work with Weird Al. Either merge or AFD. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:17, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Masem: @KD5TVI: @SibTower1987: your thoughts on the above mergers? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:11, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Jay *might* be notable standalone give work outside of working with Weird Al but without sources, should be merged into here, the other two are clear merges. Perhaps a brief "Band" seciton may be worthwhile to consider here. — Masem (t) 00:08, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- Most of Jay's solo works don't seem to be notable on their own. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 18:40, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hence "might", such that the short should be to merge here but if someone can show those notable or more notability for Jay, it can be respun out. Masem (t) 21:42, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
