Deletion of Paul Newsome

Comment: but redirect to :Proud Mary unless sources for solo activity can be found. I've been searching, and I can't find anything to suggest that this musician has garnered notability per  sufficient for a stand-alone article

Comment: It's true that the article describes these things, but in order to establish notability per , "The person must have been the subject of published secondary sources that are Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject."  agrees: "Also, to meet Wikipedia:Attribution, the article in question must actually document that the criterion is true. It is not enough to make vague claims in the article or assert a band's importance on a talk page or AfD page -- the article itself must document notability". In order for the article to survive as a stand-alone, it needs secondary sourcing. Currently, the only source for the article is a primary one.  I agree that the individual is notable, though as I stated above I believe his notability rests with his band rather than individually. All of the sources that I have been able to find mention him solely in context of Proud Mary. I do not currently see any evidence that his contribution to ''Uncle Dysfunktional'' is a significant assertion of notability. According to the liner notes set out at http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:anfpxzw5ldse~T2 AMG, Newsome is credited rather vaguely with "help" on that album. I have not found any coverage for his support work on tour with other bands or any support of the assertion that he is a gold selling artist (I came up goose eggs on the RIAA search engine for his name individually and for Proud Mary). As far as the The Ya Ya's are concerned, The Ya Ya's ''may'' inherit notability from the members who went on from it to form separate projects (although I note the article is unsourced and have tagged it, and I see that it has recently been speedied per CSD:A7), but arguably that isn't a two-way street. Newsome does not seem to be notable for his contribution to The Ya Ya's. Again, secondary coverage could prove me wrong. But I haven't found any, and there isn't any offered in the article
