to Waltons (Canadian band). Every musician who exists does not automatically get a standalone article as a separate topic from his band — he needs to attain his own independent notability for his own activity ''outside'' the band, such as releasing albums as a solo artist, before he gets a separate article. But what we have here is a musician who was a member of one notable band, and has otherwise been a ''session'' musician for other artists since then — which is ''not'' how a musician gets notable enough for a standalone bio. As well, this is an  written by the subject himself, and even a person who does meet our notability standards still doesn't get to put ''himself'' into Wikipedia per our |conflict of interest rules. Nothing here constitutes an  pass, and he doesn't pass  either as he isn't the ''subject'' of any of the sources
