He doesn't make games. He just had his music in a few

Only insofar as Nirvana and Foo Fighters are credited in games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, I should imagine. I don't think he's ever been credited personally, by name.

It has nothing to do with how awesome of a musician he is. As far as I know, we aren't supposed to create pages for musicians on a game's soundtrack.

Moby Games has him listed as being "credited" in Guitar Hero II, Rock Band, and Tony Hawk's Proving Ground.

He was given special thanks in Guitar Hero II. But games where he's credited as a performer do not count on Giant Bomb.
He also received a songwriting credit for The Pretender in Tony Haw's Proving Ground. I don't know if that counts though. We can credit composers of original music created for games, but I'm not sure how we're supposed to handle songwriters of licensed music. Is it the same way we handle the performers?

Based on the special thanks he received, he can keep his page.
Also, bumping won't really help. There are many months of work that a staffer would have to go through to clean out the backlog. This topic was last posted in about a month ago, which means it would be handled relatively early anyway if the topics were handled in reverse chronological order.

They need to make some deletion mods on this site because the backlog is getting quite large. There only ability would be to delete pages and nothing else.
