Fails notability guideline WP:MUSICBIO, and WP:GNG. Some of the projects he worked on may be notable but he's not the subject of any of the references. Previously speedy deleted, may require salting. Ifnord (talk) 01:41, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This article was submitted as a draft and an expert from Wikipedia approved it after checking everything, @Firestone2018: @Boleyn:. I read WP:MUSICBIO it states that, Composers, songwriters, librettists or lyricists, may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria:

Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition.
Has written musical theatre of some sort (includes musicals, operas, etc.) that was performed in a notable theatre that had a reasonable run as such things are judged in their particular situation and time.
Has had a work used as the basis for a later composition by a songwriter, composer or lyricist who meets the above criteria.
Has written a composition that has won (or in some cases been given a second or other place) in a major music competition not established expressly for newcomers.
Has been listed as a major influence or teacher of a composer, songwriter or lyricist that meets the above criteria.
Appears at reasonable length in standard reference books on his or her genre of music.

Now you can compare, the subject meets all of this criteria and even his Categories are available on Wikipedia. Calabond (talk) 17:48, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Admins may want to check out the history of this nomination. The nom above says that the article was speedy deleted previously, as if that should be relevant now, but a look at the first nomination shows that it was a speedy G7 requested by the article's creator. The current version started out in draft space and several editors collaborated and moved it into the main space, showing that the article was deemed worthy of WP. There was also no reason given for the one "strong delete" vote above except for name-dropping a couple of policies. I see the need for expansion, not deletion. Sources are strong enough for a basic stub article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:38, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
