John Beal (composer)[edit]

Tihs article was deleted once as an autobiography, created by User:Johnbeal. It was re-created by a new user, User:Bsteph1, who started editing after Johnbeal stopped. I believe they are one and the same. The article is pretty much completely unsourced. IMDB [1] shows Beal to be a jobbing composer of music for minor productions - "specializing in composition for theatrical marketing", i.e. writing advertising soundtracks. Check also the links to reeltime music, this person;s company. Guy (Help!) 21:40, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hi, I'm brand new at this. I did not know there was already an article about John Beal. Where is the article? I created this because I could not find one. I am not John Beal. I became a fan of his when he was the composer for the hit TV shows "Vega$" and "Eight is Enough." I have listed a few articles I found about him. I have tried to rewrite the facts and avoid plagiarism, but... Would someone like to help me edit this to make it okay? There are bios of him all over the internet. According to this bio you cited, he's scored 35 theatrical or television films and documentaries, 26 major network television series or specials, and has been music director for over 20 major network specials. If you look at his credits on the IMDb for the 70's and 80's they're almost all hit shows. That's hardly minor. Bsteph1 07:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
comment I notice the rather short lengths of the relevant sections in the references, and commend the creator for his honesty in retaining such data..DGG 00:01, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep unless the Holywood Symphony Orchestra is also a hoax. But the article needs better referencing. NBeale 23:13, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While the article needs some work, the subject is certainly notable. Vassyana 10:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
