This article about a composer is unreferenced, though there are external links to his website and to AllMusic. It has been tagged as unreferenced and as possibly not meeting WP:NMUSIC since 2022. I have carried out WP:BEFORE and not found any coverage to add, so don't think he does meet NMUSIC, WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG. Tacyarg (talk) 18:40, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I did find one detailed writeup here in a local newspaper, but I don't think that's enough to establish notability. If it were considered significant that he's sold music to Harpo and CBS and Sirius and other miscellaneous music libraries then we should be able to find more coverage of it, but there just isn't any.

Delete. The article doesn't have references; a sign that it is not notable. There's also no significant coverage in secondary, reliable and multiple sources. It fails WP: COMPOSER. It may meet GNG in the future. Cheers, Ezra Cricket (talk) 02:39, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
