Unsourced BLP article of a French musician. Searches reveal not much in the way of sources except releases from the musician and his label, a few discussion board posts and the like, but nothing that would be considered an WP:RS. There is a slight argument that he may just meet criteria #10 of WP:MUSIC due to having some incidental music used in notable films, but that same guideline suggests that the article should be redirected if that's the only credible claim to notability.

Keep. A quick search found a bio and several reviews from Allmusic ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]), coverage in the book Film and Television Scores, 1950-1979: A Critical Survey by Genre ([6]), a review in CMJ New Music Report ([7]), several CMJ charts (e.g. [8], [9] - several more on GBooks), and coverage in Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet ([10]). I suspect that a more thorough search would find more. --Michig (talk) 08:45, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
