Delete - The sources linked to seem pretty trivial and are only about one song he composed; most importantly they don't seem to mention him by name. Everything else is blatantly promotional. MarginalCost (talk) 15:53, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Polyamorph talk MarginalCost talk I have added valid citations, from regional language Malayalam — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anu Appukuttan (talk • contribs)

[1] is a blog, [2] is some sort of ticketing website that needs a subscription, [3] is a link to a youtube video, [4] another you tube video. None of these are reliable sources. [6] is a rating website which simply credits this person as the co-writer. [7] Is soundcloud!! Only [5] can really be said to be a useful source, and only gives one sentence saying the music is composed by Joice Samuel. The other news websites you have provided in their own section indicate that the song might be notable, but barely make any mention of Joice Samuel if at all. So there is no evidence of significant coverage whatsoever of this person in the sources you have provided. Polyamorph (talk) 17:16, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Polyamorph talk the mentioned news article feature about the song composed by him, the singers associated are more popular than him, hence the news focuses on them more .— Preceding unsigned comment added by Anu Appukuttan (talk • contribs)

That's my point. Wikipedia requires sources that provide significant coverage of the person. Not a passing reference. The song might be notable, but that does not mean the writer of the song is also notable. Please read Wikipedia:Notability (people). Polyamorph (talk) 06:50, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
