Fails GNG, as well as NMUSIC. Only claim of notability is an award that in itself is not notable. Has also had multiple reference issue tags since 2011. Boomer VialHolla! We gonna ball! 06:22, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment After having done some fairly intensive searching, I'm still not sure about this. It is apparently an autobiography, having been started by user:Jocray and then further edited by User:Jojocray, both SPA's. Beyond the expected usual event listings and blog coverage and PR sources, there are numerous passing mentions to his work as a film composer in New Zealand films (see, e.g., [1]) and a PhD thesis also discusses him in this context. I am placing this information here for the closing admin to evaluate, as I am not convinced that this rises to the level of significant coverage in WP:RS but neither am I convinced that this is so lacking as to !vote delete.

  • Delete Self-promotion. Lacks sufficient sources, therefore fails SIGCOV. Despite apparent activity which might potentially pass GNG, lack of appropriate sources indicates that, at present, he fails GNG as well. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 03:16, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
