I am nominating the article Paul Fincham for deletion. This individual is not a no more a noteworthy composer than many others of the same ilk and if we allowed them each to have their own page, we would be cluttered very quickly. To me this seems like little more than a vanity project by an individual who seems to feel entitled to a page because of their more famous brother. I cannot see this article being of use to anybody who uses this website, and therefore this is the definition of a vanity project. Unless Paul Fincham does anything of note in the future, there is certainly no reason for him to have an article at this stage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.21.78.36 (talk) 19:15, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

• weak delete- the sources contain one interview, which is a good start, but the rest of the sources are all namedrops, self-published, or dead links- which is not so good. I haven't been able to find anything better: most hits I get are for different people named Paul Fincham, including a soldier who I think may have a better claim to notability than the composer. I don't think this is a "vanity" project, or that it's trying to mooch notability off his brother, and I think the subject is not far off meeting what I consider a good standard for notability (certainly verifiability is not an issue) so I would be open to reconsidering if other sources turn up.

• Keep the person gets non-trivial coverage 1, and has won an award (Film Fest International) for Best Original Score "A Reason to Leave" 2. Composers are known for their work and this one passes WP:COMPOSER. Person passes WP:N with coverage in RSs. The nomination rationale sstaes that if we allow this article: we would be cluttered very quickly....but we are WP:NOTPAPER. The rest of the nomination reads like WP:IDONTLIKEIT Lightburst (talk) 00:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

*delete - the sources are weak and there is little additional that can be found to corroborate it. We do not accept minor films, and this should apply here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.21.78.36 (talk) 12:04, 2 October 2020 (UTC) </> The nomination statement counts as your delete vote Atlantic306 (talk) 22:26, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

• Keep passes WP:COMPOSER as he wrote a piece for the London Philharmonic Choir, a notable performance group, so should be included in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:43, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
