Talk:Henry Jackman

Notability criteria
Per WP:BAND, Jackman's work for "Monsters vs. Aliens" and "The Family Man" qualify him under criterion #10. Bondegezou (talk) 12:27, 2 January 2010 (UTC) He has also won an Annie Award for his music that qualifies him under criterion #8. Given this, it seems to me that he readily meets WP:BAND and I am removing the notability tag on the article page. Bondegezou (talk) 13:17, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * With respect, I think you are misinterpreting the notability criteria somewhat. Concerning "Monsters Vs. Aliens" and "The Family Man", WP:BAND does not apply, as the article is not claiming that Jackman was a performer in those cases. WP:COMPOSER, WP:CREATIVE and WP:BIO are where we might want to look. Jackman may qualify under WP:ANYBIO#1, provided the Annie for Music in an Animated Television Production or Short Form is considered by the Wikipedia community to be a notable award, which some might argue against. As it stands, there are considerable issues with regards to notability that I urge you (or others) to address, the most glaring of which is the article's current complete lack of references. With references we will be able verify claims and truly establish notability here. The article also has quite a bit of irrelevant information (his relatives' claims to fame and the co-production of an unreleased album) that we should consider omitting.

 * Your distinction between performance and composition around WP:BAND #10 strikes me as odd, I have to say, but I will investigate the performance angle. You say "some might argue against" the notability of the Annie Awards... well, are you making that argument or not? If no-one is actually disputing that point, I don't see a problem. As for parts of the article you consider irrelevant, the family connections seem pertinent to me. OK, maybe the uncles are a bit far; I'm open to third opinions. As for Togetherland, it has a Wikipedia article itself (which lays out its own claim to notability) so it seems to me relevant to include here. Of course, more references would be great.

 * There shouldn't be anything too odd about it. Under WP:MUSIC, WP:BAND is clearly for musicians (that is, performer) and ensembles, and WP:COMPOSER is for composers and lyricists, etc. As far as I know, there is no notability susbset for music producers. And the article is only a day old--still warm from its birth--and that is why I said that some might argue the notability of the Annie award for TV or short form music. By 'some', I meant people other than me, who will come to this article in time. As for references, having one reference in this article would be a great start. It is for these issues and others--and my hope for their eventual improvement--that I initially tagged the article for notability, rather than sending it to a broader discussion over at AfD, which often has the effect of spurring the community into rapidly improving an article if such improvements can be made.

Rename article to "Henry Jackman"
This is the name that he uses in all his credits, so the article's title should reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.30.95.11 (talk) 04:17, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Lack of evidence of one of his albums existing
Okay, I admit it, I read catalogues put out by record companies. And yes, there is definitely an album released by West One Music called Utopia, and an album released by KPM Music called Transfiguration, but according to this article, there is another album called Acoustica on KPM Music. There is no album with this title in all of KPM Music, and when I Googled Henry Jackman Acoustica, I just got this article and possibly some Discogs articles and other press releases, but based on my searches of catalogues, it appears to not be a KPM album. Utopia is definitely a West One album, and Transfiguration is definitely a KPM album, but I don't see any raw evidence of this Acoustica album! The other two we've actually listened to; those definitely exist! Star651 (talk) 10:36, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
