Adam Powers

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. Mr. Powers has certainly co-written several chart hits across Europe, but I cannot find any coverage that provides any detail about Mr. Powers' life, career or songwriting roles. The one link in the article is dead and it appears there is no archive available – in any case it looks as though it may have been a blog or personal website, as "Eskildsen" is a Danish surname.

 * Comment I have mixed views on this. First, my search didn't find the significant independent coverage needed to convince me that WP:GNG is met (of course, sources not in English wouldn't have shown up).  On the other hand, he might meet WP:COMPOSER which says a songwriter is notable if he wrote or co-wrote the lyrics or music for "a notable composition."  If we take that to mean a WP-notable song, then Power has co-written several of those and meets that SNG.  If it means something more substantial than a pop hit then he probably doesn't.

 * If that's the case, then literally every songwriter credited on every song that's ever charted anywhere in the world qualifies for WP:COMPOSER, but I think we'd need something more than just that to say about them in order to pass WP:GNG as well. Richard3120 (talk) 00:45, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree with your assessment, but I wanted to see how others interpreted that clause--especially when there's no evidence that WP:GNG is met. So, barring any other sources being shown, I'm going to vote to delete. Papaursa (talk) 01:19, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
