Deprodded with sources, but one only gives a one sentence mention, and the other only verifies that he wrote one notable song. While he was nominated for a Grammy, it was split among 3 other writers, none of whom have articles either. I searched high and low and could not find any reliable third party coverage of the guy, just tangential mentions and name drops.

 * Comment He's also co-written some other "notable" songs: Made to Love, I'm for You, City on Our Knees, Get Back Up, even if the only sources for him co-writing those are sheet music publishers. He clearly meets WP:COMPOSER, although that does seem a rather stupid rule in cases like this. --12:55, 19 April 2012 (UTC) --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:57, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:COMPOSER is not ironclad. It's possible to meet that but fail WP:GNG if no sources exist covering the guy in detail. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:24, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
