The result was delete. Existing references are completely insufficient for a WP:BLP. The "wait-and-see" approach advocated by BabbaQ is not appropriate for a BLP.  A  Train talk 13:19, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

No evidence of any notability. He does appear to have written some songs performed by others, but there is no evidence that any reliable and independent sources have written about him. Appears to be competent jobbing song writer. Has been templated since September 2017 as needing sources. Searches only reveal the same sort of material - track listings etc. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk  00:41, 15 December 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep - Per references. It is obvious that he has done the work in music that the article states. I think that Keep for now is the best. For a new evaluation in a year.BabbaQ (talk) 11:53, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete -- no indications of notability. Sources included are online directoris, passing mentions, and / or WP:SPIP. If there are indeed reliable sources on the subject, they should be presented at the AfD. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:40, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
 * There is a difference between wanting sources and non notability. A article could nedd more sources and still be notable like in this case. This article passes WP:GNG. AfD is not a clean-up service. BabbaQ (talk) 19:59, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
