Author has not provided references that confirm the subject's notability and has instead removed my request without discussion Pdcook (talk) 03:11, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Delete for the reasons above; also the author has not explained his actions or responded.--fetchcomms 04:02, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - no sources (reliable, significant, or otherwise) in the article and a good faith Google search was unable to find any references relating to a music-producing Guillermo Torres. (Plenty for software developers of that name, though.) As a result he fails WP:N. - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:27, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Eastmain's sourcing of him winning a Suncoast Regional Emmy. Winning this notable award satisfies WP:ANYBIO criterion 1. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:49, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment. ASCAP is the organization that collects royalties on behalf of songwriters and music publishers. Since the article claims he won an ASCAP award, I tried to confirm that on the ASCAP website. I couldn't find evidence of awards, but I found listings for songs he wrote that were performed by two of the bands listed in the article as well as music for two of the television shows mentioned in the article. I also found a blog page for a concert by performers from a talent competition in Puerto Rico "under the musical direction of Guillermo Torres" at  http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=79683820&blogId=422915679  The article itself is problematic, but we have enough evidence to list him as a songwriter. He (or someone by the same name) is listed at 1996 Suncoast Regional Emmy Awards Recipients  It would be much easier if there was a profile of him in a newspaper or magazine that makes its articles available online free, but there is enough evidence for me to suspect that he may be notable. -- Eastmain (talk) 06:42, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Suncoast Regional Emmy appears to be a notable award (see Emmy and Suncoast Chapter), so on the presumption that there aren't too many Guillermo Torres working in television production in the United States I'm prepared to assume it's the same guy. He's therefore fulfilled WP:ANYBIO criterion 1 (won a notable award) and the article should be kept. Vote changed accordingly. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:49, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Thanks for digging up these references, although all of them seem to lead to the same place. Nonetheless I think he can be considered notable now. Pdcook (talk) 13:27, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
