Jason Halbert

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:MUSICBIO. Dozens of sources include one line about him being music director for Kelly Clarkson, but I have not located any secondary sources to establish notability. Magnolia677 (talk) 04:50, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - I saw this article earlier and was going AfD, but I thought I would wait give to see what the article turned into. He is a real person with real credits. But he is no Mutt Lange. I thought maybe it could turn into a stub, but it's not looking like it is going to cut it. Kellymoat (talk) 05:25, 6 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - The subject has participated in several bands, but doesn't have any GNG coverage. Generally agree with Kellymoat. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:26, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Most of the references fail to show enough in-depth coverage, for instance, the AllMusic reference is just a list of works connected to Halbert. The Hits Daily Double reference mentions Halbert only in passing. However, the Variety piece discusses the Gates Foundation video which in turn goes deeply into Halbert's career. And the Yamaha All Access piece is dedicated to Halbert. So there are at least two good sources here. Let's not get in the habit of removing information that would be useful to the reader.

 * Keep. Should satisfy section 1 of WP:COMPOSER, credit for cowriting a notable composition, #4 has written a composition that has won in a major music competition (ASCAP Most Performed Pop Songs 2014) Also satisfies section 2 and 3 of WP:MUSICBIO - Elpresidente57 (talk) 02:58, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep passses WP:COMPOSER and variety and yamaha sources for WP:BASIC Atlantic306 (talk) 17:03, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:COMPOSER for Catch My Breath, and Cry and page now has multiple secondary sources to meet criteria WP:BASICDirectorSandy (talk) 18:41, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep – When I was checking SP:NPF earlier I saw this article and checked for sources, which there were. As well as meeting the general notability guideline, the article also satisfies section 1 of WP:COMPOSER. The Google News results put me off from originally nominating this article.
