Jesse Frederick

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article has cited no sources since July 2016 (possibly longer). It even states Frederick was born in Maryland in 1948, which is most likely false. DBZFan30 (talk) 14:01, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - Googling the name leads to different people. In the absence of refs, not notable.-- Jim in Georgia  Contribs  Talk  14:52, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: No coverage. SL93 (talk) 02:53, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep: I've added (one) reference. Writing the theme songs to multiple pop shows is sufficient for notability. ( amended Power~enwiki (talk) 22:04, 15 May 2017 (UTC) )
 * Delete. Googling "jesse frederick composer" offers a more comprehensive search than the generic name. His birth year mentioned in the nom is most likely correct, given the age of some of his credited TV work. However, there is no substantial "news" sources to cite from, and IMDb cannot be considered one. (Sidenote: the entire article was copypasted). —  Wylie pedia  16:55, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. WP:MUSIC#10. There are lots of sources that verify that fact and the shows he did the themes for are major shows. Did need som major trimming but should be kept. duffbeerforme (talk) 23:50, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  MBisanz  talk 12:31, 15 May 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: To discuss the recently posted links.
 * Comment after further research, significant portions of the article appear to be plagiarized from the book titled "Everywhere You Look: The Unofficial Guide to Full House". I'm attempting to delete them. Power~enwiki (talk) 22:06, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Mirror, mirror. In my view, that book (or at least the section about Jesse Frederick) has all the hallmarks of a Wikipedia mirror. According to Amazon.com the book was published June 15, 2015.  Meanwhile the Wikipedia article history shows that the text was largely written in a series of smaller edits (rather than by any obvious cut-and-paste) that were incorporated in Wikipedia well before the book. This comparison shows the relatively minimal changes in the text between the end of 2014 and the posting of the current AfD.  So I don't think the case for plagiarism is established here.  On the other hand, if the book is a mirror, it's not a reliable source, and it is difficult to identify other reliable independent sources to support much of the text. Frederick is a well-known TV composer with a number of important credits, but the article as it stands is problematic. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:51, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Ugh I did not realize that, thanks for pointing it out. Reverting some of that. Power~enwiki (talk) 00:01, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment reverted all my changes based on that book. The content is still entirely unsourced apart from the intro paragraph. Power~enwiki (talk) 00:09, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
 * A few interesting links of varying reliability.        . duffbeerforme (talk) 03:50, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - unless the claims in the article are believed to be false, this is clearly a notable musician, both logically and per MBIO#10 and technically #11.   78.26   (spin me / revolutions) 22:46, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * more potential sources:  (not visible, but available in major libraries?)   78.26   (spin me / revolutions) 22:51, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep as reliable sources have been found as described in the last 2 comments and can be used to expand and improve the article Atlantic306 (talk) 16:52, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
