While there is an assertion of notability, there is no sourcing. That plus the article format suggest that this gentleman may either fail WP:BLP or be a hoax, though more research would be needed to tell which one this would be inclined to fall under.

 * Keep a quick search will tell you it's not a hoax. There are brief mentions on the following, , , lots of references to him in jazz books , and his own website has a pretty impressive resume . Actually, looking at that last one he even lists the sources of the quotes so it shouldn't be too difficult to get more sources. Quantpole (talk) 22:25, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment The first three links seems to be trivial mentions. There's a lot of false hits and trivial mentions on the Gbooks search as well. Edward321 (talk) 12:09, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Fails WP:ARTIST. No assertion of notability (I disagree with the above statement that there is such an assertion; what is it?). The above links seem to have only mentions that are too brief. Johnuniq (talk) 05:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Member of multiple notable bands. Composer of score for internationally touring production (Gormenghast). Composer for various televsion and film productions. Principal lecturer in music. These are all claims to notability. His 'algorithmic composition' could be regarded as a significant new concept or technique (no 2 in wp:artist). His membership of different groups shows he meets no6 of WP:MUSIC. Meets nos 1 and 2 of WP:COMPOSER. If you disagree that these are notable then fair enough make your case, but notability is definately asserted. Quantpole (talk) 11:09, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep and improve I ran news google archive search on his name and the keyword music and got a reasonable list of articles.Historicist (talk) 18:39, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Article needs to be re-structured a bit but that's no reason to delete. Would seem to meet GNG as well as music notability thresholds. -- Banj e  b oi   07:43, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep There seems to be just about enough coverage to meet the main notability guideline. Davewild (talk) 18:27, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
