Created originally by a sock puppet, there is no evidence of passing WP:NCREATIVE, I can find no in-depth significant coverage of him in any sources and notability cannot be established by osmosis/working with notable people. Theroadislong (talk) 17:41, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment:, I think you've made your point. Please take a step back and let others weigh in. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –&#8239;Joe (talk) 05:04, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I am the one who is to blame for all this mess so please listen to me before you remove the page. I had tried to add some edits a couple days ago. The edits have been removed. I am not talking about that right now. I respect those reasons and that's why I haven't tried to edit anything else. I am a different person to the one who originally created the first article and you are naming him/her a "sock puppet" probably because you think that I am a "sock puppet". We are 2 different persons.
 * John Phillip Shenale has a music career expanding over many decades with colaborations from well know musicals such as footloose, little shop of horors up to the soundtrack of sons of anarchy which was not only succesful for its plot as a TV series but for its soundtrack as well. (He is a prominent member of the band called The Forest Rangers which is behind all those succesful covers along with the actress/singer Katey Sagal)

 * I could provide you with more links to interviews and web sites but I think someone can get the picture from the things mentioned above.
 * I mentioned all the above in good faith, hoping that there is a will to do what's right and that you wanted some help because you think that Ratfae (talk) 13:13, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

 * ... JPS doesn't meet the notability criteria.
 * (his name is often typed wrong even in wikipedia eg it was typed wrongfully here at the Forrest rangers page (I didn't write that either) and I had to correct it so that it can connecti with his page. This may be the main reason why a lot of credits and refferences don't show up with a simple google search.)
 * Thank you for all your time and patience reading this. Ratfae (talk) 13:19, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid that being "associated with 22 Grammy nominations" is not a notability criteria and IMDb and interviews are not reliable independent sources as you have been told before. Theroadislong (talk) 13:26, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I will search more your criteria on reliable independent sources and I will post the ones that meet that criteria here.
 * I mentioned those because I have seen those many times as references at numerous web pages.
 * I could name the grammy nominations 1 by 1 with links from the nominations but it wasn't my point to fload the page here. If you want that, I can search for an official grammy list of nominations throughout the years even though most of those albums already exist on wikipedia pages.

 * Thank you for your patience and I apologize for the long list.
 * (There are way more references I tried to keep both lists as short as possible. I can offer more links based on the list of reliable sources if you wish.) Ratfae (talk) 08:53, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Quality is perhaps more important than quantity. Which are the three (WP:THREE) most reliable sources that give significant independant coverage of the subject (i.e. not user generated and not passing mentions)? And/or how does this article meet WP:NMUSIC? -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:18, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I am still trying to figure this out so be patient with me. If I had to pick 3 sources from the list above and leave all the rest those would probably be billboard, rollingstones magazine and LA Times as the ones which are more recognizable than the rest but on the other hand there are the credits for globaly known hits such us holding out for a hero. Each part has its own merit so I am a bit confused. (I did check the list of the reliable sources. I haven't checked all of them still though.) Ratfae (talk) 23:20, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Sources have to in-depth with sigificant coverage The Rolling Stone pieces contain a single sentence each! Theroadislong (talk) 00:48, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting. It would help if some editors looked into a few of the many sources mentioned here to determine if they help establish GNG. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 04:52, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep, this article has over 70 sources, and that is very impressive. Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:31, 20 December 2022 (UTC)


 * This is a completely false assertion. These credits are real, these writings are completely factual. The humas who gathered this information, submitted this information, are also real humans, deeply immersed in the music industry. Please read the sources and the links, and you will see. 2603:8000:DF00:1249:553:91BE:C811:8BEF (talk) 00:53, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry if I posted my comment in the wrong place. This is a messy thread, dear Wiki. But yes I agree with Davidgoodheart that this is a KEEP article, and I meant to post my comment under Theroadislong comment that this is a sock puppet. I cant find a wauy to delete my comment and put it in my intended pLace. But know that JOHN PHILIP SHENALE is a massive artist and every facet is accurate in this article. 2603:8000:DF00:1249:553:91BE:C811:8BEF (talk) 00:56, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
