Article of a potentially notable person. All the text is copied from their own bio on their webpage. The have released the text under a compatible license however the page is still far to promotional for Wikipedia I believe the best thing to do here is WP:BLOWITUP. and let someone start over with proper sourcing and cut out all the promotional fluff. - McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 15:29, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

 * I've given it a once-over to remove as much fluff as I could and wikify it a little. I think it still almost meets BLP-PROD - since it's a sliced and diced version of a verbatim copy of an unsourced text. Being a copy doesn't make it sourced, IMO, although it does technically have a source for the film scores section. Storkk (talk) 16:13, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Weak keep Like SwisterTwister, I can find mentions, including, for example, brief descriptions of performances of his works in the New York Times . It would take a fair amount of work to determine if there is enough out there for notability, but I see enough of a hint that I think it's worth keeping but tagged as needing better references.

 * Delete - While most likely notable, the purely promotional tone and intent (copied from the person's own web page), would seem to indicate that it fits WP:TNT.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:43, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
