Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kai Normann Andersen


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Keep. The appearance of belonging to "another Wikipedia project" (Danish-language Wikipedia?) is not a reason for deletion, let alone speedy deletion. If most or even all available published material about the subject of an article is in one or more languages other than English, this is also not a reason for deletion. And neither is the lack of material on the web about the subject of an article. The nominator would be wise to read "Reasons for deletion", and the relevant links from it, before nominating any other article for deletion. &para; I have accelerated the close of this AfD in accordance with WP:SNOW. -- Hoary (talk) 04:44, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

No sources, the Filmography section is empty and I have a feeling that this is CSD fit because it seems to belong on another Wikipedia project. In terms of checking for sources most stuff that pops up on Google is either non-English or the one English one I did find (http://www.answers.com/topic/kai-normann-andersen ) i'm not sure meets notability requirements.

 * Did you look in google books? "a prominent composer", composer of classical Danish hits, One of the most appealing personalities of our time in the light music field was Kai Normann Andersen (1900-1967), a natural musical talent . I'd go as far to say that he was one of Denmark's leading film score composers. I'll expand this later but I think its an obvious Strong keep.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  13:17, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep or Speedy keep. He is notable. 12 of his songs are included in the Danish Culture Canon, so they are officially "cultural excellence". Iselilja (talk) 16:14, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep -- as pointed out by Dr. Blofeld, this one isn't even close to deletable. Eminently notable Danish composer in the entertainment industry as stated clearly in the Danish Encyclopedia . — Cactus Writer (talk) 16:38, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. He is included in all the reference works on Danish film and in Dansk Biografisk Leksikon; we use print encyclopedias' coverage as a guide to notability, so this is decisive. I've added some references and some information including a little biography, and so has Iselilja. There is undoubtedly more to be found, but I believe the article now demonstrates notability. The nominator appears not to realize that neither notability nor sources need to be limited to English-speaking countries and materials. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:41, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Ridiculous to put this up for deletion.--Ipigott (talk) 16:58, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Snow Keep Passes all notability guidelines, including WP:MUSIC. Let alone a CSD or PROD nomination, this isn't worth going to AfD. hmssolent \Let's convene My patrols 17:30, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per Dr. Blofield and his improvements to the article. His sources prove notability and the ability for the article to expand beyond a stub (which it did). Michaelzeng7 (talk) 18:50, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - per others. Definitely notable. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 23:40, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
