Non-notable "motion picture music executive, supervisor, composer, publisher and studio musician". Long list of credits, but length does not equate to notability. The references generally fall into one of the following categories: non-selective roster-like listings, such as IMDb, list of invited speakers and the like; commercial sites where the subject sells his work; or passing references. Before I had started cleaning it up, a number of the references did not support the claims in the article; some had nothing to do with the subject at all.

Barone seems to have no significant awards and no notable work, either in film or recording. His film work credits are on the order of "music supervisor", "executive in charge of music," etc., as distinguished from composer, except on a few minor works. His recording credits is essentially as a studio musician or arranger.

The article was created by User:Hollywood Silicon, who only edited for a week in October 2009; and who has made no other contributions to Wikipedia other than to this article. Most recent substantive edits have been made by User:Marcusbarone, but are little more than an unreferenced catalog of non-notable work. The editor's ID suggests he is the individual who is the subject of the article.

I PROdded it in July. User:Marcusbarone dePRODDed it, leaving a comment on the talk page that I do not think justifies retention. TJRC (talk) 23:01, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

I removed both lists Filmography which the summary can be linked to the IMDB and the full Discography which at this time, needs more sources. Its difficult getting record labels and information from recordings I worked on the the late 70s and 80s as a session player, but once found, that info will go to ALL MUSIC ROVI first before I post again in WIKI.
 * Greetings from MARCUS BARONE and Thank you for your input and concern for me to have a better sourced article.

I am slowly getting accurate sources together that fit your criteria.

Please don't delete my article.

 * Note from nom. After I made the above nomination, the lengthily unreferenced catalog of film and recording work that I refer to above was deleted by Marcusbarone. That doesn't really change things. The defect with the article was not the long lists; even if referenced, they would not have established notability. The basis on which I propose deletion is the lack of notability of the subject, not merely the current state of the article. TJRC (talk) 04:38, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello again. Ive started to remove any dead end reference links. Ive also added a few more references that might hold, and Im searching BILLBOARD MAGAZINE for any articles about me. Ive found two and Ive not added them yet. Im looking for more. ALSO ROVI ALL MUSIC will have new input on the list they have, once I fill out the template they sent me to help me add recordings Ive worked on. I need the codes which I have been finding. Also there are a few books that mention me and Im talking to the authors to get the correct publisher's names

 * Delete - very little in the way of sources to write an article with. Topic ban from the article as he has a blatant conflict of interest. Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)  11:48, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - Searches turned up virtually no in-depth coverage, so fails WP:GNG, and certainly doesn't pass WP:ENTERTAINER.  Onel 5969  TT me 18:54, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete article is a personal bio with no claim of notability; his IMDB profile doesn't suggest he's notable either. Power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 21:51, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete looks like the page was started and mostly written by Marcus Barone himself. Very few sources cited and possible WP:COI issue makes it looks problematic.Huitzilopochtli1990 (talk) 22:54, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
