LIkely non-notable film music composer, by a possibly COI editor with a name very similar to the article title. Would have left it at Prod but one editor persists in adding back what looks like a long autobiography. Refs are self-published or IMDB. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 07:12, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, ref is local news, not sufficient to assert notability. I'm finding a good amount of self-published material, but nothing independent apart from the previously mentioned local news article. Probably an autobiography too (judging by author's username), which explains the promotional tone. — crh 23   &thinsp;(Talk) 08:18, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as nothing at all convincing of the necessary independent notability improvements. SwisterTwister   talk  23:13, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete I agree this look suspiciously like the subject is the author of his own article. Press coverage (from the provided references) do not extend beyond hometown newspapers. ShelbyMarion (talk) 15:05, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
