This article is a bit like my cat - looks fat, but once the fluff has been combed out the real bag of bones shows itself. Nothing indicates notability, and I dispute some of its factual accuracy - "Miklos' work has been featured on over 15 million records" is an impossibility! Laun chba  ller  20:56, 31 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Strong keep Nom: It best to keep to the facts.  As he has written alot of songs, it is very possible his songs have been on albums that have sold over 15 million.  Malek co-composed five songs on Yanni's Truth of Touch album..  The album was #1 New Age album of the year in 2011 and #10 album in 2012.. It sold over 7 million copies.  Malek passes WP:COMPOSER.  As Malek is Hungarian and works in Hungary, there are alot of refs in Hungarian., ,  and . Malek passes GNG. Bgwhite (talk) 22:17, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Which criterion of WP:COMPOSER are you saying Malek meets? None of the compositions on that album are independently notable. Malek may well meet WP:GNG.-- Laun  chba  ller  22:51, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * "Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition." Co-wrote 5 of the first 6 songs, including the song Truth of Touch, that was on the #1 album of the year, #10 album the following and sold 7 million copies.   The composition is the album, the album is notable, thus Malek is notable.  Same as Grammy's... Win album of the year and every songwriter on the album has won a Grammy.

 * Album tracks are not notable compositions in my opinion, but rules are rules - withdrawn.-- Laun  chba  ller  09:45, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Strong keep: A notable artist in music composition and in films. The fact that he was a judge in X Faktor, a greatly followed programme in Hungary as a clear proof of notability. Now article well sourced both in English and Hungarian articles. werldwayd (talk) 15:09, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
