Fails WP:MUSICBIO, no repeated, substantial editorial references support claim of notability. The song he co wrote was just released. -MJH (talk) 21:32, 15 December 2012 (UTC) Keep
 * Leaning towards delete - Google News archives found results but they don't seem to be to this Paul Carter. Adding "Mary Jess" and subsequently adding "Hikaru Utada" to my search provided nothing significant. It's probably too soon if he has only worked with two people so far, Mary Jess and Hikaru Utada and there isn't much information about him such as previous music work. However, this website suggests he "produces under the pseudonym Benbrick" and he has an EP scheduled for 2013 but additional searches provided nothing significant either.

Page has been updated with more information on songwriter, however looking through and in terms of the notability page (criteria for musicians and ensembles) I believe that the following are met..

Item 2 Has a single or album on country list. Sakura Nagashi charted at Number 1 in Japan (http://www.tokyohive.com/2012/12/recochoku%E2%80%99s-monthly-download-charts-for-november-2/)

Item 10 Notable media work. Sakura Nagashi is the theme for Evangelion 3.0 - You can Not Redo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0860907/) which was/is the biggest box office opening for 2012 in Japan and an international release: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/anime-film-draws-japan-s-393314

Item 1 Published works describing songwriter/producer

 Why the re-listing..If article passes WP:MUSICBIO then can't the notice be remove ? HelloMyCalifornia (talk) 01:47, 29 December 2012 (UTC) Although it passes article 1 of WP:COMPOSER. Merging with his most recent song doesn't make sense or take into account his work with Mary Jess - notable for winning China X Factor. HelloMyCalifornia (talk) 02:22, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Merge into Sakura Nagashi. Until he has other hits, I believe the following from WP:COMPOSER applies: "Where possible, composers or lyricists with insufficient verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article should be merged into the article about their work.",
 * Keep Updated with more verifiable material so it can be considered 'reasonably detailed'. I believe it passes WP:COMPOSER and WP:MUSICBIO.  Will wait to hear more thoughts.HelloMyCalifornia (talk) 18:39, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Based on these changes, I have changed my vote to "keep". Please note that you can only vote once. 1292simon (talk) 01:38, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
