 * Keep Meets WP:NCREATIVE, having created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work, namely "Santa Baby", although it appears his body of songwriting work may also meet the criteria. The article has citations to Billboard, New York Times, and Los Angeles Times that constitute evidence for meeting this criterion. Jfire (talk) 17:07, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep meets WP:COMPOSER based on Santa Baby and as a mentor to Fred Ebb. LizardJr8 (talk) 18:33, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep (speedy even) - The nomination is a problem in its own right, with no policy-based reasons given for the supposed lack of notability, and there is little indication that the nominator did a WP:BEFORE search or even read the article as it stands now. At any rate, the article could be cleaned up a bit (reliant on blogs in several places) but Mr. Springer easily meets the requirements for reliable coverage, not just for "Santa Baby" but for a long career in film and TV scores. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 19:04, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep He is clearly a notable person if we see the references in the article. Charsaddian (talk) 08:19, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep as has substantial coverage in multiple reliable sources already in the article such as Billboard, The NYT, LA Times and others so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 01:08, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep as the composer of multiple classic film scores and songs, including the famous Santa Baby, which was written for Eartha Kitt and covered by many famous singers. The article needs clean-up and additional sources, but the normal editing processes can take care of that, not AfD. There are sufficient sources to meet the WP:SIGCOV standard.
