Randy Albright

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This guy should meet WP:MUSIC, as he has written songs for multiple notable artists (as verified by a search of his All Music Guide listing). However, that doesn't really qualify as a reliable source as it's just a song listing -- no actual AMG bio. Furthermore, I can't find any reliable sources asserting to his notability as a songwriter. None whatsoever. Therefore, I believe that he fails WP:MUSIC. Possible COI as well; page was created by, a single purpose account.

 * Comment Searching the ASCAP database does turn up a Randy Stephen Albright who has a long list of songs, some of which were recorded by the artists named in the article. I haven't checked them out to see if any would meet WP:MUSIC but it seems possible. — Hello, Control Hello, Tony  00:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Most of his credits seem to be his own material. The only ones that I can see that were singles are "Oh Carolina" by Vince Gill and "That's Enough of That" by Mila Mason; the rest seem to have been cut either by Albright himself or by non-notable artists.

 * Delete In the absence of any indication that he was involved in the writing of a notable composition; fails WP:MUSIC. — Hello, Control Hello, Tony  17:14, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

 * It seems that this songwriter might pass WP:MUSIC but surely fails WP:V. If an encyclopaedic article can't be written, this should be deleted. S HEFFIELD S TEEL TALK 20:27, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
