WP:BLP of a musician and writer, not making any strong or properly referenced claim to passing either WP:NMUSIC or WP:NAUTHOR. The notability claim here is essentially that his work exists, which isn't an automatic notability freebie in the absence of a WP:GNG-worthy volume of reliable source coverage about it in the media, but the referencing is entirely to the self-published websites of directly affiliated companies or institutions. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the subject of third-party coverage and analysis in actual GNG-worthy media. Bearcat (talk) 17:58, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - as noted, there is proof here that the author exists, and that the author has published a couple of works and worked in theatre. Is there any indication that any of that is notable? Not that I can find. I found mentions of him in discussion of several musicals, but not in any great volume; I found a review of one book on a site that looked to be not terribly notable, but no real coverage of either he or his books. I can't find any proof that he meets any notability guidelines. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:07, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - The citations are not adequate and it doesn't pass MUSICBIO or GNG.Samanthany (talk) 01:14, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
