Tracy W. Bush

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) The composer had nothing besides an interview and lots of passing mentions in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. I don't think a redirect to the company or games would be appropriate. czar 04:46, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep, found some nice coverage, including a good source at The Oxford Handbook of Interactive Audio. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 20:23, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Where are these sources? czar  11:20, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * In the spoon-fed searches above, which are supposed to inform the discussion rather than be ignored. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:00, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Reply: I believe what Czar was asking was for sources that actually meet the GNG, instead of half-sentence fleeting mentions explicitly debarred by the GNG as supporting the notability of the subject. That Oxford Handbook ref is one of those.   Ravenswing   05:08, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know, which is why I said the same in my !vote below. I was simply pointing out that there was no need for Czar to ask where that inadequate source can be found, because it is linked by the "find sources" template that we should all check before commenting here. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 14:23, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete My sweeps, using both "Tracy Bush" and "Tracy W. Bush", didn't turn up much, although I found a mention here. However, there is fairly consistent interest in this article here in Wikipedia at 30 pageviews per day (an unofficial measure of course) which I am somewhat at a loss to explain.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 21:43, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete (withdrawing !vote) – The only in-depth coverage I can find is the interview in Endgadget. The Oxford Handbook mention is textbook trivial (it says, "Leader composer Jason Hayes and composer Tracy W. Bush of the original WoW soundtrack were not part of the teams that made the music for the expansions"). Further detail on the World of Warcraft soundtrack can be given on the game's article, but Bush himself doesn't seem to be notable at this stage. — Nizolan  (talk) 04:40, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep'. Also an interview here: http://poptimal.com/2012/08/hybrid-interview-with-5th-cells-tracy-w-bush-innovating-a-genre/#.UCF0OtRrN8E If he's being regularly interviewed, this implies notability. Ross-c (talk) 08:24, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmm, yeah. Might potentially pass WP:NMUSIC per multiple feature-length articles etc, Poptimal seems to be an RS. (Archive link here in case anyone else is having trouble with this link: ) I'll hold off judgement. — Nizolan  (talk) 16:12, 11 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep' - per WP:GNG.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:18, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * How does it meet WP:GNG, {{ping|BabbaQ]]? soetermans . {{sup|↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK }} 09:36, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, possible redirect to World of Warcraft. We need several, in-depth reliable sources. A text book and one interview is not enough to merit its own article. soetermans . {{sup|↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK }} 09:36, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. The best source that we seem to have is The Oxford Handbook of Interactive Audio which mentions the subject in passing in a sentence that includes two other names. In the absence of anything better this appears to be a WP:GNG failure. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:04, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - if there is coverage it needs to be added. DaltonCastle (talk) 01:46, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * But there isn't any substantial coverage. soetermans . {{sup|↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK }} 10:54, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

{{clear}}
 * Delete: Sorry, all I'm seeing is marginal coverage on marginal sites. What I'm missing is substantive coverage in multiple reliable sources. 0+0+0=0.   Ravenswing   05:06, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
