More Work Needs to Be Done, But Deletion Not Necessary
Gerhard Trede was a composer of production music (music used in numerous productions of radio, television, and film) from the 1950s into the 1980s. His music (being production music) was not published in a conventional sense however, and so Trede's fame has not followed his work like it would other conventional artists. Despite his lack of apparent recognition, his notability should not be consequently diminished. Trede has a page on German wikipedia (https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard_Trede), and this page makes note of his work in Fallout 3 and Spongebob Squarepants, along with his Trede Foundation, although I've read that this article in particular may not fit WP:MUSIC criteria. Trede's known compositions include, but are not limited to, "Fox Boogie", "Jolly Days", "American Swing", "Hallo Mister X", "Manhattan", "Slow Bounce", "Strahlende Trompete", "Von Spanien Nach Südamerika". I might add that a selection of Gerhard Trede's music is available on iTunes if this at all adds to the establishment of his credibility (for example, on iTunes search "Happy Playground" Gerhard Trede). If this article doesn't make the cut, no hard feelings, I understand. In the meantime I'll be trying to find some more information on Trede in print format at my University's Library.
