The result was delete. I'm sorry but the "delete" !voters make the stronger argument here. There's not enough coverage of him yet. Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:54, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Biography of a run of the mill sound engineer and composer. Credits include background music for some video games, short films and documentaries. Fails WP:CREATIVE and WP:GNG. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:58, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - a BLP with no significant coverage in independent reliable sources fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG criteria. An online search failed to find any significant discussion of this person or their work. (NOTE: while searching, this person should not be confused with Chris Green, former chief executive of BASCA.) One brief interview in his college magazine and a small list of non-notable credits on IMDb does not pass the requirement for significant coverage. This person's career may someday be notable -- but, as of now, an encyclopedic article is entirely premature. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 16:17, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Person has written two scores for computer games deemed notable enough to be included on Wikipedia, Doctor Who: Return to Earth and Doctor Who: Evacuation Earth, therefore does he not become notable enough too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.153.156.60 (talk) 12:39, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment To answer your question, a work can be notable without a person who contributed to that work being notable. A lot of non-notable actors are listed in the credits of notable films for example. Indeed, the writer of Doctor Who: Return to Earth is a redlink. Harry the Dog WOOF 12:45, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Per nom. This is a person at the start of his career who has yet to build a body of work or track record of awards sufficient to make him notable. Harry the Dog WOOF 12:43, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Updated with additional information and independant links - interview with Nokia talking about work with Criterion Games and Electronic Arts (http://nokiaconnects.com/2012/05/22/nokia-connects-live-video-game-sound-design-podcast/) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.180.122 (talk) 19:51, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Seems more than a "run-of-the-mill" composer, notable enough for Nokia to take notice/interview and works on AAA games as a composer. Also after looking through Wiki at some other composer/sound designer bios, i feel this one is better reference and supported than a lot of other on here. Therefore, seems unfair to not keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.139.134 (talk) 09:11, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Definitely run of the mill. A few credits and an interview or two do not make someone notable according to the policies referenced in the nomination. If there are worse articles, they should be nominated too. It's not a reason to keep this one. Beingthechange (talk) 11:55, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - I came across this article and found it interesting, relevant and notable enough to put forward a case for keeping it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.116.0.180 (talk) 12:29, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment That argument amounts to "I like it". No indication of how the article meets any particular inclusion guideline. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:37, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
