• Keep Article just needs sourcing. Sources are available. Article, in fact, is already tagged for sourcing, which raises the question of whether it is appropriate to bring articles to AFD when they seem fairly clearly to simply need sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:26, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Sourcing is not the only issue here. The subject did not compose any of the music in the films listed in the article -- he composed the music for the trailers. Similarly with the list of television programs -- the subject did not compose the music, he orchestrated the work of others. As for the ESPN themes, it is difficult to see how those brief instrumental themes confer any notability on the composer (and I note that the linked articles don't refer to the theme music at all, let alone discuss the input from any one composer). In all, I see a man who is having a successful music-related career, but not one that is worthy of notice by an encyclopedia. Going back to the question of sourcing, I see that much of the article's current state was added by User:Nathanhofheins. I presume that this is the same person as the subject of the article (and, if not, my apologies to the user). It is reasonable for us to note that, if the subject himself is unable to find sources for his statements, the rest of us have little hope of doing any better.

• Delete as per nom and above editors. Might be a case of
  WP:TOOSOON, but definitely does not meet the notability criteria at present. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:48, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply
