- Keep the Allmusic bio and routledge book referenced in the article point to the composing of multiple tv theme tunes and scores which would count to passing WP:NMUSIC criteria 10 and as it is multiple tv shows redirecting to one would be inappropriate, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 01:23, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Per Atlantic306, plus other music sites, recently sampled by other musicians MNewnham (talk) 02:34, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep The article reflects what he's best known for in the English-speaking world, but the German Wikipedia article has a couple more sources that cover his non-soundtrack work. Nexis also finds an obit in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, 8th January 2004 which lists several German shows he composed for, and rather enthusiastically describes him as "the German king of easy listening ... the German Vince Guaraldi". Adam Sampson (talk) 20:52, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Likely to be kept per vote count alone anyway, but the sources Adam has provided have convinced me. Silly me forgetting to check for int'l versions. Withdrawn. QuietHere (talk) 04:05, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
