Notability not established, no sources. The only third party source I could find [1] is a blog. _{Óðinn ☭☆ talk} 01:31, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lack of significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources. (the external links are mostly blogs, I think) Aditya Ex Machina 08:39, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some sources-

[2] - an originalsoundversion.com interview with him

[3] - a Gamasutra interview with someone else about something he worked on, he's referenced in it.

[4] - google cache of a music4games (site is currently down) piece discussing how he's working on Contra 4, and refering to a magazine article in Nintendo Power that also mentions him.

He's also pretty big around OverClocked ReMix, so there's a bunch of refs that could be pulled from there.

In the end, though, the article does establish notability in that he was the composer for the big-name video games Red Faction: Guerrilla and Contra 4, among many others. I'll admit the article is in bad shape, but if it looks like this AfD is heading away from deletion, then I'll work on it. Don't feel like wasting my time on it though, if it's all going to get burned. --Pres N 01:12, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the article does too assert notability. Composed for big-name games and such. Voretus (talk) 03:24, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and add MX tags - While the format for the article is wrong, there are enough references between there and here to establish notability. --Teancum (talk) 12:30, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep. A Google News search for his name and "music" gives a couple of reliable sources that establish notability. Drmies (talk) 04:42, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
