- Weak Delete looks non-notable. Nearly Headless Nick 12:23, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- Weak delete, it has to be by WP:MUSIC without reliable sources. There's a bio here at his production label website though. - Motor (talk) 12:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Keep Easily meets WP:MUSIC by charting in a large country - from his official website: "In 2000 he is involved in a chart success with a funk-soul song he writes for the artist Malina called “By your side”, remixed and licensed by Tommy Boy label NY, reaching # 12 on Billboard charts."

- Strong Delete unless someone can verify this claim. [1] knows him but doesn't list any chart placements for him. Deleteme42 18:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- This site [2] says that the song hit #1 in the U.S., this site [3] says it was the #6 dance song for the YEAR 2001, and this site [4] shows that Gaetani composed the song for Malina. Royalbroil 03:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Regarding the it was the #6 dance song for the YEAR 2001: Is this any notable chart? This seems to be roughly the personal charts of some person... I'm not sure about the reliability of the other sources you quote, but considering that everyone can easily create a webpage containing any amount of nonsense or false information, you should take more care what to cite.

- Also, AllMusic.com shows that the song hit #13 [5], and this link [6] (also on allmusic) shows that he wrote the songs for her. These combine to demonstrate he meets the WP:MUSIC criteria "For composers, songwriters, librettists or lyricists: Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a musician or ensemble that qualifies above.", and Malina meets the criteria "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, hip hop crew, DJ etc) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria: Has had a charted hit on any national music chart, in at least one large or medium-sized country." That country is the United States. Royalbroil 05:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
