[edit] Jan Morgenstern

Commercial/vanity entry, no notability established. 12,000 Google results; however, the vast majority are about other people with the same name, the few-and-far-between references to this person are mostly found on discussion forums etc. Thorsten1 09:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - non-notable composer. Text in the article appears to be copied from [here]. [IMdB] has him having nothing else of note and I can find no news articles outside of the ones about Elephants Dream. Peripitus (Talk) 11:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Take a look at the Last.fm wiki entry history[1]; the WP article is in fact the original. qwe 07:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep Delete - Speaking as the one who started the article, I am not Jan Morgenstern, nor am I connected to him in any way, personally or professionally. Thus, it is not a Commercial/vanity entry. Notability could be disputed, I suppose; I started the article because it was redlinked on Elephants Dream. He has also written the music for Blender's SIGGRAPH demo reels for the last few years. I also searched Google for "Jan Morgenstern" (including the quotes) and surfed through the first hundred or so results; for the most part, they all refer to the same person. I'm not entirely sure how that's classified as "few and far between". Cheers. qwe 07:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
What you need for the article to be notable is something that satisfies the Composer section of WP:BIO
Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a musician or ensemble that qualifies above.
Has been the subject of a biography published as a book, or has several articles by at least 2 different authors in the peer reviewed publications.
Has had a work used as the basis for a later composition by a songwriter, composer or lyricist who meets the above criteria.
Has written a song or composition which has won or placed in a major music competition not established expressly for newcomers.
Has been listed as a major influence or teacher of a composer, songwriter or lyricist that meets the above criteria.
and I cannot find that he satisfies any of these - Peripitus (Talk) 07:40, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
