Redirect and "mention" Interesting case... a composer that does not cut albums, but instead composes music for numerous notable comedy series. It would then seem he does meet WP:MUSICBIO #10: "Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show". For instances such as his, guideline recommends a redirect and "mention". So how about to either cult favorites Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! or Tom Goes to the Mayor? And yes, while I have myself worked on both series, I do not personally know Davin. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 05:57, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Questions Where are you suggesting the page get redirected to? Why not source the article and !vote keep? I'll withdraw if reliable sources are added. J04n(talk page) 09:25, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Like you, I would have loved to have found enough for Wood to merit a seperate article, and looked for some expansive sources. But it seems Wood maintains a low personal profile. While his work as composer certainly might be verified, any sourced WP:V of that work will fail WP:GNG. And so, per WP:MUSICBIO #10, as the article has the verifiable claim of his having composed music for notable television series, and with the lack of significant coverage for that or other work, my own thought now is the guideline suggested redirect to the series for which he has the most credits (49) as composer... in this case to Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!. In preparation for the redirect (and editors are welcome to revert if they disagree), I just added a couple sentences to TEASGJ about his work as composer, being sure to include contextual mention of some of his other related series.[1] Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:16, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

redirect is fine, the funny this is that I thought 'Tim and Eric Awesome Show' and 'Great Job!' were two different shows. J04n(talk page) 21:17, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. And if the AFD sits open for a bit, others may have better luck than did we in finding expansive sources. Best, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 21:25, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
