Keep per meeting WP:ANYBIO AND WP:CREATIVE and tag it for improvements. The man won a Razzie and has received nominations for an HFCS Award and an OFTA Film Award to meet WP:ANYBIO. Many sources are available for improvements as such coverage of he and his works meets WP:CREATIVE through such as Song Writer Universe, Billboard, Rollling Stone, Blabbermout, and many more Wow nominator, you found the "expected links at Books, News and Highbeam" but apparently ignored WP:NRVE and WP:NEXIST which tell us that notability is found through existing sources, and NOT in their use in an article. And remember, sources do not have to be "only" about this man as long as they speak about he or his work directly and in detail. This is a matter for regular editing, not deletion. And as AFD is not the place to force it being done, care to withdraw your nomination and simply tag the article for work? Thanks. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 21:11, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm a bit troubled by this article lacking sources to back up claims, but my independent searches beyond this article finds verification of notability. ShelbyMarion (talk) 13:19, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The notices asking for better references are pretty old, but still, I don't think we should delete the article as long as those references are available, which they seem to be.RockyMtChai (talk) 19:55, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
