Previously Expired PROD. concern was: "Insufficient coverage in reliable sources; accomplishments relate to his company, not him, so he is not notable under WP:NMUSIC"—that still stands. This is just a largely unsourced database entry, and the provided sources do not talk about him but are generic product listing/database entries. Unless new & better sources are introduced, this individual does not appear to have enough sig, in-depth coverage. X (talk) 13:57, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

:Keep. Agree that the article as it stands could do with better sources - and quite a lot of work on formatting - but a quick google shows that he is notable enough and covered in news articles, Billboard magazine, etc. that qualifies him for inclusion. His music has been used a LOT in films, which makes him pretty notable. I don't have time to spend on improving it now but would like to come back to it if nobody else does.

::p.s. I would get rid of all of those long lists and just keep a selection of notable films. Else could draftify until it is up to standard. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 08:37, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

• Draftify: I can't see sigcov of him personally (eg: for Billboard [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22ali+theodore%22+site%3Abillboard.com&client=firefox-b-d&sca_esv=4465b960e5384484&sxsrf=ADLYWIJ4jrib7CeTXAWOHkeg7vsNP-qz-Q%3A1728974558434&ei=3g4OZ4eUGrnn2roP2an1oQM&ved=0ahUKEwiH-4WT5I-JAxW5s1YBHdlUPTQQ4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=%22ali+theodore%22+site%3Abillboard.com&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiISJhbGkgdGhlb2RvcmUiIHNpdGU6YmlsbGJvYXJkLmNvbUieIVC2DFiuH3ABeACQAQCYAaECoAGhDaoBBTAuNi4zuAEDyAEA-AEBmAICoAK6A8ICCBAAGIAEGKIEmAMAiAYBkgcDMi0yoAfuDg&sclient=gws-wiz-serp][https://www.google.com/search?q=%22ali+dee%22+site%3Abillboard.com&sca_esv=4465b960e5384484&biw=1225&bih=958&ei=SxEOZ_bDLoXh2roPtdWF2A8&ved=0ahUKEwi2lam75o-JAxWFsFYBHbVqAfs4FBDh1QMIDw&uact=5&oq=%22ali+dee%22+site%3Abillboard.com&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiHCJhbGkgZGVlIiBzaXRlOmJpbGxib2FyZC5jb21IkT5QzwFYrjtwAngAkAEBmAGJAqAByB2qAQYwLjE5LjS4AQPIAQD4AQGYAgugAvMMwgIJEAAYsAMYBxgewgIIEC4YgAQYsAPCAggQABiABBiwA8ICChAuGIAEGEMYigXCAgUQLhiABMICBRAAGIAEwgIZEC4YgAQYQxiKBRiXBRjcBBjeBBjgBNgBAcICBhAAGAcYHsICChAAGIAEGEMYigXCAgYQABgWGB7CAggQABiiBBiJBcICCBAAGIAEGKIEwgIjEC4YgAQYlwUY3AQY3gQY4AQY9AMY8QMY9QMY9gMY9wPYAQHCAgUQIRigAZgDAIgGAZAGA7oGBggBEAEYFJIHBTIuNy4yoAfuZA&sclient=gws-wiz-serp][https://www.billboard.com/artist/ali-dee-and-the-deekompressors/]), the format is totally unsuitable, and it's not clear at all to me what is significant. For example, He-man and the Masters of the Universe credits him for "title music" on IMDB, but when you dig he's not the main composer and there's a lot of people credited for title music[https://m.imdb.com/title/tt11465278/fullcredits/music_department?ref_=m_ttfc_16][https://m.imdb.com/title/tt11465278/fullcredits/composer?ref_=m_ttfc_5]; there's no info on Hawkeye's December the 24[https://www.google.com/search?q=%22ali+theodore%22+%22December+the+24%22+%22hawkeye%22&sca_esv=44e176f0d5401fef&ei=ixIOZ-fNAcrn2roPhvmngQI&ved=0ahUKEwinv8fT54-JAxXKs1YBHYb8KSAQ4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=%22ali+theodore%22+%22December+the+24%22+%22hawkeye%22&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiKiJhbGkgdGhlb2RvcmUiICJEZWNlbWJlciB0aGUgMjQiICJoYXdrZXllIjIIEAAYgAQYogRI3iVQlg9YriRwA3gAkAEBmAGgAqABqBKqAQUwLjcuNbgBA8gBAPgBAZgCBaACvQXCAggQABiiBBiJBZgDAIgGAZIHBTEuMy4xoAeKFA&sclient=gws-wiz-serp]; he's in as an executive music producer for a season of Alvinnn!!! And the Chipmunks but not as composer[https://m.imdb.com/title/tt3496230/fullcredits/composer?ref_=m_ttfc_5][https://m.imdb.com/title/tt3496230/fullcredits/composer?ref_=m_ttfc_5]; he's third credited name on Underdoggs' See Me Rock It[https://www.soundtrack.net/movie/the-underdoggs/]. The only criterion that he looks to maybe pass is WP:NMUSIC#10 but it's likely to require a lot of digging to establish the evidence for this and to cut his article down to noteworthy works. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 07:08, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
