Hi @Taabii,

Thank you for reviewing my draft and for your feedback regarding WP:NCOMPOSER and general notability. I really appreciate this prompt feedback and I’ve taken your comments into account and have made significant improvements to the draft to ensure it meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for composers.

Key Updates to the Draft:

Stronger Independent Coverage:

I have incorporated additional independent, reliable sources, including Albuquerque Journal, Deadline, Gold Derby, Classic FM, and Awards Daily, which provide in-depth analysis of Jay Wadley’s work, rather than just mentions.

These sources include discussions of his compositional techniques, industry recognition, and his impact on film scoring.

Alignment with WP:GNG & WP:CREATIVE:

Wadley has received significant independent coverage analyzing his work, particularly for I'm Thinking of Ending Things and Swan Song.

His work was also featured in IndieWire's "10 Best Scores of 2020", reinforcing his industry impact.

The draft now ensures that sources go beyond primary interviews, focusing on how his work has been critically reviewed.

Clarifications & Refinements:

Instead of simply stating that Wadley was interviewed, I have summarized key takeaways from those sources, including his use of orchestral textures, dissonant harmonies, and minimalist motifs in scoring different films.

This ensures that the article focuses on his contributions rather than just documenting interviews.

I believe these revisions address WP:NCOMPOSER concerns and establish Wadley's notability beyond a doubt. I’d greatly appreciate your thoughts on whether these improvements sufficiently meet Wikipedia's criteria.

Thanks again for your time and guidance—I really appreciate your help in refining my work, As well as your prompt review earlier. Have a wonderful new year. Heytinaaam (talk) 21:54, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Glad you got it through! Hope you will consider editing more topics on Wikipedia. Erik (talk | contrib) 12:30, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you Erik! Grateful for your advice :) and yes! I hope to keep on editing now that I've started to understand how things work ... Heytinaaam (talk) 19:48, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Great! If it helps, here are a few crew articles I've done: Duane Adler, William Hoy (film editor), and Polly Morgan (cinematographer). Feel free to ask questions at WT:ACTOR, or if you get into film articles, WT:FILM is a pretty active place for discussions. It has MOS:FILM as well. (WP:ACTOR does not have much of a MOS, though.)
