Fails to establish notability per WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Lacks reliable sources per WP:RS. Most of the references are self-published and none are from independent, third party sources. Geoff | Who, me? 20:27, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
@ Glane23: removed the section about the "early life" due to not having any sources other than LinkedIn
removed the first 2 paragraphs about Maclaine working for Smelly Van Riders, and Boston Search Group, Inc
added more sources to cite him working for rock band
Awaiting reply...

Update: Checked over other music composers such as "Jeremy Soule", and most of the specific information about him comes from interviews from multiple websites, his wikipedia article has the "good article" tag too. I do not see why Maclaine can't have the same.

Over the past week I have worked hard to ensure that the sources in the article are credible, reliable, and not self-published. I think that the article looks significantly better now compared to when it was nominated for deletion. I believe that the article is now notable and has reliable sources and it would be better to continue improving the article rather than deleting it entirely.

- Delete Despite the efforts to make the article notable, most of the sources are interviews or other WP:PRIMARY sources. I don't see a demonstration of significant coverage in secondary sources specifically about this person. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 01:08, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep WP:ANYBIO is met. Or perhaps WP:ARTIST #1 "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." He has done music for notable projects. He has also won awards from reliable sources in this industry based on his music in video games. Dream Focus 01:52, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
- WP:ANYBIO is not an instant get-out-of-AfD-free card. "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included." Is there proof that it satisfies notability? ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 02:30, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
