This article cites no independent sources and is part of a walled garden on the Hillsong ministry, most of which appear to be written by members of the church. There is no claim of notability here which is not essentially self-referential: he is asserted to be notable as author of the songs which are asserted to be notable as written by him. I find no significant coverage outside of Hillsong and its dependent publications. Guy (Help!) 08:35, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If he's the author of a Dove-winning song, he meets WP:COMPOSER #4. This definitely needs sourcing, though, so I'm going to flag it for rescue. Jclemens (talk) 18:28, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral - per Jclemens, he's written a Dove-winning song, which is generally considered enough to establish notability. Sourcing is really needed however, and unless the information in this article can be verified independently, I wouldn't be too pleased if it was kept. Claritas § 18:59, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Click the Google news search at the top of the AFD. Plenty of mention of him. Filter results by adding in the word "hillsong"[1] Soulshine [2]does an interview with him. Dream Focus 09:01, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no reliable sources indicate that he is notable. Again, GHITS isn't a valid keep argument. Verbal chat 17:06, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I cited the Dove award at this point. Now has a source for him meeting WP:COMPOSER #4. Still needs more, but there's now notability clearly sourced. Jclemens (talk) 15:31, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Easily notable per extensive coverage in reliable sources, some of which have been added to the article. FeydHuxtable (talk) 15:44, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
