First, this biography of a (supposedly) living person is entirely unsourced, and has been so for more than one year. Second, while it seems he contributed some lyrics to the songs of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, I do not think that he passes WP:MUSIC, contrary to the findings of the first nomination. He would be notable if he "[h]as credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition", but applying this to every song of the said band seems like over-stressing the principle.
