It seems the policies for notable composers [1] fail to recognize the work of TV composers.

Judging by this case, composing the music for a TV show watched for years by millions of people doesn't count, but composing something performed in a theatre and watched by far fewer people is officially notable:

> Has written musical theatre of some sort (includes musicals, operas, etc.) that was performed in a notable theatre that had a reasonable run, as such things are judged in their particular situation, context, and time.

This observation is likely a good basis for an improvement to the Wikipedia policies on Notability in music.
