Talk:Alfred Momotenko Levitsky

Templates
I added a number of templates to this article today in order to address concerns which were brought up by Francis Schonken at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music. Putting aside whether the subject meets the threshold of notability (the aforementioned editor seemed to believe not, but performances of the subject's music by notable musicians would suggest otherwise), the article needs work. It would be ideal if coverage of this composer by a major journalistic outlet could be found, for example. At the moment, it seems to rely on mostly YouTube links and the subject's own website. There are also biographical details which are inserted that are never sourced. For example, is there an article that can be cites wherein it can be established that the composer is typically referred to as "Fred?" Igor Stravinsky may have enjoyed being called "Iggy" for all we know, but if there is no source indicating this use in a professional setting, then it does not seem relevant to the article. Finally, this article reads more like a list than a biographical article. Hopefully these problems can be rectified soon. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 03:19, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Added a Connected contributor template to the banners at the top of this talk page., please confirm your involvement with "Babs Appels Interieurarchitectuur", sponsoring Alfred Momotenko-Levitsky. For clarity, "the aforementioned editor seemed to believe not" in CurryTime's contribution above is completely wrong: I never said nor implied anything of the kind. Please don't misrepresent my words. --Francis Schonken (talk) 05:39, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

These are not all problems with references in the "Compositions" section, only those that are too insufficiently referenced to maintain in mainspace without additional and/or improved references (other issues include external links without date; formatting/layout; etc.) --Francis Schonken (talk) 08:49, 3 May 2021 (UTC) Updated 12:09, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
