9. "Has won or placed in a major music competition." This, this, this, this are major international competitions.

4. "Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country." No evidence of non-trivial coverage.

6. "a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles". This guideline when applied to classical musicians refers to a permanent First Chair in a major symphony orchestra, or a member of a prominent and permanent chamber group, e.g. the Takács Quartet, the Borodin Quartet, the Kronos Quartet, etc.

Articles for Creation reviewers will only approve drafts which have more than a 50% chance of surviving an Articles for Deletion discussion. Deletion discussions which end in "delete" are not pleasant for either the subject or the article's creator, particularly so if the creator is acquainted in some way with subject.

The kinds of points I've made here are exactly the points that would be used in a deletion discussion to argue for "delete".

And no, we don't do "private" research to find out who the subject "really is" and then do a personal evaluation of them. It is a core policy of Wikipedia that we do not do this, and it's non-negotiable, especially in biographies of living persons. This is an encyclopedia. We summarize what reliable, published, independent sources have already written about the subject, and we require that there be a significant amount of such coverage. .

If you want further opinions on your draft and whether the subject meets the inclusion criteria at this time from other editors who are experienced in this area, I suggest you post a message at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical Music. Voceditenore (talk) 06:46, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
