Aaron Tindall

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The only assertion of notability is the claim of a Grammy-nominated recording. However, as I mentioned on the talk page more than a month ago, I can find no evidence that his recording was in fact nominated for a Grammy. A month ago it was not mentioned on his personal website nor his EMU faculty biography, and though it's since been added to each of those, I can find no independent mention of this. The relevant Grammy category is either "Best Instrumental Soloist(s) Performance (With Orchestra)" or "Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (Without Orchestra)", and outside the Wikipedia article, mirror sites, and sites related to him, there is nothing to support the statement that the recording was nominated. cmadler (talk) 12:51, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Doing this Google News archive search, one source (American Music Teacher) shows he won a national student competition in 2005. The source also says, "Aaron has been a prize winner in various solo competitions throughout the United States and also has performed in Finland, Hungary and Italy." But I could find no other coverage, including by searching a library database of newspaper and magazine articles. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 13:14, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * If the Grammy nom is bogus, do you think the MTNA plus "various solo competitions" is enough to establish notability? (I'd think not.) cmadler (talk) 14:46, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd still hope to see more coverage in reliable sources before I would recommend a "keep". Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 11:27, 3 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - I can't find significant coverage about him to establish notability. The claim of a 2010 Grammy nomination is not only unverified, but strictly untrue as the Grammy nominees and winners from the Grammy site itself makes no mention of Aaron Tindall or his recording "Songs of Ascent". -- Whpq (talk) 13:12, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: - His record company may have submitted the CD for consideration, but that is not a nomination. -- Whpq (talk) 13:13, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
