Fails WP:MUSIC. The Daily Record article is insufficient to be considered "multiple, non-trivial, published works" as per criterion 1, and the awards received are not major enough to be considered to pass criterion 8. LukeSurlt c 16:23, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: non-notable as per WP:SIGCOV. Quis separabit?  19:12, 6 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. Satisfies WP:SIGCOV as in addition to the Daily Record article already cited, O'Rourke has been the subject of significant coverage in the The Herald and The Scotsman, and on the websites of the Scottish Arts Council  and the PRS for Music Foundation , all of which would appear to be independent and reliable sources.

 * Keep. His commission for New Music 20x12 indicates notability and received significant coverage.  --Deskford (talk) 22:24, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. In addition to the above sources, here are two Allmusic reviews . Given the coverage on the whole, this person appears to meet WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO.  Gongshow   talk  18:10, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks to everyone providing new sources. I see Aidan O'Rourke meets the GNG. I'm happy to withdraw this nomination. Perhaps these sources could be incorporated into the article? --LukeSurlt c 10:14, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
