André Dumontagne
Unverifiable. No results on Google for this guy under various alternate spellings, not listed on Classical Net Composer Index. No results for his alleged wife's name are related to the article. No sources are cited in this article. Without any verification whatsoever, I must conclude that this is a hoax, albeit an unusually subtle one.. --W.marsh 23:53, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Can we get the input of a Wikipedian interested in classical music to be sure? Perhaps he's just not mentioned online. People with access to books on the subject may be able to find sources we can't. - Mgm|(talk) 00:13, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is no entry for him in Don Michael Randel's Harvard Concise Dictionary of Music, and that calls into question whether he is notable even if he is real. --Metropolitan90 01:12, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless verification is forthcoming (I've posted an enquiry to the contributor ). Tearlach 01:16, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete While this looks like a really good article, I must vote delete unless verification can be established. Knowledge Of  Self  |  talk  03:20, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Wow, too bad really that it's a hoax. (Bjorn Tipling 07:13, 11 December 2005 (UTC))
 * Comment. His name is not found in Webster’s Biographical Dictionary, 1980 edition. I surely hate to give up a classical music composer, but there does not seem to be any verification. At least the contributor has five days to provide verification. &bull;DanMS 08:16, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Looks like an elaborater hoax. Fr.wiki hasn't got him and dumontagne isn't a likely French surname.  Various Google searches for him and his works show nothing.  I think it's the worst kind of timewaster.    Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  10:22, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * "Delete' as per above. Olorin28 20:23, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I listen to and play classical piano music all the time, and I've never heard of this guy. Hoax. --YixilTesiphon Say hello 04:13, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as nomination --Mecanismo | Talk 21:49, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
