Ave Maria (Rossi)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Piece has received no journalistic notice that I can find. tagging has resulted in some very low viewership youtube links being added. I'm sure it's very good, but is it notable? Richfife (talk) 02:56, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I am this article’s primary author. I believe the minimum time for the deletion process is 7 days, is this correct?  I am swamped with work and travel this week so please have a little patience with me.  I may not have time until later in the week or the weekend to formally respond to your request but I will do so as soon as possible. – Thanks.G8trsrule (talk) 23:05, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I've created a copy of the article in your personal space here: User:G8trsrule/Ave_Maria_(Rossi) so that article is not lost if the AFD leads to delete. You can maintain it there if you like until better sources appear. - Richfife (talk) 18:14, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete At least so far it fails WP:NSONG. VernoWhitney (talk) 16:17, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * My father's Ave Maria is relatively new yet it has been performed by Susan Neves, an internationally acclaimed NY Metropolitan opera star, it has been performed internationally, legendary arranger Charles Calello has written a musical score for it for a full orchestra, and legendary choral arranger Hawley Ades wrote several choral arrangements for it before he died. Yet, after reading the notability requirements for songs WP:NSONG I find it difficult to argue with your notation that this article does not meet the required standards.  This is simply because it has not yet been written about journalistically, accomplishing that is difficult for a religious piece such as this.  I appreciate that Richfife has copied the article to my personal space, if the decision is made to delete this article I will maintain the full article there until such time that the Ave Maria article can stand on its own merits with more sources and references and according to Wikipedia's guidelines. Thanks for your consideration. G8trsrule (talk) 20:42, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
