 * Sekles was a German composer and conservatory teacher, whose students included Paul Hindemith and Theodor Adorno (and he was an important enough influence to be mentioned in works on them). There are articles on Bernhard Sekles in Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians and New Grove Dictionary of Opera, both available at Grove Music Online. His name also gets 154 hits on Google Books. up◦land 18:46, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep I have made a few quick improvements to the article; there is probably more that could be done. Several sources made much of his introduction of jazz to the conservatory, it was apparently quite controversial due to its association with African-Americans. A lesser figure, but deserving of an article, most likely. --Brianyoumans 18:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep There seem to be many G-hits for a long dead entity, which to me suggests that there is notability. --Kevin Murray 19:00, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
