From the current version, I simply can't see clearly if he's fully notable and the best my searches found were this, this, this, this and this and after being tagged as a likely copvio in August 2007, this simply has not improved since starting then.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak Keep of the sources that you presented, this one seems to provide enough content from WP:RS to pass WP:GNG.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:40, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Just a note that the copyvio was essentially 2 sentences, and then the article was completely rewritten. I deleted the copyvio revisions just now. (regarding the content, I am on the fence on registering a !vote either way, but if the article barely meets WP:GNG then we should default to keep). -- Samir 01:27, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Of note is that the source provided in the keep !vote directly above is a primary source, which does not serve to establish notability. North America1000 15:06, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Here's his faculty info page at Vanderbilt:  He meets notability. --  MurderByDeadcopy  "bang!"  15:36, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting because closure was undone (see above for details). Remember that the discussion can be re-closed at any time. ansh 666 11:07, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: only sources that turn up are affiliated., a faculty page on a university website is not independent of the subject, as required by WP:NBIO. (, which source are you referring to? Your link is a Google results page.) Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 17:37, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * My point is that the search results (not source) show that various WP:RSs exist to present biographical details. From the first handful of results this, this, and this seem to be RSes.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:20, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - While accomplished, the searches didn't return enough in-depth coverage from reliable independent sources to show notability. The 3 sources mentioned in this AfD are all primary sources (2 of them are dupes to the Vanderbilt page). The rest of the searches simply turned up trivial mentions, festival announcements, etc. So unless being the principal clarinetist in the Colorado Symphony Orchestra guarantees notability, he doesn't seem to pass the bil. (pun intended). Note - I was !voting while the admin was closing the discussion, after conferring with the closing admin, they saw no issue with me adding this, even though the discussion was closed.

 * Delete. The only independent reliable source was the Yamaha page in the nomination statement, so this doesn't seem to meet WP:MUSICBIO or WP:ACADEMIC. Patar knight - chat/contributions 00:54, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
