Carson Cooman
Not particularly notable, as far as I can tell. Has performed a few places. Article does not assert notability. Adam Cuerden talk 02:33, 24 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Note: Another of Musikfabrik's promotional sites, I think. (Statement 2 of the Jean-Thierry Boisseau discussion here, specifically says Musikfabrik was set up to do this.}}


 * Again vanity, delete. Musikfabrik cabal pushing over-obscure people to articles. No. Moreschi 15:34, 24 September 2006 (UTC)


 * On second thoughts, perhaps keep. I don't really know. "Carson Cooman composer" (to distinguish him from the other carson coomans of this world) has 9,000 google hits, but then "Adam Cuerden" (real name) has 22,000. Tricky. Moreschi 11:25, 27 September 2006 (UTC)


 * A search for "Carson Cooman" in quotes, however, gives a mere 882 hits. "Carson P. Cooman" (again in quotes), 971 more, and "Cooman, Carson", 397. There's likely to be significant overlap. Meanwhile, the I-don't-think-I'm-notable "Adam Cuerden" (in quotes) gives 12,000. Delete, IMO. Adam Cuerden talk 12:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete then. Moreschi 12:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Looks like a case for deletion --Folantin 12:45, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. He sounds a talented man with many achievements; I have tried to be convinced, but the article doesn't establish it as my opinion that he is notable per WP:MUSIC.  The article says he has composed 600 works - a reference to a review of one of them by a reviewer in a national journal independently opining that it is a notable composition would convince me.  I notice that one of the hundreds of works the article says he has premiered is by Peter Maxwell Davies, although the piece was not written for him; however, although this appears to be his most notable first performance, it does not of itself convince me, either; I was somewhat surprised that it is not mentioned in the article.  His activities as journal editor, music reviewer, and collaborator with authors would be good article content if he were otherwise notable.  Notable teachers (and Bernard Rands and Gillian Weir certainly are notable) do not confer notability on the pupil.  The references cited are his own website and Musikfabrik, neither qualifies as independent.  --RobertG &#9836; talk 14:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

There's more where that came from, if this isn't enough...Jean-Thierry Boisseau 00:37, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
