Notability concerns. Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 13:38, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MUSIC, another self-released musician. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:58, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep A winner of John Lennon Songwriting Contest (Pegasus News). You can find more about him in Bend Bulletin, Roanoke Times etc. etc. This is easily verifiable using reliable sources; this article could be interesting for our readers. --Vejvančický (talk) 19:39, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That particular contest, while nominally open to everyone including pros, tends to be won by unknown amateur musicians pretty much exclusively. For example, of the 12 winners from 2009, we have an article on just one of them. In other words, it doesn't confer instant notability the way a Grammy would.  The link you posted where he's scheduled to play at a local coffee shop (!) kind of underscores that he's not exactly on a blazing rocket to fame or anything.

 * Comment I see and understand your point. However, the US media noted his activities. I'm not his fan, but someone could be, and we have several independent and reliable sources describing his career. I'm just providing material for consideration. --Vejvančický (talk) 09:37, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep: A winner of John Lennon Songwriting Contest and notable per Google search. - Ret.Prof (talk) 02:30, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, a winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and therefore a case of WP:BLP1E. Otherwise fails WP:MUSIC. Abductive  (reasoning) 03:43, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think being the winner of an internationally prestigious music award demonstrates grounds for inclusion. WP:BLP1E is designed for the privacy protection of "low profile" individuals who inadvertently found themselves in the news through no fault of their own.  Not the case with this person.--Oakshade (talk) 17:25, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets notability standards of WP:COMPOSER. VernoWhitney (talk) 21:49, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
