 * – ( View AfD View log )

Kept in 2008 (bundled AfD at Articles for deletion/Stingy Brimm) on the grounds of his best selling titles on his faculty bio and possible pass of academic notability. However under current standards, I do not see that he's well cited enough to pass that, leaving the GNG. There are interviews, and a number of performance listings but nothing independent, or significant enough. The books may well be best sellers, but I'm unable to verify that independently of his own school Star   Mississippi  18:18, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. It's not surprising not to see WP:NPROF for a guitar instructor.  I also didn't find reviews for WP:NCREATIVE.  I don't see any sign of other notability.  Watching this discussion, and will consider if better sources emerge. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 09:54, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Not an academic, but a guitar teacher with a position at Berkeley online, selling courses. No doubt that he is unusually versatile, but lacks independent coverage and does not meet WP:NPROF.  SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:50, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
