 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy keep. The proposal to delete the article has no support and this seems unlikely to change. And there seem to be good reasons to close the discussion quickly as this is a BLP. (non-admin closure) Andrew D. (talk) 09:37, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Man who plays an organ at a Cathedral. Lacks widespread reliable coverage, fails WP:GNG. StickyWicket (talk) 22:33, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep This might be a reasonable description of an organist at a cathedral in a city of 30,000 people. However, this is the director of music and master of the cathedral choristers at the cathedral which is the seat of the head of the Church of England. He has led the choir for 30 years, and the choir, with him as director, has released at least 17 albums. They have also been on international tours. He certainly meets WP:MUSICBIO. I will search for and add more sources. RebeccaGreen (talk) 00:39, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. I’ve added one more ref. There are plenty of refs for his playing and leading the choir around the UK and in the USA but there doesn’t seem much point in cluttering the article up with them just to make a point. Mccapra (talk) 03:23, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Obviously notable eg per . —Mkativerata (talk) 07:18, 19 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep- revenge nomination. See Articles_for_deletion/Shabana_Latif. Reyk YO! 07:30, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Snowball keep petty tit-for-tat, this reflects poorly on the Cricket WikiProject of which I am a member. A basic WP:BEFORE check would have made it obvious that Flood sails through GNG requirements. I would close it as such, but feel that as part of CRIC, I can not call myself uninvolved.
