 * Delete. Commercial spam. Article links to a site that sells his music. Xxanthippe (talk) 10:27, 24 June 2014 (UTC).
 * Delete. Promotional and lacking any indicators of notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:39, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Spam. The citations to Church Times (FN 2&3), Australian Music Centre (FN 6) and the article (FN 8) are dead links. The other references are to his web site. Google scholar does find the chekker article and an article on medieval keyboard compass, both in JSTOR, but I can find nothing close to WP's requirements for notability. --Stfg (talk) 15:21, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment—The article has an unfortunate peacock smell about it, which could be remedied with a few excisions. A few of his recordings have been published by commercial houses (isn't this clear in a google search?). I think also some commissioned reports and minor publications (don't ask me where, and some might be self-published). There would certainly be some newspaper reviews of live performances (they'd be hard to access and would have been last century). It's on the low side of the notability window. But I'm not helpin' out, coz I hate the guy and I'd be pleased for the article to go down in flames. :-) Tony   (talk)  15:28, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
