 * Weak keep. I added citations to three separate academically-published reviews of his book. That is enough to show some notability for his works, I think. —David Eppstein 06:06, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,


 * Delete - His corpus of work is a specialist book and a few articles. SolidPlaid 01:14, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Specialist books are what academics write--that's not a negative comment. But in general I do not think one book is enough to show notability for someone in the humanities. His composition would add to it, but whether his compositions are notable would depend upon whether they have been reviewed or performed. We need specialist help in this, and it has not been forthcoming. DGG (talk) 03:17, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
