 * Of course orchestra membership doesn't make someone automatically notable, but this is a principal artist. If any member is notable, it's the person taking the lead in their instrument section. Also, the article mentions 2 CDs which if recorded with a major studio/label would meet WP:MUSIC. How it meets the criteria isn't yet clear, but it is quite possible it can, so this warrants further investigation from classical music experts. - Mgm|(talk) 12:09, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I've just sourced this article, cleaned it up and added recordings. I've listed 3 of his recordings where he appears as the trumpet soloist on two well-known classical music labels Chandos Records and Harmonia Mundi. He has an entry in  Das grosse Buch der Trompete: Instrument, Geschichte, Trompeterlexikon‎. Note these articles:
 * Bradley, Jeff, Festival a vacation for notable trumpeter, Denver Post, July 29, 1996; p. F-08


 * International Trumpet Guild, Dennis Ferry on US lecture tour, August 2008


 * See also his entry at WorldCat.It wasn't all that hard to find sources establishing notability. Shouldn't this have been tried before proposing for deletion? Voceditenore (talk) 01:50, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
