Cannot find any substantial coverage. Current sources are either unreliable (discogs) or a funeral home (I think?). German WP article is almost identical, as this one is a translation. –  Aza24  (talk)   19:04, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

 * The person composed and played unusual recordings for an unusual instrument, and taught, all this before the time of web coverage, and most of his career in East Germany.

 * too tired to look for more --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:54, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * These are all just passing mentions though...  Aza24  (talk)   23:58, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * As I said, his main career was before the internet, and in East Germany. He made recordings that were mentioned decades later, which tells me to keep. . Perhaps SusunW can dig up newspapers? Anyway, I'll have no time for him today, but promise to look tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:33, 18 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep, noting I was called here by . As she said likely many off-line sources. East German, allowed to tour the US and internationally, was really unusual. ,,, VP of the Tuba International Brotherhood Association, the inaugural VP. There are also bits, ,,, and then there is this "Concerto for Tuba and Orchestra" by Joachim Gunner  (p 131, 133), "Sieben Miniaturen für Vier Tuben" by Gunter Kochan (p 226); and Fanfare for a Friend by John Stevens (p 254) were all written for Unkrodt. Book also includes people he taught. Would need input from someone who has access to a library (I don't, but possibly the RX, where I've ordered.) to see the bios here: "Dietrich Unkrodt studied at the Berlin Conservatory from 1952-1955 and was a member of Landeskapelle" (p 28), "Dietrich Unkrodt of the tuba jury displayed musical and instrumental vision which went far beyond the standard limits…He showed an adventurousness and determination to extend the limits of the tuba…" p 44. Clearly notable from other musicians' perspectives from what I can see. Has a bio Kürschners Musiker-Handbuch, p. 487. SusunW (talk) 13:45, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep, much improved, clearly shows notability now. —Kusma (talk) 16:13, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep as there is multiple reliable sources coverage such as a number of books identified in this discussion so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:02, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
