 * Keep. I added some references. — Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:10, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Coverage not spectacular (at least not in sources GNews can find), but I think the fact he has been touring internationally to conduct (and got media coverage for it) sways it. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 07:50, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep and move to James Ross. MiRroar (talk) 16:00, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I decided to act on MiRroar's suggestion to move the page. It turns out that there are many other articles on people named James Ross so I moved this one to James Ross (conductor). I went bold on this one because there should not have been the "Dr." in the article title to start with. D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 18:24, 5 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak keep - I agree with the other "weak keep" votes above in that the coverage for Dr. Ross is not spectacular but there is probably enough to give us a serviceable stub article. D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 18:25, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - his academic work alone would not qualify, but I guess he barely meets WP:MUSIC as "won or placed in a major music competition" -- although it would be great to have an independent source for that claim. To be honest, as someone who is fairly knowledgeable about classical music, I would not personally consider him notable on the basis of his claimed achievements;  but he seems to meet the letter of the criterion and life is too short...

 * Weak keep but rename -- He seems to be at the beginning of a career as an academic musicologist. "Co-author" is too grand for a contributor to a volume of academic essays.  I suspect the English Historical Review is a difficult journal to get published in and points to significance.  Rename to James Ross (conductor), as we already have one on another James Ross.

 * Weak keep references added, makes a good enough claim of notability to me.  — fetch ·  comms   01:20, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
