This article is an autobiography and violates WP:AB — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skapur (talk • contribs) 12:37, 31 October 2006
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 15:22, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. TV and radio appearances - appears to pass WP:MUSIC. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 16:45, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yah, if recitals acroos Australian = national tour . Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim   14:26, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * How does that work? Every member of every church choir or highschool band who has ever participated as a guest recitalist for another ensemble would then qualify as having had a national tour. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 23:02, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - twenty-one year old church organist who appeared on public access television and radio. This article is a perfect example of blatant self-promotion, check the logs. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 17:38, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Not public access television, but real broadcast television and radio. The article makes this clear. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 17:48, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Broadcast on Radio New Zealand, a public service broadcaster and an unspecified sattelite of Television New Zealand. Levy has performed only as part of a musical ensemble, his media appearances fail the criteria set forth by WP:MUSIC.ˉˉanetode╦╩ 23:02, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Has won national competitions, and appeared on national television numerous times.  TVNZ is NOT public access television.  It is the state broadcaster and New Zealand's leading television network.  Radio New Zealand is also not public access radio but New Zealand's leading Radio broadcaster.  He has also released a solo CD so qualifies as a recording artist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.109.211.227 (talk • contribs) (vote #1)


 * Delete. He played the organ on TV and radio not as a soloist, but as an accompanist for larger broadcasts. And as for competitions, the "New Zealand Association of Organists Performance Competition" is pretty small beer. --Calton | Talk 02:05, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep small keep for a small beer and the organist at the tsunami memorial service. Oh, I think he was soloist for that. correct me if I am wrong.  Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim   14:24, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * This is not a notable event for being listed as per WP:MUS --- Skapur 04:40, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep . Given he has appeared on tv, radio and released a CD I think the article should be kept. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.109.211.227 (talk • contribs) (vote #2)


 * Delete because the information is not verified and violates WP:AB. The first issue is not of notability but of verifiable sources.  The second issue is notability and he does not meet notability standards as specified in WP:MUS. --- Skapur 23:24, 1 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep . He DOES meet the wikipedia music criteria as he has appeared on national radio and televsion for longer than half-an-hour and has won national competitions and also toured internationally to a major country, Australia in this case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.109.211.227 (talk • contribs) (vote #3)
 * Read the notability critirea again. Was he the "subject" of an half hour TV or Radio NETWORK show or part of a large ensemble appearing on radio or TV? I have taken a tour of a lot of countries.  Please read the Music notability criteria again. Where is the verifiable source indicating the existence of the tour or broadcast performace? --- Skapur 04:36, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per Calton. Needs to supply at least references to his nationwide tour to satisfy WP:MUS. No sign of his CD on Amazon. All of 70 unique Ghits. "New Zealand Association of Organists" + competition scores all of 23 unique Ghits, the most pertinent of which are wiki entries and bios of the subject. I've tagged the article as a blatant copyvio.
