Francis Goya

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

From a skim read, on the surface there is a reasonably well written BLP, however it only has a single citation; to a 5 page autobiographical CD album insert. I've tried to find reliable sources to support some/any of the claims in the article, however the only relevant English language source I could find of relevance was an 2015 interview in the Kyiv Post, which is possibly tagged as an advertisement.

 * Keep According to WP:MUSICBIO a musician may be notable if he has had a single or album on any country's national music chart, has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country, has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc.. Billboard magazine from 26 December 1981 shows that he had the bestselling instrumental album in the Finnish market, and that he received a string of gold awards. Multiple sources such as this one indicate that he was indeed the conductor of the Eurovision orchestra for at least 2 years. This source also documents a number of his media appearances.

 * Author Keep Billboard from Feb 5 1977 substantiates the awarding of a gold sales certification in the Netherlands. Though almost totally forgotten today (at least in the Anglophone world), Goya was successful forty years ago, and WP:NTEMP. Chubbles (talk) 18:30, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Week Keep: Has an entry in some history book about Muzak and a ProQuest search pulls up some news and magazine articles that can certainly be used to prove his notability (although he can't be confused with the painter of a similar name). Why? I Ask (talk) 23:11, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
