Seemingly questionable notable and improvable music biography as the best I found was only this, this and this. Notifying past users and  and also  who lists to be notified and may have some classical music insight.. SwisterTwister  talk  03:32, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep appears to be quite important as one of the first female principal brass players with an American orchestra. Long LA Times profile from 1988. One book reference already cited in article too.--Samuel J. Howard (talk) 03:50, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Weak claim to notability. Subject is obviously a competent musician, but the article mostly drops names and has little in the way of strong sources we require for BLPs. Agricola44 (talk) 20:30, 30 November 2015 (UTC).
 * Keep: The LA Times story and the small book mention cited above as well as discussion of her achievement in this encyclopedia article, on Minnesota public radio are sufficient for the GNG (especially considering that many sources from the time of her achievement would not normally be found online). Principal musicians at major orchestras have generally been found to be notable at AfD. San Diego Symphony is just below that bar, but the coverage for her particular glass ceiling breaking is beyond that of musicians at similar institutions.  Her achievements at Hamilton College are not enough for WP:PROF, but only one notability guideline needs to be passed. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 05:24, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment I think she's worth keeping. I'm going to add the sources when I can tonight. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:57, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
