 * comment it appears the nom has been asked to prove a negative. 5 sources are currently listed.  The first is self-referential as the organization founded by the subject, not otherwise notable.  The second may go towards establishing notability, hard to tell as the page has been deleted, and it may be a press release.  The rest are from his place of employment, which are not independent references.  They do not rise to the level of showing WP:NPROF.  He is given a mention here  and here  (likely self-publilshed work).  This  also mentions him briefly, but would go much further towards establishing the notability of his choir.  He is a published composer arranger, with numerous publications by a major publisher .  Through numerous passing mentions it is obvious his choirs have toured multiple times internationally, but these references provide no information on Leck the person.    78.26   (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 14:41, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Induction is not a form of proof. Unscintillating (talk) 23:42, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's kinda my point... My guess is that he's marginally notable, but certainly the current sources don't prove it, and the sources I've found don't readily demonstrate it either.    78.26   (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 23:57, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I was responding to your first sentence, which implies that I asked the nom to prove a negative. That is not accurate, since induction is not a form of proof.  Unscintillating (talk) 20:01, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
 * One of your book references claims that there was a concert in Oklahoma with his name in the name of the concert. The references in the article show that he has received the highest awards that Indiana has for his profession.  Accepting that Butler University is a reliable publisher, the article is sufficiently referenced, even though for a bio, we'd really want more information such as when he was born.  Yes, student organizations don't get the attention that adult ones do, but he has been in the public eye since 1986.  I'm not at all convinced that there is or was a case here for deletion.

 * As you have similarly noted, the nom did not report that the second reference was a dead link. I have restored the link using .  Unscintillating (talk) 20:01, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
