 * Comment The Harvard Dictionary of Music mentions him in its article on Macedonia. While the mention is far too little in itself even to contribute to notability, one wouldn't expect even that unless the dictionary compilers had access to other reliable sources that did discuss him in some depth. Not that I have been able to find them, but perhaps someone else can. PWilkinson (talk) 18:20, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment I agree that the mention in the Harvard Dictionary of Music is indicative. I suspect he's pretty notable in the Republic of Macedonia, but the sources aren't easy to come by in English. I found:
 * Stuff about him in these journals/ conference proceedings: Macedonian Review and Reflections on Macedonian music past and future (They're only snippet view, but they look like there might be enough there.)
 * He won the 2009 Trajko Prokopiev Award, a life achievement award bestowed by the Association of Composers of Macedonia to composers and musicologists (Macedonian Information Agency)
 * Quite a few articles on him in the Culture Republic of Macedonia website I assume it's a reasonably reliable source, perhaps someone familiar with the country would know more?
 * Paper on him at the 2006 IRAM conference of the Macedonian Music Council (There were 6 papers devoted to "portraits of distinguished Macedonian musicians" )
 * I'm almost tempted to ignore all rules and say keep. Voceditenore (talk) 14:30, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
