Delete. Completely unreferenced BLP of a composer and artist, written like a résumé and making no claim of actual notability above and beyond the fact that he and his work exist. As always, a person does not automatically become eligible for a Wikipedia article just because he exists; reliable source coverage, supporting a credible claim to passing WP:CREATIVE, must be present for a Wikipedia article to become earned.

Weak keep. (1) There's an interview from last September in TagesWoche (whose English article is pretty thin, but whose German article make them look pretty solid as a WP:RS). (2) He's associated with the Basel Sinfonietta - whose English and German Wiki articles are both pretty thin; but they have been going since 1980, and they have been invited to play at some VERY major music festivals, e.g. Lucerne and Salzburg; they are by no means to be sniffed at; they're mentioned on the city website of Basel. ((3) There are of course the usual non-WP:RS things around, some of which might support or add details; but none of which are relevant to an AfD discussion.)

IMO it might be worth searching for other German-language sources. Narky Blert (talk) 01:12, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
