John Baltimore

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article asserts notability, but I can't find much evidence for it. The "DC Philharmonic Orchestra" that he was allegedly conductor of doesn't exist - the website (linked to in the article's talk page) is gone, and this site indicates it dissolved in 2007. GNews turns up nothing. There is a "Jon Baltimore" music store in New York but that is unrelated. Much of this article also seems to be fluff (Petting zoo experiences? Studying pilates and yoga?) I see nothing that meets WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO guidelines. Mr. Vernon (talk) 22:29, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - According to some articles in the Baltimore Sun, Mr. Baltimore attempted to start a new "DC Philharmonic" in 2009 but it immediately collapsed and made the news for cancelling its inaugural symphony. It appears that his orchestra was never heard from again. Mr. Baltimore only made the news very briefly due to this mishap, and has no reliable media coverage of any of his other endeavors. Delete per WP:BIO1E. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 15:26, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Doomsdayer520. The subject lacks in-depth coverage in reliable sources.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 19:00, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - per WP:GNG and WP:MILL. He did not do anything notable. Trying to start an orchestra isn't notable by itself. Lots of people get in the news for starting an arts project. Bearian (talk) 20:20, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
