No indication of notability. --  Phantom Steve  ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 17:46, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I put a prod on this, which was removed with the message contest deletion because the person is notable in the edit summary. I placed the PROD originally, as the only reliable reference I could find was the staff listing of the place where he currently works - which I added. All the other hits on a Google search were wiki links. The creator of the page the editor who removed the PROD failed to leave a message on the discussion page explaining why this musician is notable. --  Phantom Steve  ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 17:50, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - This article should be kept as a stub. Musician has credits as violinist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as his own recordings and compositions. I have added a partial discography to the article. He is notable as a world class violinist, and he has also composed and recorded his own works. More research is required to expand this article, but the musician is notable and article should be kept as a stub until it can be expanded. Mcharg (talk) 21:54, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No indication of notability, Willison is barely mentioned in cited sources. Fails the criteria. --Vejvančický (talk) 05:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. Created by User:Joshuawillison, an editor with little more than this on his contribution plate, and an obvious relative. I haven't investigated notability, but if he does meet that per all of the claims in the article, etc., then a possible keep as stub. Softlavender (talk) 20:20, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
