Justin Miller (barbershop)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not sure if this guy goes as notable or not. Sounds interesting, but is he notable enough for a Wikipedia page? (I put him under the DAB for Justin Miller but was not even sure what to list him as!) Wgolf (talk) 16:17, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment The rationale for having this page is based on the existing precedent for Greg Lyne who also served as one of the Music Directors of the Masters of Harmony. Upon approval of this new article, we will link this new article to that article. Please let us know if there is a better way to disambiguate this entry (such as "barbershop music")Mfreedkin (talk) 17:00, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment-well not sure how many barbershop quartets get a page on Wikipedia. Wgolf (talk) 17:03, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Comment- Actually, there are many articles about barbershop quartets and barbershop choruses. Please see: Vocal Majority, Ambassadors of Harmony, Thoroughbreds (chorus), Toronto Northern Lights, Masters of Harmony, Westminster Chorus, and List of Barbershop Harmony Society quartet champions for a list of every barbershop quartet champion since 1939.Mfreedkin (talk) 04:42, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete: All very well and good, but the guy just doesn't meet the GNG. Wikipedia is not for promotion of barbershop chorus leaders.  (No objection to a redirect as per MelanieN)  Nha Trang  Allons! 16:53, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect' to Masters of Harmony, where he is already mentioned. He actually directs two choruses, but Masters of Harmony seems to be the more notable of the two. This article's main claim to notability is that the choruses he led won gold medals in competition - but that reflects on their notability, not his. BTW there is no reason why barbershop quartets and choruses can't be notable; the same standard of GNG applies to them as to any other musical group. --MelanieN (talk) 21:12, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * BTW in response to Mfreedkin's note about Greg Lyne: they are not comparable. Greg Lyne has had a far more notable career than Justin Miller. Miller's main claim to fame is directing these local choruses; Lyne has an international reputation, and his direction of Masters of Harmony is purely incidental to his career. --MelanieN (talk) 21:16, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
