The result was delete. From the content, it seems like he ought to be notable, but as always the proof is in the sourcing. Happy to restore as a draft if there is an editor who wants to work on that. RL0919 (talk) 17:04, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

BLP that is only sourced to an interview and a non-independent source. Outside of that sourcing, I cannot seem to find any indication of notability as far as sourcing goes. This article is filled with very intricate personal detail that leads me to believe that it was written by someone with deep connections to the subject. Although not a notability issue, I would like to point out that the article does not have a lead either. 🌀 Locomotive207 - talk  🌀  14:06, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I took a brief look for now, restored the lead that was there at some time, formatted the infobox and the long list of positions. If he received the awards presented, and had an award named after him, he is probably notable enough, ut it needs to be sourced, of course, which I can't even try at the moment. This article was up for deletion before, in 2013, and obviously kept. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:30, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Having looked a bit deeper: he is certainly notable in the world of double bassist, judging by articles he wrote, pupils referring to him, interviews. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:48, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Not sourced. Not notable. Author seems to have a close connection to person. Grimes2 (talk) 09:16, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
