 * Delete Not seeing anything that would pass WP:ANYBIO or WP:MUSICBIO; my searches aren't turning up any significant reliable source coverage of the subject. PohranicniStraze (talk) 23:59, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Needs discussion of RebeccaGreen's additions
 * Delete, per above. I am unable to find evidence that this individual clears any of the applicable notability thresholds. The article was eligible for BLPPROD, which itself says something. Vanamonde (talk) 05:23, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added references. As he is a flute-maker as well as a performer, and has invented a new type of flute, I believe that WP:CREATIVE also applies, and that he meets 2. "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique." RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:19, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Question: how innovative/distinct/novel is the flute he invented?  PizzaMan  ♨♨♨  08:19, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:CREATIVE. What type of flute did he invent? "SquareONE" flute seems to be a brand name for his company. And simply being a flute maker doesn't seem indicate notability since most of List of flute makers don't have pages. Morgan Ginsberg (talk) 10:57, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment The article says what type of flute he invented: flutes with square tone holes covered by square cups, which is why he uses the name SquareONE for them. Flutes (and other woodwind and brass instruments) generally have round holes and round covers. He is not simply a flute maker - he invented a new type of flute, which he makes.
