Leopold Zerr

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A well-written article about someone who turns out to lack the necessary notability for an article. The only source about Zerr is an obituary in the Catholic Herald, basically a newspaper from his employer (so not independent), and even then this is short, and mentions his music in one sentence. There are no other sources about Zerr, his music, or other aspects of his life; e.g. the book about Henri Leclercq doesn't mention Zerr, and neither does the Religious Persecution one. He gets a very passing mention in the Catholic Archives and an equally passing mention in the Caecilia. And that's it. Fram (talk) 09:28, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - although articles like this make me sad to cast this vote. Well-written article, about an interesting historical character. Unfortunately they simply do not meet WP's notably criteria as per WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO.  Onel 5969  TT me 01:01, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
