Lynn Klock

Sounds like the résumé of a decent but not quite notable enough musician and teacher. The possible claims to notability lack independent sources. Sandstein 21:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC) Withdraw, the sources provided are (barely) enough for notability. Sandstein 05:22, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Notability not proven due to lack of sources. I originally tagged this for speedy deletion, and the article has not markedly improved since. Realkyhick 23:59, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Change to keep. The New York Times review is enough to tilt the balance toward notability. Could still use another source citation or two, though. Realkyhick 03:14, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep "Professor of Saxophone at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst" is a sign of some distinction as a music educator; "Works written for Lynn Klock includd a work by recent Pulitzer Prize winner Lew Spratlan." is a sign of distinction as a musician. I think in combination they are enough. DGG (talk) 04:05, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Perhaps — if those statements could be verified. But there are no sources shown that verify this. Realkyhick 05:02, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Did you even try? First hit = source for both facts. —David Eppstein 05:56, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did. But where are they in the article? Realkyhick 15:04, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If you did run a search, why didn't you add it to the article when you first tagged it as insufficiently sourced? —David Eppstein 15:33, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete per lack of notability.  Being of professor on a topic is not automatically notable and needs more sources to prove notability Corpx 06:20, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I added some more sources to the article, including a (not very positive) New York Times review that (together with another one that I found references to but didn't find an actual copy of) pass WP:MUSIC #1, I think. But I'm more impressed by his list of students, many of whom have gone on to be prominent educators themselves. —David Eppstein 17:03, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:SNOW. MrPrada 01:09, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
