There seems to be only one source available and it is merely mentions the subject. Fails WP:BASIC. - MrX 03:55, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect – to Hymn to Liberty. His major claim to fame seems to be that he composed the version of the Greek national anthem that is still played by military bands. I added a sentence to that effect to Hymn to Liberty, with this cite. He's mentioned once in the Greek Wikipedia, in the national anthem article, and most Greek cites on the web seem to be based on that passage. However, the information in this article must have come from somewhere. Perhaps an offline source in Greek. If we leave it as a redirect, it could be revived if someone discovers that source. – Margin1522 (talk) 16:39, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment I'll admit to a bias toward keep regarding historical composers, but there is no entry for this person at the Greek Wikipedia, and even searching under the Greek alphabetical format (Μαργαρίτης Καστέλλης) very little turns up. I'm not !voting delete at this time, because my searching skills in Greek are surely laughable.   78.26   (spin me / revolutions) 18:18, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Redirect - reasonable solution to the current lack of verifiability but possible notability. pinging who accepted this at AfC for input. --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:21, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep is my current inclination. I found a source for all the basic biographical information, which I've added to the article. Another current reference in the article (Studies in Eastern Chant. Oxford University Press, p. 205) describes him as a "master" of military music. The doctoral thesis on him does exist (I've added a ref for that). Given that there may be quite a lot more about him in Greek-language print sources, I would be very reluctant to delete this or even redirect it. Voceditenore (talk) 11:59, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - there's no entry for him in Grove, but still, the sources provided by are enough for notability, especially as there's a doctoral thesis. --Stfg (talk) 11:49, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep – per recently added sources. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:17, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - notability established by Voceditenore. Yay!    78.26   (spin me / revolutions) 14:30, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
