Half of the original article was just a copyright violation, as it was just copied and pasted. Other than that, I cannot find any reliable sources for the subject. Inks.LWC (talk) 18:13, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

---Please see the copyright notice on Buller's page, and you'll notice that it does not violate copyright. As for reliable sources, it would appear that somebody has deleted the two outside sources regarding the Vanguard Voices competition and the Da Camera Young Artist Program page.VonHerzen2011 (talk) 21:04, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Aside from the fact that copying a biography from the subject is likely to be problematic from a neutral point of view situation, the requirement at the subject's bio page requires that the biography not be modified with is incompatible with the licensing in use at Wikipedia and as such, that material cannot be copied here. -- Whpq (talk) 14:46, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

--Regarding the notability criteria: Note #9 for musicians in general (has won major award -- subject has won a major choral competition and several ASCAP awards, hardly minor) and #1 in the notability for composers (has written major work: subject has written several major, well-received works.) Subject has written music performed in all of the major US cities and several European countries. *Do Not DeleteVonHerzen2011 (talk) 21:04, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: No evidence of general notability from independent, reliable sources and doesn't meet any of the specific musician related notability criteria. --Mrmatiko (talk) 18:35, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - I wouldn't consider the competition he won a "major competition". Inks.LWC (talk) 21:53, 15 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - No significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. The awards are not major, but do indicate that the person may be notable in the future.  No prejudice to recreation then so long as it isn't a copy paste of the subject's bio  from his web site. -- Whpq (talk) 14:48, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
