Notability. This organist did not make any impact in the music world, neither as a composer nor as performer. Not every professional musician deserves an article. Karljoos (talk) 22:27, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - having a hymn listed in a major hymnal, such as in Hymns Ancient and Modern, ranks as notable, the classical version of a top 10 hit. Bearian (talk) 04:48, 21 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - he has biographical entries in British Musical Biography: James D Brown, Who was Who: Volumes 3 and 4, Cathedral organists past and present: John Ebenezer West Andrewrabbott (talk) 09:24, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Bearian, per coverage mentioned by Andrewrabbott and obituary in The Musical Times.-- Beloved Freak  14:25, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep based on the sources listed.Edward321 (talk) 05:01, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep the time to look for sources is before nominating for deletion--then you can add them to the article, and simultaneously improve Wikipedia and save other people the work of debating the matter.    DGG ( talk ) 04:18, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
