Peter Jarvis

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A WP:SPA creation. This is not an easy decision, by all accounts he does a good job, but I don't think the subject passes WP:NMUSICIAN. He is mentioned in a few newspaper articles, but I don't really see any in-depth.coverage. The most coverage I really see is a New York Times article that says "The Percussion Symphony is another matter. This mammoth work, conducted from memory by Peter Jarvis, seems to be on its way to becoming a genuine 20th-century warhorse - and with good reason. It is a riotous celebration of rhythm - colorful and even poetic." That's only a few sentences. His television work is minor and I don't believe any of his compositions pass NMUSIC Rusf10 (talk) 19:34, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Another apparent problem. The pic here, and other pictures of Jarvis uploaded to WikiCommons by User:Pageedit123, are all clearly marked as being by different photographers, yet are also all claimed by User:Pageedit123 as his/her own work. This makes it extremely doubtful to me that they are in fact in the public domain.Smerus (talk) 16:57, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I would have thought that he meets Criterion 5, with multiple recordings as percussionist or conductor on important indie labels, including Naxos, Koch International, Elektra/Nonesuch, CRI, Abkco and maybe some of the others. Davidships (talk) 01:17, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
