I see two claims for notability- (1) His students have performed in many famous performances, (2) He's taught in many colleges. None of them satisfy WP:PROF. ƒ(Δ)² 16:59, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

 * weak delete -- many of the news articles mentioning him are about other cellists who, after studying with him, seem to have made it big (or at least bigger than Aaron himself). But under "not inherited", this doesn't really support keeping the article.  Now, it seems there are quite a few such students, so perhaps he could be taken to have had an influence.  But it's not the approach we usually take.  Nomoskedasticity (talk) 12:19, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * weak Keep--  Who exactly are his students? Having really notable students is a reason for notability, especially in such a personal field as performance.    DGG ( talk ) 19:46, 27 September 2009 (UTC)   changed from Keep.  DGG ( talk ) 04:42, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps I overdid it with the words "made it big" -- the results in gnews were basically announcements regarding concerts by people who had studied with him. I was simply trying to suggest a path to perceiving notability -- not saying that I was convinced it was there (hence the delete vote).  Someone who knows names in the music world would be better placed to judge in regard to the people named in those articles.  Nomoskedasticity (talk) 20:53, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
