The result was redirect to American Modern Ensemble. This does not preclude a merge, but there's a consensus that this article can't stand on its own. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 17:00, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Non notable and main contributor has a COI claims of being a Pulitzer Prize for Music winner which was removed by an IP after mentioned on talk page is suspicious. Also same IP removed speedy tag. BigDunc Talk 01:23, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - We have all the Pulitzer Prize for Music Winners and he's not on there, so that claim is probably false. However, he is director of the American Modern Ensemble and the interviews, reviews, and broadcasts pages on his website probably show enough RS coverage to keep.  Any sentences that cannot be backed up by an independent source source should be removed.--Michael WhiteT&middot;C 12:01, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - He's notable enough. 207.237.28.179 has just added several of references which check out. I am excluding, of course, those that are referenced to his blog. Voceditenore (talk) 13:43, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to American Modern Ensemble, the organization that he created. I'm not seeing significant coverage in reliable sources. Reliable sources mention him, but the significant coverage that he has received has been in his own blog. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 15:47, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to American Modern Ensemble per lack of significant coverage in sources outside of his blog. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  19:37, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete/Redirect Per nom and previous two users.--CyberGhostface (talk) 15:25, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
