Robert Savage (composer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I really, really hate to do this, but I don't think he passes WP:NMUSIC or WP:GNG. I have checked Google, GBooks, Gnews, JSTOR, and Highbeam and the best I can find is hisNew York Public Library archive listing. There is a blog post, and a trivial mention here but nothing else of depth.

On top of those checks, I spent twenty minutes picking through Newspapers.com looking for any mention of a Robert Savage and found no articles mentioning him from 1950-2017.

In the absence of any other reliable sources, I'm not sure that simply being archived at the NYPL is enough to presume notability. I am happy to withdraw if the consensus is that it would grant a presumption of notability (or obviously if sources are found). &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 13:08, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Delete, for the reasons the nominator mentions, and because its persistent orphan status edges it into a memorial. It seems like his visibility (and presence at NYPL) is tied up mainly with his promise as an artist, the nature of his life being cut short by AIDS, and the tremendous work that was done to document lives that were lost to the disease. But these do not seem to be the same thing as notability in the context of Wikipedia. (And don't feel bad.) KR26740 (talk) 17:04, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Doesn't meet WP:NOTABLE in any way. --Smerus (talk) 09:15, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
