 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment I have found some coverage, and will add it. The article needs editing and reshaping into the usual sections. Searching for "Samuel Hazo", I found many sources for his father, Samuel John Hazo, so will add those to his article. I presume that this Samuel Hazo gets the shorter version of his name as the article title because the article was started before his father's article, otherwise I can't see why the unquestionably notable father's article is not called Samuel Hazo and the son's Samuel Robert Hazo.

 * Weak keep - no cited sources so does not meet WP:BASIC, "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" - does not meet WP:COMPOSER, National Band Association awards are not a major music competition - "over four million hits on YouTube" is not "performed in a notable theatre" and does not establish notability - to offset that, his works have been performed by Hartford Symphony Orchestra and VOCE Singers, the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra, the Birmingham Symphonic Winds, the Klavier Wind Project and at the London Summer Olympic Games - notability is questionable, but he seems to be an established composer - conclusion: a weak keep - Epinoia (talk) 04:08, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep as the article has been significantly improved with the addition of many new references to reliable sources coverage so there is no longer an imperative for deletion and the article can be kept Atlantic306 (talk) 22:04, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Just realised that I did not actually state keep! He meets WP:GNG - more work might show that he meets WP:COMPOSER, but I don't have the time to spend on that (or on improving the article, which could certainly use some editing). RebeccaGreen (talk) 09:43, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Withdraw (as nominator). Thank you for improving the article, and I'm sorry I didn't find the sources. I'll do some editing on the article. Tacyarg (talk) 12:11, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
