He seems notable and somewhat known in his field but my searches found no further good sources aside from this, this and this so I hope further improvement can be made if possible. SwisterTwister  talk  06:34, 22 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep - While on the obscure side, it looks like he's been mentioned enough to be somewhat notable, but I feel on the fence about this. And that the article looks mediocre right now is a problem, but that's something that wouldn't be hard to fix. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 09:15, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep (there was no need to copy the article here--the heading of this discussion gives the link) . Multiple mainstream reviewed recordings, reviewed performances. The original version was not persuasive, and it's good you were able to find the material. The references need to be properly integrated into the article, see WP:REFBEGIN, but the improper formatting is not a reason for deletion. And one other thing needs to be done: remove any adjectives of praise that cannot be directly referenced from a reliable source.  DGG ( talk ) 16:42, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
