Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a composer, not properly sourced as passing WP:NMUSIC. There are things stated here that would be acceptable notability claims if they were referenced properly, but the article is entirely unsourced, and there's nothing stated here that would constitute an "inherent" notability freebie in the absence of any WP:GNG-worthy sourcing. And the article has existed since 2006 without ever having any proper sources added to it except for inappropriate offsite links to the self-published websites of organizations named in the body text, which had to be stripped as WP:ELNO violations — so it's time to source it properly or lose it. There's also a past prod in the edit history, which got the article deleted and then subsequently restored on an undeletion request by somebody with a username highly suggestive of being the article subject, which in turn raises conflict of interest issues. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which people are entitled to have articles just because they exist; notability has to be demonstrated by third-party reliable source coverage analyzing the significance of their work, not just by verifying that their work exists. (For example, competitions only become notability claims to the extent that they can be referenced to media coverage in order to establish that the competition is seen as a significant one by the media, and do not become notability claims if they're primary sourced to the competition's own self-published content about itself.)

 * Delete - I failed to uncover enough evidence that the subject meets GNG. There are a few website matches, that appear to republish a bio provided by the subject. He gets a few lines in "A Laboratory for Sound" by Kimberley Marshall, in American Organist Magazine. Oct2020, Vol. 54 Issue 10, p54-56. "'Urban Wind' and the John Weinzweig Award" in Canadian Winds / Vents Canadiens. Spring2008, Vol. 6 Issue 2, p55 probably counts as one source towards meeting GNG, but I couldn'd find another. Please ping me if good sources are identified. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:04, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
