 * Delete It’s hard to see how this article has survived for so long after being already flagged for notability. Does not meet WP:GNG. Go4thProsper (talk) 18:22, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep at least tentatively. A Google book search brings up multiple refs but unfortunately they are all snippets. They do demonstrate sustained coverage in multiple reliable independent sources. Whether or not they are in depth I can’t say but given the number I think we should err on the side of caution. Mccapra (talk) 00:01, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * If they are all snippets, then they do not satisfy WP:SIGCOV and, therefore, fails WP:GNG and should be deleted. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:47, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * In the context of Google books, "snippets" refers to the limited amount of material that Google displays for many copyrighted works, not to the significance of the material in total, which can only be definitely assessed with access to the complete work. Jfire (talk) 14:24, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep Here is a full-page newspaper profile. The Modern Brass Band has coverage of him and says that a "detailed biography" is available in Sounding Brass, October 1976, pp. 83–85. Jfire (talk) 17:10, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Better link for Modern Brass Band: . In total this book has at least three pages of content focusing on his life and accomplishments as a conductor, and his entry in the book's index cites 20 pages. This is unambiguously significant coverage. Jfire (talk) 14:31, 7 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete - does not meet notability guidelines Coldupnorth (talk) 11:24, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep in view of the relable sources coverage identified by Jfire in this discussion such as The Manchester Evening News piece, and reliable book sources such as Modern Brass Band and the Sounding Brass source so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:56, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
