One of a handful of people associated with Virginia Theological Seminary whose article was created today; as with most of the others I'm not sure the subject of this one meets the notability requirement. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 02:19, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Uncertain The question here is whether he is notable for his work in church music, or as a teacher of it. I'm not prepared to say either way at the moment.DGG (talk) 04:15, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * weak Delete. The music may make him notable, but all his published works are from non-notable tiny/specialist publishers, and the committee he was on seems also non-notable. The music definatly got printed, but garnered little or no notice outside his own church. As a musician, i cdon't think he meets WP:MUSIC, as an acedemic doesn't meet WP:PROF, and overall doesn't meet WP:BIO. Weak because someone more knowledgable about church music may have greater insight.Yobmod (talk) 13:31, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Pass neither WP:PROF nor WP:BIO. In addition to the points made by Yobmod, independent news coverage seems to be nonexistent. --Eric Yurken (talk) 18:28, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
