Fails WP:NBIO. Interviews are not reliable sources. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 05:32, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The article references are not usable because they don't specify enough details to find the actual sources. I did find this book with a significant mention of November. Gab4gab (talk) 13:52, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

keep. Sigh. [1]. This is exactly the sort of article we should have. So tiresome to have to defend blameless articles against ill-researched deletion attempts. --Tagishsimon (talk) 15:25, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. @GeoffreyT2000: - you really need to read WP:BEFORE. Exemplo347 (talk) 16:43, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I've upgraded a couple of the refs and left a note on the creating editor's talk page to suggest that they upgrade the rest. Appears clearly notable as a pioneer of minimalist music - appears in several books in Gbooks. PamD 18:25, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hae now upgraded the other refs as the creating editor found it too difficult: they include Time Out and The Wire. Clearly a notable, if somewhat obscure, character. PamD 09:23, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I put the article, and thank you to those who have supported keeping it. Though Dennis Johnson isn't a 'famous' person I believe he deserves credit for his contribution in the development of minimal music. Musicologist Kyle Gann (who is an expert in this field) thought it worthy of spending a great deal of time to let the music be known. Luciferfan (talk) 20:20, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
