This article does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Geoffrey Pope has not been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works and does not meet any of the criteria for composers and lyricists listed at Wikipedia:Notability (music). Furthermore, according to the article, his most notable composition hasn't even been performed yet. Nrswanson (talk) 02:26, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Source his awards. Deletion not required. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 05:10, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. None of the awards listed are in themselves notable and would not fulfill the requirements given in Wikipedia:Notability (music). If you actually read the awards given they are all pretty much related to collegiate programs and/or non-professional ensembles. Therefore those awards really don't make him notable. Also there are no reliable independent sources given even substantiating any of this articles information.Nrswanson (talk) 10:33, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Fails WP:Music criteria. Sources show work and awards are all at the university scholarship level. He appears to be a talented student composer -- but should reapply after he becomes an accomplished professional. — CactusWriter | ^needles 18:39, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
