Searching for this person's name yields a single mention of a faculty position. Possible vanity page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justin Hirsh (talk • contribs)

• Delete, non-notable. The author's name does not suggest vanity, but keep in mind vanity does not just mean "written by the subject". Keep, which I was about to say before. Royboycrashfan 00:49, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep. Notable classical musician with international touring/recital record. Principal bass with notable symphony orchestra as well as solo/small group performing career. At least as worthy of inclusion as Bulbasaur. He's also listed as notable in the often-edited double bass article, which signals that editors who actually know something about the relevant music find him notable.

• Comment I got a lot more than [one ghit. Of course, I'm not sure this guy is notable even so... --Deville (Talk) 00:57, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Notable classical musician, if he were part of a pop, metal, or rap group of similar fame there would be no question about deleting. That said, I have no idea where the Bulbasaur comparison comes in... maybe a private joke for those more familiar with Mr. Robinson. Definitely keep.

• Strong Keep I know I don't have one of your fancy-pants usernames, but I am a double bassist and probably know more about this than most of you guys. Hal Robinson is very notable, and is certainly a legend in the bass world. If anything, this article could use some serious expansion. 24.18.102.215 04:27, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• By all means, clean it up! T K E 05:32, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
