Autobiographical article with little evidence of meeting WP:MUSIC. There is lots of namedropping. There are a few awards from organizations that are mostly non-notable. There is nothing resembling a reliable secondary source. Article was previously deprodded so I'm bringing it here. B (talk) 21:01, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Has released on some notable indie labels (Sargasso Records, Innova Recordings). Mentioned in San Francisco Classical Voice and quoted in the New York Times. -- Theodolite ➹ 21:34, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep There's a WP:COI here (and I've reinstated the notice previously removed from the article) but as Theodoloite says the subject does seem to have just about enough notability despite operating in a field with little media attention. AllyD (talk) 23:15, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep, per Theodolite and AllyD. A borderline case but I think there's enough hint of notability. The article could do with a major rewrite, though, and preferably not by the man himself. --Deskford (talk) 20:44, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
