Delete. Five separate articles about musical theories theorized by a single musician, whose only discernible evidence of usage is in that musician's own work -- there's no evidence shown that any of them has ever been adopted in anybody else's work, and one of the articles in fact entirely fails to explain the theory at all, simply asserting that it exists, the end. So these things can certainly be mentioned in He Xuntian's main BLP, but none of the articles does anything to demonstrate why standalone articles would be needed about each theory separately from the main article about him.

Delete. The term "musical dimensions" is pretty common and definitely not attributed to He Xuntian. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:17, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The theory principle has been expression clearly in References (The Compositional Concept and Theory of He Xuntian and Thus have I heard He Xuntian,etc.).Ytbr (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:29, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Those references are about He Xuntian and his work, and thus fail to demonstrate that these are independently notable as standalone concepts separate from him. Bearcat (talk) 16:08, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
