Deprodded

I've deprodded the article. A very quick and cursory search revealed these potential sources and hints for further searches:

While providing helpful information about the topic, after digging around, they don't appear to establish notability under WP:MUSICBIO or WP:COMPOSER —Waldhorn (talk) 17:34, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As I say, it was a very quick and cursory search, but even these may be enough for GNG / WP:BASIC. You can test this at AFD if you want, but I stand by my deprodding. --Stfg (talk) 18:22, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notability guidelines such as WP:MUSICBIO are meant to expand upon WP:BASIC and provide a clearer framework for establishing notability in various disciplines. —Waldhorn (talk) 18:35, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They are not, however, intended to supersede them. That would be ridiculous, since it would mean that people with GNG notability could lose their notability because of stricter guidelines, while people with equal GNG notability in other fields without their own guidelines would not. You can stop lecturing me now. --Stfg (talk) 19:58, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The subject doesn't appear to be notable outside of music, at least in my estimation; thus, my PROD. Alternately, GNG doesn't appear to be met; you to think otherwise. An AFD would bring in outside voices, so perhaps I'll give it a spin. Regarding our exchanges, we're having what I believe to be a polite, if terse, WP:DISCUSSION of our differing points of view, which is acceptable behavior on a talk page. —Waldhorn (talk) 20:25, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
