Prodded 10 years ago, survived an AFD in 2007 due to arguments WP:ITSIMPORTANT with nobody citing a single source. 10 yeas later, the article is still effectively unrefenrenced and makes on claim that would suggest the subject passes WP:NMUSIC. WP:BEFORE did not find anything but I admit I am not an expert in finding music-themed sources. Can anyone rescue this by finding proper sources?

• Comment There are 506 results for him on Newspapers.com. Some, of course, are simply performance announcements, but there are others which are reviews, feature articles when he was first appointed, etc - certainly many which can provide sources for the information in the article. Probably there will be more reviews in journals, too. I'll try to add some. RebeccaGreen (talk) 08:20, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: This convoluted nomination appears to use the basis of WP:BIO or WP:MUSIC as the reason to delete, but it was never stated. While the seven sources in the article are behind a paywall, it seems to be relatively well-sourced and easily passing WP:GNG. Toddst1 (talk) 14:13, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I have started adding sources and also listing his recordings. While the article was unreferenced at the time of nomination, it clearly stated "He recorded albums for London Records and the Musical Heritage Society." WP:MUSICBIO#5 is "Has released two or more albums on a major record label", so there was a clear statement of notability already in the article. So far, I have found that he released 5 albums on London Records and 2 with the Musical Heritage Society, and that's only up to 1975. The sources I have added so far are from Newspapers.com, but the discography is free to access on WorldCat [1]. RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:25, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep exercising AGF for the multiple paywalled reliable sources coverage which back up criteria 5 of WP:NMUSIC with multiple album releases on a major label, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 19:53, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, per Rebecca's additions --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:00, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Withdraw. Sources have now been added to verify claims made, and argument for passing NMUSIC seems solid. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:51, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
