Apparently just another vanity article. References include Wikipedia, self published sources, web pages that do not mention his name at all or do not exist. The first footnote that seems to reference a printed work is merely used to justify a peacock term. - Andrei (talk) 12:09, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable composer. References are, as the nom said, self published or non notable sources. Just because someone was nominated for an award doesn't mean they are notable, as anyone can be nominated. Vacation^nine 13:43, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~Neutral - the footnotes don't inspire much confidence that this individual has received any non-trivial coverage in independent sources. The article on his wife Liana Alexandra should also be looked into for possible deletion. - Biruitorul ^Talk 16:12, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Oppose the deletion, because the article is very objective - based on real data, relevant listed.--213.233.103.185 (talk) 14:06, 27 November 2012 (UTC)--213.233.103.185 (talk) 11:21, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - based on the (brief) mention in Grove, I'm now neutral as to deletion. I've stubbed the article and based almost all of it on Grove. It could use some expansion, but hopefully from users other than Serbannichifor, Snichifor and IPs standing in for those two. And again, the same process should happen for the article on his wife, Liana Alexandra. - Biruitorul ^Talk 22:37, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- Grove music is a substantial encyclopedia also based on the existence of reliable third-party evidence. Except for the articles on composers before 1400 (where any mention is sufficient for an article), the criteria for inclusion are substantially higher than WP's. The book G. Tartler: Melopoetica (Bucharest, 1984) which substantially deals with his work should be added to the article. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 00:31, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Grove doesn't do vanity articles. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:10, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If he's notable enough for Grove, he's notable enough to be here. — sparklism ^hey! 14:55, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Grove and an international award should be enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 14:33, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
