comment Why, pray tell me, would the creator of an article nominate it for deletion? Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 11:52, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Plenty of us on Wikipedia have changed our view on notability as the project itself has evolved. I certainly started articles around the mid-2000s on subjects I don't think are notable now. RobinCarmody (talk) 17:15, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I have just added a citation of his obituary in The Times. An obituary in a major national newspaper has always been held to be sufficient for notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:19, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Qualifies for a Wikipedia article via WP:GNG and lots of sourcing can also be used for WP:BASIC. That includes the obit found by Necrothesp and other sources including:

"The Term 'Musical' " written by Griffiths in The Musical Times
Herbert Griffiths brief biography via the Biographical Dictionary of the Organ
"Herbert Griffiths" biography from Tobias Broeker
His works and archives are held in the Royal College of Music

And that doesn't include what I think could qualify under WP:BASIC. I think with a bit of due diligence and focus, he could have a robust article built around offline sources. Missvain (talk) 21:24, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources such as The Times,and reliable book sources so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:06, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
