Keep international touring = passes WP:MUSIC. Nomination is demonstrably false, leaving me with no motivation to delete, but "passes usual notability standards" to keep, making keep a much stronger argument. Wily D 22:08, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. He hasn't attracted much mainstream coverage, but the international appearances are verifiable. I found an announcement from the University of Ulster and this listing in the Belfast Telegraph that confirmed he performed in Northern Ireland. Allmusic has a listing for his 2008 album but not for the 2005 album, but no biography. Classical Guitar Magazine has a web site but not the full text, so that verifying the quote from that magazine would require access to a printed copy of the issue in question. This reference shows that he has also performed in Tasmania, another state in Australia. This search shows that he performed with an orchestra in Perth, West Australia. I think the international appearances are enough to pass WP:MUSIC and demonstrate notability, despite the absence of reviews. -- Eastmain (talk) 23:47, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
