Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSIC. The only source (Grove Music) that it contains is a database/dictionary of musicians, therefore it is not significant coverage (see also WP:NOT#DICT). P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 16:34, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Without looking, The Grove is the Bible for musicians. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:41, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I found this, and this. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:16, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I am looking for a stronger source, but available sources indicate that the subject was honoured as a People's Artist of Russia in 2001 (e.g. mentioned in this concert promotion, and this one in English) which would indicate WP:MUSICBIO criterion 7 is met.

I've never heard of him and I say that as a jazz guitarist myself with a very good knowledge of musicians! I wonder if there's more hits in Russian? Well it says "Among foreign musicians with whom Alexey Kuznetsov collaborated were many cult names: Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, Garry Burton, Steve Swallow, Pat Mettini, Herb Ellis, Tutts Thielemans, Rudolf Daszek, Russell Melone, Peter Leach, Oliver Gennon and others." . Now anybody who was good enough to work with those legendary musicians should be notable.† Encyclopædius 20:11, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
