Non notable and unsourced.Farhikht (talk) 13:12, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Unsourced, yes. Utterly lacking notability? Not so sure. Pathetically, the first RS-seeming google-search result [1] has text copied from this Wikipedia article itself (from what I can tell by the article's edit history and from the date of the event described at that link.) Pretty cheesy for Harvard, not to mention inauspicious for clearing the notability bar. A lot of the other hits are echoes, sites where might one ask to be listed as a favor (or pay to be listed).

But then there's this [2] on a Washington Post page, though it's admittedly a blog. There's a short piece on him in a Sri Lankan newspaper [3]. And one from the Tehran Times: [4]. Very low notability in English, and I don't see any article for him in French; certainly if it's kept, the blurb/resume tone should be remedied, and the unverifiable content removed. Art brings out the inclusionist in me, so I recuse myself. Yakushima (talk) 14:15, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No substantial coverage. Fails WP:MUSICBIO greatly. Christopher Connor (talk) 00:41, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
