I believe the subject fails WP:BIO, but isn't quite CSD A7 material since the Mapa Mundi section tries to claim some notability. Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 07:10, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - reasonably notable historically, economically and as conductor - references include http://community.sfsymphony.org/profile/CarlAndrewWiener Opbeith (talk) 00:12, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt Bruno Turner is significant as a businessperson, but as a musicologist, broadcaster and choral conductor it's hard to think of any British figure who was more significant, particularly in relation to Iberian renaissance music, during the 1970s-1990s. The biographical material about the wallcoverings is included in Companion to Medieval and Renaissance Music By Tess Knighton, David Fallows but Bruno Turner's name usually turns up in relation to debates about choral performance practice. In other words his notability is in 2 sections the article doesn't cover In ictu oculi (talk) 08:13, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. Bruno Turner is a very notable musicologist in the relatively small field of Early music, click the scholar search above. He is also very notable as a conductor in that genre, having led the Pro Cantione Antiqua. They have recorded 20 albums on notable classical labels, this alone passes WP:MUSICBIO with flying colors. I would encourage the nominator to see WP:BEFORE, #9 in particular. Wine Guy~Talk 09:58, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
