Insufficient indication of notability. FamilySearch is user-generated and therefore not usable. The Boston Globe obit appears to be a regular paid-for family obit, not the kind that a paper publishes independently. The other two sources, Guardian and Life, are trivial mentions, not in-depth. I couldn't find anything else on a search. Notability is not inherited. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 14:09, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - probably should be a redirect at the least to Harpsichord (however he is lacking from there, but he should be there) - there's some coverage in - this Routledge book (as well as a coverage I'm unable to assess quality wise (snippets) or brief mentions in - [1][2][3][4][5]. I suspect the subject might be notable via a newspaper archive search (from the 50s-90s - tricky era for online searches) - if someone gives newspaper archives a spin they might find something (both in terms of harpsichord and in terms of other activities around Lexington).

Comment I have added more sources and edited the text. I have so far only searched Newspapers.com and done some googling. It would be well worth checking the sources which Icewhiz found, if someone is able to access hard copies (I don't think they're digitised beyond the snippets on google).

I looked at possible articles to include his name and a link to this article, and they all seem to need some work. "Electric harpsichord" redirects to an 18th century instrument, the Clavecin électrique, which does not seem sensible to me at all (but I don't know enough to start another article about 20thC electric harpsichords). The Baldwin article does not mention harpsichords at all. Electric piano has a section on Other electric keyboard instruments, which mentions a different Baldwin electric harpsichord, designed by a different person, but not this one. The article Because (Beatles song) mentions the electric harpsichord several times, and in the list of Personnel, names the Baldwin electric harpsichord, linking Baldwin to the article I mentioned above, with no mention of harpsichords, and "electric harpsichord" to the electric piano article .... I guess at the moment I would say Keep, because merging anywhere is going to take a lot of work. I will try to do some more searching, though. (Perhaps Eric Herz, his co-designer on at least some of the harpsichords, should also have an article - I spotted some coverage of him while searching for Warner.)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep. RebeccaGreen has done a great job in adding sources and a merge to harpsichord would be as absurd as merging Colonel Sanders to chicken. Mccapra (talk) 22:39, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
