Dandy Desmond[edit]

Non-notable per WP:MUSICBIO, unreferenced, claims of notability appear to be a good-natured hoax. Prod contested by anonymous WP:SPA. Per Ardua (talk) 10:13, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Well, Desmond is quite a phenomena, these days here in Thuringia. Just two years ago they discovered manuscripts in a bookstore in India and brought them here to do some analysis at the universities library (ThULB). They are authentic and currently there is a lot of research in progress about the composer - publications will follow and there has already been a small conference just a year ago with some contributions about Desmond and his work - which is by the way astonishing. Anyways his contributions where (luckily "where") lost for half a century though he had no influence and is probably not worth mentioning in wikipedia at all. One could give the topic one or two years and then consider opening the article again or keep it and wait for further publications about the topic. I'm not sure. --91.43.126.78 (talk) 12:57, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
