The result was Speedy Keep. At first I thought this was a joke. Exceedingly important figure in music history; see the early history of opera. Can also consider it a WP:SNOWBALL close. Antandrus (talk) 05:31, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG. Umair Aj (talk) 18:10, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: the page notes that he's the author of the first ever opera, which the main page Dafne also claims. This page adds a little more biographical detail. No doubt it could use expanding but this certainly seems notable. Any more detail on why you think it fails the guidelines? Mortee (talk) 21:44, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per both above. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:51, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article satisfies WP:BASIC per citations above and Carter, Tim (1985). "Music and Patronage in Late Sixteenth-Century Florence: The Case of Jacopo Corsi (1561-1602)". I Tatti Studies in the Italian Renaissance. 1. University of Chicago Press: 57–104. doi:10.2307/4603641. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 16:45, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, even if it is always a stub, I agree that the individual has made a lasting impact and satisfies notability for biographies at the very least. Smmurphy^(Talk) 21:08, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
