A well-written article about someone who turns out to lack the necessary notability for an article. The only source about Zerr is an obituary in the Catholic Herald, basically a newspaper from his employer (so not independent), and even then this is short, and mentions his music in one sentence.[1] There are no other sources about Zerr, his music, or other aspects of his life; e.g. the book about Henri Leclercq doesn't mention Zerr[2], and neither does the Religious Persecution one[3]. He gets a very passing mention in the Catholic Archives[4] and an equally passing mention in the Caecilia [5]. And that's it.[6] Fram (talk) 09:28, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - although articles like this make me sad to cast this vote. Well-written article, about an interesting historical character. Unfortunately they simply do not meet WP's notably criteria as per WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 01:01, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
