Non-notable composer whose article would have been deleted back in 2007 if it weren't that his music is so boring all parties involved forgot about the article. Incarnatus (talk) 20:04, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep One of his compositions was reviewed by the New Yorks Times on January 10, 2007. Google News Archive confirms that several orchestras have performed his works. Four notable performers hsve recorded his works. Nominator's personal opinion that his music is "boring" is utterly irrelevant and will be disregarded, I am sure, by the closing administrator.

When major publications write about a composer and review his work, when notable orchestras perform and notable artists record his work, then that composer is notable. Such is the case here. I found a second New York Times review November 13, 2002. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 20:37, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've added references to his Allmusic biography and a review in The Guardian which I view as sufficient indication of notability in his field. AllyD (talk) 20:52, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
