This appears to be an autobiography – the creator has no edit to any other page – and to suffer from most of the problems we are used to seeing in such pages. I can't see that this person is notable by our standards: he's conducted some light opera, some apparently minor regional orchestras, the interval music at a football match, but I see no indication of the major achievements that would justify our having a page about him. Nor do I see any substantial coverage of his work: he gets about ten mentions on Scholar, about thirteen on GBooks, and one on JSTOR. None that I can see have any in-depth coverage of his work, his abilities or his achievements – the best I've come up with is "Steven Byess keeps the opera moving along nicely, but every so often the tempo drops for a measure or two in an odd place". That's not enough to build an article on. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:13, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
