Keep: Profile here in the NY Times [1] and mentions the award/prize won in 1978. I'd say he's notable. Oaktree b (talk) 22:44, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also appears to be featured in this book, but Gbooks blocks it due to copyright reasons in my country [2] Oaktree b (talk) 22:47, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: per Oaktree; a profile in one of the US's largest newspapers is pretty damning to me. Queen of Hearts (talk) 00:53, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. The article is in my opinion poorly written and very poorly cited. But the subject seems notable for their performance career. Needs a serious rewrite, though. Qflib (talk) 18:00, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- solo recital features in the NYTimes is generally enough for classical music features (it also strongly suggests that there would have been much other coverage in the late 1970s in newspapers and magazines that don't have an easily searchable digital archive). Notability at one point in life is notability over the rest of the subject's life. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 01:44, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
