IMHO this conflicts with the guidelines in WP:Autobiography, and it is written like an ad. See rev history and name of first author. But since it asserts notability, consensus must be reached. Shoombooly (talk) 01:01, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete It's written like an ad, indeed. I suspect it's a copy-and-paste from somewhere else. It is somewhat notable, though, so maybe with some cleaning up and referencing it would be worth keeping. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 01:15, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Notablity asserted but not proven. One new reference shows existence but not notability. Thetrick (talk) 01:28, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. The reviews in reliable sources (embedded in the article rather than listed under the references heading) such as Tagesspiegel Berlin are probably enough to demonstrate notability, but since the search function at http://www.tagesspiegel.de/suche/ only covers articles since 1996, I can't verify the 1988 review of his performance. I found two references to him at the Google News archive and none at various Chicago-area news sites such as Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times or PioneerLocal.com. I would expect to see more coverage of a professional concert violinist, but there may be a good reason for the relatively small number of references. --Eastmain (talk) 01:42, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Not yet notable. If he's as good as he says he is, he will yet deserve an article, written by another editor. As it stands, it seems a strong case of self-promotion via a single-purpose account. (By the way, I hope you don't mind that I fixed your link to WP:AUTO, Shoombooly.)--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 17:23, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment Of course I don't mind, as long as this means you will from now on fix ALL my mistakes for me? :P Shoombooly (talk) 18:03, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
