• Speedy delete sources cited all pertain to his Robot Orchestra idea, not him specifically. He doesn't meet Wikipedia's guidelines for notability. Dreamanderson ( talk) 14:39, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete — fails to meet our general notability guidelines. Article claims subject is a musician but subject doesn’t appear to be a notable musician. Celestina007 ( talk) 01:40, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply
• Keep — There are many reliable and in-depth sources available about the subject. Olaproven ( talk) 05:18, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Redirect to Kadenze as the RS cited are about it rather than him. The sources that are about him are student news/small time. This person is not independently notable. ShelbyMarion ( talk) 12:54, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply
• Redirect - he's not notable per WP:PROF, and the sourcing is less than stellar. It would do much better as a stub, if it were to be kept. Bearian ( talk) 00:38, 30 April 2020 (UTC) I removed two duplicative, unreliable sources (Washington Times and Metro New York). I won't oppose a keep, but I don't see an end in sight after all the unreliable sources are removed. Please ping me if you find better sources. Bearian ( talk) 00:42, 30 April 2020 (UTC) reply
