No evidence of notability. Sources in the article are his own site and own listing published by a society of composers. No independent sourcing, and searches turned up nothing. Fails WP:GNG.

Comment - not sure that membership in that organization makes one notable. Seems more like a union than the RPS.

First two sentences of the RPS
History section would suggest an identical genesis to the
Norwegian Composer Association, and aint union/society fruit from the same tree?

No, unions and societies are definitely not from the same tree. Perhaps someday in the future, if they become selective, the NCA might be grounds for notability, but right now it appears to be simply something that anyone can join.

Certainly true in this case, given Futrell is Californian.

That said - anyone considering deleting Futrell as "not Notable" should take the time to hear
this, (
National Library of Norway ref added).

Delete. His Papua Lingua is a beautiful composition, but doing some searching unfortunately does not reveal sources that would make him pass
WP:BASIC, nor does this young composer yet meet the subject specific guideline

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Babymissfortune 03:35, 5 December 2017 (UTC)reply
Delete - lack of sufficient
reliable source coverage to establish notability under
general notability guidelines, and it doesn't look like he meets notability for
composers either, unless some of his compositions can be shown to be notable in their own right.
