no evidence for notability, He does not derive notability for the names he placed on a violin. DGG ( talk ) 05:21, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Maybe delete for now as searches here (same links listed), here (nothing that appears useful), here and here but nothing solid, significant and notable. I would've suggested moving elsewhere to save it but there's no target. SwisterTwister talk 22:17, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep There are 3 RS: the Ventura County Star, the Independent, and the Strad. The article is stubbish, but the sources are solid. I added a bit more info, but did not exhaust the possibilities. LaMona (talk) 18:23, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I consider The Strad an acceptable reference. I do no think the same of the two very local papers, the Santa Barbara Strade and the Ventura County Star--those are prime examples of local newspapers giving prominence to local people. DGG ( talk ) 05:07, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep- I accepted this at AfC, for the reason above- there are 3 good sources, and I believed, and still believe, that is enough to pass WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:11, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep To the three independent, reliable, secondary sources already mentioned we can add: Sack, Joe (13 August 2006). "Cape Town's school for Stradivariuses popularises the fine art of violin-making". The Sunday Indpendent. Johannesburg. Retrieved 10 June 2015 – via HighBeam Research. ((cite news)): Unknown parameter |subscription= ignored (|url-access= suggested) (help) For those of you who don't have access, the main focus of the article is the Cape Town School of Violin and Bow Making, of which Lisus was the founder and co-director. The middle seven (short) paragraphs, 255 words, are about Lisus. Worldbruce (talk) 07:00, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, Lisus' official website reproduces this article about him: Heckl, Gudrun (9 November 2003). "He's the sultan of string". The Sunday Times. Johannesburg. I haven't linked to it because I don't know if it's a true copy or if it's reproduced with permission. Someone with access to LexisNexis should be able to pull up a faithful and legal copy.
