I am not entirely convinced by the subject's notability. He does not seem to be the author of any notable books, or to be that notable as a musician and although he does seem to secure a living as a lecturer, I am not 100% sure that his fame is worthy of an encyclopedic article. IMHO, the question of this article deletion deserves to be asked, although I do not have a definite opinion. The article looks a lot like self-promotion (see its talk page) Jean-Jacques Georges (talk) 13:17, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Following the delation debate on the French-speaking Wikipedia : self-promotion of an unknown musician, creator of a music catalog and writer of a book, The Future of Music: Manifesto for the Digital Music Revolution, not really a bestseller (ranked 157,610 at Amazon) and not cited. I add that Gerd Leonhard is not cited either. Patrick Rogel (talk) 16:05, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Fails WP:MUSIC, WP:AUTHOR, WP:CREATIVE, WP:GNG, etc. Qworty (talk) 08:01, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Convinced by my own searches. Same opinion as Qworty. Insufficient notability. Jean-Jacques Georges (talk) 16:54, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
