[edit]

Non-notable, which hasn't been remedied after almost two months of a notability tag. The only established attempts at notability are invalid: the competition for Young Composers fails #4 for composers and lyricists at WP:Music, and single performances don't fall under any of the notability criteria.

Keep I found two reliable sources; The Guardian and BBC News seem sufficient. I'll put them into the article. Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 05:01, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not seem to be notable enough for an encyclopedia. We can't list every musician that has had a few performances and gotten their name in the paper. Beeblbrox (talk) 05:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: However, if the person in question has won a competition arranged by two very established institutions I'd say they're notable. Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 05:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Review WP:MUSIC regarding notability standards. Both of the sources you posted are trivial coverage, seeing as Mr. Rust gets little more than a sentence in either one. The competition he won is impressive, but non-notable under WP policy because it's established specifically for young composers. SingCal 06:04, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He gets a sentence, but in the Guardian review he apparently got a positive reaction from an esteemed composer. ("The third winning piece in the senior (16-18) section, Paraprosdokia by Joel Rust, is for a more modest woodwind and brass sextet, but it made no less impact. Wiegold was bowled over by the work's "brilliant" opening.") Personally I think that satisfies notability, but that's the inclusionist in me.
