I could find Rantucci in lists of performers, sometimes with a bare mention of listing what instrument he was playing (he seems to have also played the mandolin), and I found his name dropped in a list of people someone studies under, but I did not find sources that offered sustained, indepth coverage of his actions.

• Delete per the requirements of both WP:NMUSICIAN and WP:NACADEMIC. As a musician, it appears that he is the namesake of an annual guitar competition, but that event receives little reliable coverage in its own right and is only visible in its own promotions and occasionally in the personal pages of participants. As an academic he was mentioned very briefly in an article about the history of his university (already cited in this WP article), and his influence on students was mentioned in an obituary, and even the obituary talks much more about the students:[1]. I'm sure he was a wonderful teacher but there's just not enough to justify an encyclopedia article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:44, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. My searches in ProQuest, Newspapers.com, etc. turned up the occasional passing mention, but nothing more. I could find nothing that would qualify as significant coverage for purposes of the GNG, and there's no indication that he meets WP:NMUSIC, WP:NPROF, or any other relevant SNG. I agree with Doomsdayer520: while I'm sure Rantucci made a difference in the lives of those around him, he doesn't seem to satisfy our notability criteria.
