I have started the process of discussion in regards to deletion for this page with the understanding that I have no personal connection or agenda to this subject. I do believe strongly that the subject however meets no requirements for inclusion based on the Notability of Living Persons (Music) and the article itself is poorly sourced with original research and linked to primary sources provided by the subject itself from venue engagements. I have tried to find online non-primary sources and notable reasons for inclusions but cannot find any for this subject. The claim to fame meets no requirements stated in Wikipedia's pages for Notability (people) - entertainers or guidelines on musicians, composers, groups, etc. The subject has already been combined to the page "List of Ragtime Composers" [1] and should suffice. maineartists(talk to me) 9:42, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Delete After a thorough attempt at research to confirm the information provided in this subject's article that is not directly linked to its primary source I cannot find any reliable sources for citations. In addition, this subject does not meet any requirements as stated in the criteria for musicians under the notability (music) page WP:MUSBIO. The article itself seems to have been either created by original research: "best known for his ragtime performances on YouTube" or information provided by the subject himself through biographies provided to venue engagements. This subject's only stated claim to fame is: "ragtime performances on YouTube and his ability to sight read sheet music, without having heard the original melody or tune". Consequently, the occupation stated does not even coincide with the subject itself: Programmer and Analyst. Maineartists (talk) 6:53, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Delete as none of this suggests a better solidly notable article yet. SwisterTwister talk 07:13, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
