His compositions for guitar are performed by guitarists all around the world, even by John Williams (guitarist) (ref. [1]) (Put another way: If Andrew York is deleted, all articles in [2] need to be deleted.)
• Weak Delete This article has some serious POV issues, and probably should be merged into "Los Angeles Guitar Quartet." However, I really don't see a consensus forming here, so this may have to be relisted. Diez2 21:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached
