  • Note from author: Wow, 3 minutes flat from creation to Afd. Out of more than 30 musician articles I've created, I've never had one come across Afd. So okay, have I not provided enough references to at least establish notability? Ghits are about 9900 for specific search of "Gary Farr" pianist. [1]. He is also listed at AMG and Imdb. ♫ Cricket02 19:10, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Congrats on your track record, but that means bupkis here, since it's not the subject of this discussion. --Calton | Talk 07:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable. The AMG listing is a discography. I think we can agree that there are not 9900 web sites discussing this guy, no? Come up with some real references and I'll reconsider. :) MarkBul 20:17, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. A notabe film-composer, and he sells. M.V.E.i. 21:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Notable? There's barely any evidence that he's even a film composer at all, let alone notable. --Calton | Talk 07:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. A notable film composer would compose the score for notable films, several preferably. Farr's sole IMDB credit is a non-notable James Bond parody. He has a discography at AMG, but having an AMG biography is a generally recognized tipping point toward the notability side. At this point I don't see him passing WP:MUSIC. --Dhartung | Talk 04:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm seeing no sign of real-world impact impact, notability, or even reliable sources. --Calton | Talk 07:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per most others. His one soundtrack is for a short film, even. Precious Roy 09:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
