[edit] Man-Ching Donald Yu

PROD tag removed without comment by anon. No notability per WP:MUSIC; the fact that it's an autobiography doesn't help much, either. User:Angr 09:24, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete non-notable composer, try again in a few years perhaps. SM247^{My Talk} 10:58, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:MUSIC. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 19:14, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
• Unsure. WP:MUSIC notes "Has written a song or composition which has won or placed in a major music competition not established expressly for newcomers." The ASCAP International Awards in Composition in 2005 seems to count, per [1], but I can't independently verify if he actually received the award. --ColourBurst 05:45, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The ASCAP award meets the WP:MUSIC criteria [2]. Also "Donald's piano and chamber music has been performed in numerous venues and occasions since his arrival to the United States." [3] meet the "Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country" national concert tour criteria. I believe the source website to be a notable and verifiable source. Royalbroil 05:14, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment The article does not mention this award, if they are notable they should be asserted and proved. If its true I believe my objection would be nullified. However, nothing in the source suggests that any of the performances of his works were or are part of a tour or of any significance, and nothing in that source indicates that he has even gone on a national tour.

• So you're saying that doesn't prove it was a tour, but it could be a series of single dates. That's possible too. The award and his widely varying composing experiences are enough to prove notability by itself in my mind. Royalbroil 11:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
