The result was Keep. Actually, it's closer to "no consensus". Still, this article needs some clean up, and sources, as the keep proponents have suggested. Marking as such. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 17:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

No claim in article of meeting WP:Notability; no sources in article that show notability. First half dozen pages of non-wiki ghits aren't showing notability. Contested prod. Fabrictramp (talk) 23:14, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. as the nominator reasons there is no cliam of notability. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per nom - possible vanity article- the creating editor's contributions all relate to this subject. Dreamspy (talk) 09:28, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
• weak keep COI is not reason for deletion--the academic book and the recordings are real enough. Given the difficulty of publishing classical musics, he's notable. DGG (talk) 09:28, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
• no vote - I checked Google. [1] says "French composer Michel Bosc was born in 1963 and as a composer is largely self-taught. A prolific composer, his works cover such diverse registers as chamber music, symphonies, choral music, and music for the theater. A member of the Société Marc-Antoine Charpentier, he also is a distinguished music critic, analyst, and author. His works have been performed worldwide by such performers and ensembles as Gilles Lefèvre, Aline Fox, Christian Foulonneau, the brass quintet of the Orchestre National des Pays de Loire, the National Orchestra of Kazakhstan, the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Ulyanovsk Philarmonia, the European Orchestra, the Orchestre Instrumental d’Ile-de-France, the Orchestre Symphonique Lyonnais, and the Ensemble Gabriele Leone. Conductor Maximilian Fröschl has described Bosc’s music as possessing 'melodic sweetness, polyphonic rigour, and the power of rhythm.'" [2] says "French composer-arranger, self-educated, discovered by the famous french composer and singer William Sheller in 1985, he wrote, in addition to a trio for flute per request of Jean-Pierre Rampal (op.21), more than a hundred pieces including three symphonies, six symphonic poems, three masses, chamber music (including "La Harpe Invisible op.82", an order from the Ensemble Gabriele Leone, and also a pastiche of Charpentier for ancient instruments, op.5), scene music and arrangements of songs. He also wrote several articles in the Bulletin of the Charpentier Society, and he conducts the voice ensemble Beatus Vir." These seem very weak, so I'll leave it to someone more in the know to determine if these sources mean anything. There's definitely more written about him in the French language. At the same time, I'm in favour of killing any vanity article; this one at least needs a good rewrite to make it encyclopedic, if it stays. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 18:30, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep but it needs tagging. Bearian (talk) 22:24, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep and clean up per AllGloryToTheHypnotoad. The sources from that comment need to go to the article, as it doesn't have any. It also needs some other fixing (e.g. why are all of the piece titles surrounded by double angle brackets?) I'd say his publications make him notable.
