R. Winston Morris (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable professor. Corvus cornixtalk 06:10, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. I'd like to see some sources to back up the assertions, but notability in music with the tuba ensemble is asserted in the article. —C.Fred (talk) 06:14, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Provided the author can back up claims of notability, this seems a valid stub-class article. In a previous discussion, the author mentioned that the subject is mentioned in the article Tuba. --carelesshx talk 06:18, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep legit source establishes notability. --Brewcrewer 06:24, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep The PROF standards dont apply directly for performers and composers and visual artists -- they need to be judged by the standards of their professional field--as is the case in actual university settings. Given the performances and recordings, he'd seem to qualify. DGG (talk) 05:05, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per DGG, qualifies for notability standards. RFerreira 08:37, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. If you play tuba or euphonium in the United States, you know Winston Morris's name, for two reasons: 1) he founded the first university tuba-euphonium ensemble, one of the first ensembles of its kind anywhere; and 2) he was the source of tons of the early tuba-euphonium ensemble literature, either because he arranged it himself or because he commissioned for his ensemble. Without R. Winston Morris, neither the tuba-euphonium ensemble nor its literature would exist today. --NetherlandishYankee (talk) 02:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
