[edit] Robert_J._Brownlow

You'll have to check out the history on this one. Prod tag was added, removed. Original author has now blanked the page. Originally was a biography of a non-notable person, I believe. Xyzzyplugh 20:23, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I restored the article, he has a number of achievements, I can't see keeping a garage band but deleting a musical polymath such as Dr Brownlow --Ruby 21:01, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

We don't keep garage band articles. Do you have any links demonstrating his notability? According to the article, he's a university music teacher, plays in a few non-notable orchestras, and has composed some music which also doesn't appear to me to be especially notable. --Xyzzyplugh 21:27, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. This is a copyvio of his page as you will see if you follow the link. However, it was created by Robert Brownlow which causes great problems. Capitalistroadster 22:38, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I agree with Xzssyplugh. His compositions do not appear to have been performed anywhere significant. --Thunk 02:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and rewrite to avoid copyvio. I'm no expert but given the extensiveness of his resume including stints at several notable universities and orchestras he seems worth including.--ThreeAnswers 09:54, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Stints at notable universities? I certainly hope that being a university professor is never enough to qualify one for a wikipedia article. --Xyzzyplugh 15:27, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep seems fairly notable within the orchestra section of the country. Per his UCF page, "[h]is music is performed throughout the United States." [1]. He has been a part of several "professional orchestras." Notable enough for me. Pepsidrinka 17:49, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment pretty clear WP:AUTO violation, which is not grounds for deletion... just bad form. I'd say based on several the claims in this article he would be notable, but they are not sourced from an independent source (i.e. one that is not a faculty page). If it gets sourced I'll change to keep.--Isotope23 19:21, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per arguments above, esp. Ruby. — Adrian Lamo ·· 20:45, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
