The notability of this article appears to be somewhat off-key. Ecoleetage (talk) 01:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment. This article seems to be based closely on the corresponding article in the German Wikipedia, which cites a source on its talk page. The source definitely exists, but I don't have immediate access to it, so I'm not offering an opinion at this time. Deor (talk) 02:27, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep; real people from the 14th century should be given the benefit of the doubt, as nobody would write an article on them if they weren't notable. Furthermore, the AfD doesn't give any reason to delete, and hence should be speedily closed.--Prosfilaes (talk) 02:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Furthermore, both Beiträge zur Musikwissenschaft and Alte Musik: Von den Anfängen abendländischer Musik by Alfred Baumgartner show up in Google Books as mentioning him. There's two reliable sources.--Prosfilaes (talk) 02:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I created this due to the German Wikipedia article. I was thinking Medieval composers who are still known are probably notable. I did not find any sources though, but if there are sources that indicate this guy is a memorable Medieval composer then I say keep.--T. Anthony (talk) 03:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, medieval composers are notable.--Berig (talk) 15:05, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Sources clearly exist to confer notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:27, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
