From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leach seems a worthy subject for an article, but if you would like the article to remain you must write it in the WP style, which includes:
- looking like an encyclopedia article not a CV (use asterisks for lists, just as I did)
- saying in the first sentence something to demonstrate notability, like professor of X at, winner of the XYZ prize and N honorary doctorate (whatever applies). *Use the exact word: "notable"; do not use "famous"
- not going into disproportionate personal details
- listing college degrees with university and year -- and putting the university names in double brackets
- listing important awards, performances in such a way that they stand out.
l and, most important, giving some 3rd party sources. A website at a university etc. can be one, but it cannot be the only one. Performance reviews are ideal, and two or three of them will be enough to do the trick. fine, or a newspaper stories. Print or web is OK, but not from a list or a blog.
There is serious prejudice here against articles written by the subject or a member of his family, so it has to be a really solid article. See WP:AUTO and WP:COI These is also, unfortunately, prejudice against people from the classical music world. Look at similar articles that have stayed in..
If you do not do this immediately, the article will probably be deleted in a 2 or 3 days --though not by me. I apologize for not having the time to help you personally.
