Redirect[edit]

Now that Gilbert has been named music director of the NY Philharmonic, I suggest making this article the primary redirect, as opposed to the article on the British professor. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Augmented4ths (talk • contribs) 00:45, 18 July 2007.

Done, since Gilbert just conducted his first official concert as Music Director of the NY Phil. Softlavender (talk) 13:15, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Only half done, Alan Gilbert only redirects here but should actually be the main article. --FordPrefect42 (talk) 23:50, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have just come to this and had not noticed the title change. The academic Alan Gilbert died recently so I expect the composer will become better known as his career progresses. However I am not sure how being musical director of an orchestra automatically trumps being the founding president of the largest university in the UK!

Middle name?[edit]

Some IP has repeatedly inserted a middle name "Takeshi". This seems to be consistent with the new article ja:アラン・ギルバート, and it seems plausible for him to have a Japanese middle name, since his mother is obviously Japanese [1]. But still, a source for the middle name is needed ... --FordPrefect42 20:33, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Studied with Mitsuko Uchida"?[edit]

What does that mean? Why would he study with a pianist? Also, there's no listing in the New England Conservatory of Music article, or her article, that Uchida ever taught there. Please source this, or delete. Thanks. Softlavender (talk) 13:14, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Deleted; no foundation for any of it on his detailed website. Softlavender (talk) 15:15, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Further Update: He studied with violinist Masuko Ushioda, not pianist Mitsuko Uchida. [2], [3] -- Softlavender (talk) 10:56, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alan Gilbert (conductor) → Alan Gilbert — Main title should not be a redirect. Move currently most notable person to main title. FordPrefect42 (talk) 23:45, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Much more notable (just do a Google search) than the academic. I only added the "(conductor)" to the original redirect so the Brits and Aussies would not get up in arms. Assuming they will not (the Aussie-Brit Alan Gilbert is an academic, and near retirement age), I'm fine with "Alan Gilbert" (no occupation in header) as being the direct for the American conductor, if this meets Wikipedia guidelines.
