Speedy deletion tag[edit]

working to add more information about the composer and arranger as well as list of accomplishments (Collegedj (talk) 21:19, 21 August 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Before that, you should add some better sources, verifying his notability in his field. As a notable musician, I'm sure his work has been discussed in publications other than his own alumni magazine. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:24, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable at present, but allowing a short time to correct this is reasonable. When doing so, please consider adding sources and look at WP:BAND. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 21:33, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to help, but I couldn't find the needed sources with my own search. Still, I'm entirely open to the possibility that I missed something that would be useful. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:34, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm tempted to decline the speedy; a quick search found this article in New York Amsterdam News, and The New York Times calls him "the promising young trumpeter Theo Croker" in its listings. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 22:09, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, plenty of assertions of importance in his bio at All About Jazz. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 22:14, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Added Notability query and request for 3rd party sources (as had FisherQueen etc above). BTW an unsigned AllAboutJazz biography can be user-submitted-content so is insufficient. AllyD (talk) 23:06, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
