Anne Louise Boyvin d'Hardancourt Brillon de Jouy[edit]

Independent notability not established; neither being an aristocrat nor a friend of someone famous is adequate for this- notability is not inherited. Playing the harpsichord, however well, does not satisfy WP:MUSICIAN on its own, although I'm sure she could lay down a mean riff. Rodhull andemu 21:33, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am not at all knowledgeable with the notability guidelines for composers (although, I did just now read them); and do not believe I can make a valid argument either way. I do note that she is mentioned in the Norton Grove Dictionary of Women Composers, but I don't know how to interpret the "reasonable length" criterion of the notability guidelines.

Keep. A Google Books search [1] would appear to indicate that she was a notable composer/musician in her day, and notability does not expire. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:54, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and tag for expansion -- This article is little more than an unreferenced stub. It is categorised as "Women composers", but the text does not even state that she was a composer. Her relationship with Franklin is interesting, but does not establish her notability (and that is all the article covers so far). However, her status as a composer might do so. Her appearance in Grove is probably an indication that she is notable, but the article does not deal with that. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:39, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
