POV pushing, autobiographical, not notable musician, fails notability, wp:music, wp:band, nor referenced, no reliable sources, c.o.i. Troyster87 (talk) 01:16, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Note for closing admin. Troyster87 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely blocked and is alleged to be a banned user, per his talk page. Because this was discovered after Starblind's comment below, the nomination is not eligible for speedy keep. —C.Fred (talk) 02:49, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete incredibly puffy COI article for a musician who doesn't meet our music guidelines. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:34, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Administrator's note. Checking if anything in this article is salvageable, as there appears to be copyright infringement from http://www.mishaquint.com/mqbio.htm.—C.Fred (talk) 04:18, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe that this cellist is just as notable as most of the other cellists on the List of Cellists page on Wikipedia. Is there something about the tone that you would like me to change? An example of another cellist is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuill_Bailey or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zara_Nelsova . Please tell me what I could improve before deleting it. What exactly are your "music guidelines"?
- Thanks for your input. PS: I have sent OTRS the permission I have from http://www.mishaquint.com/ to use the material there.

- Weak keep, based on criterion #9 from WP:MUSIC: "Has won or placed in a major music competition." The International Competition in Prague may qualify. His formation of the InterHarmony festivals may also qualify. I'd like to see a little more development on the article before passing judgment—and it needs a rewrite regardless. If independent sources turn up about the award and/or the festival, that's a good sign to keep. If there's no independent coverage, I'm for revisiting this issue in about a month. —C.Fred (talk) 04:27, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your consideration. I will continue to rewrite. --Llewcellist (talk) 04:49, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone. I rewrote the article recently so that it is not exactly as the text I am gaining permission to use and tried to make it more indifferent and encyclopedic. I also added a new source which is an article from a performance with the most famous/significant orchestra in Brasilia which proves that Quint has worked with Levin, one of the famous conductors listed. Please offer any other advice as to sources needed and etc--72.23.174.105 (talk) 21:01, 8 March 2009 (UTC).[reply]

- Keep. AfD is not for cleanup; this Google News search turns up a number of articles (from the Philadelphia Inquirer, NYT, etc.) that suggest there's plenty of notability. Then there's the matter of the nominator being blocked indefinitely for sockpuppeteering, and it was suggested elsewhere (can't remember where) that the nom was an AfD troll. Doesn't matter; this cellist is notable enough, in my opinion. Drmies (talk) 02:22, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
