Notability. This still-on-training young violinist, though I am sure he is very talented, hasn't made any impact in the classical music world and does not meet the notability criteria:

Hasn't been the subject of media coverage.
Has made no recordings.
Hasn't won a major competition. Yes, he was a contestant in the Menuhin and the Wieniawski Competition, but he did not make it to the finals. The Emily Anderson Prize is a scholarship and not a prize.
Hasn't performed with a major orchestra as soloist.
The list includes big names of people he has studied with but none of people performed with.

I think this performer might be notable in the future, but he does not deserve an article now. Karljoos (talk) 09:57, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the rationale of the nominator with no prejudice to re-creation if at a future time, this young artist becomes notable. I've done a search on the subject. There is no evidence of significant coverage in independent sources. The only appearance as a soloist with an orchestra appears to be with the Worcester Philharmonic Orchestra, an amateur group.

Delete for now and recreate later if he becomes notable. --Deskford (talk) 12:39, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. While he could well become notable, Wikipedia is not a WP:CRYSTALBALL and rherfore article shoudl not exist until something happens.--Peter cohen (talk) 13:37, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete maybe notable someday, but not today. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:51, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
