- Erik Deutsch is a great musician who most definitely qualifies under wikipedias guidelines. I have followed wiki musician guidelines and after the draft was refused, I revised and updated it so that had supported content and citations. My aim on wiki is to create articles for musicians who have created a body of original work over a long period of time. these are musicians without representation. After waiting almost 3 months for the re submission to be reviewed (after waiting many months for the original draft to be reviewed), I decided today to move forward to place it as an article.

- re: following up on notability Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.[note 1] YES I've listed multiple respected reviews, features in top music journals in the artists field listed below newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries[note 2] except for the following: Works consisting merely of trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories. Articles in a school or university newspaper (or similar), in most cases. NO Performances listed but dates referencing to his important professional collaborations are listed to support notability Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.[note 4] YES: Mexico and the US Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable). YES Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles.[note 5] This should be adapted appropriately for musical genre; for example, having performed two lead roles at major opera houses. Note that this criterion needs to be interpreted with caution, as there have been instances where this criterion was cited in a circular manner to create a self-fulfilling notability loop (e.g. musicians who were "notable" only for having been in two bands, of which one or both were "notable" only because those musicians had been in them.) YES Charlie Hunter (3 yrs), Leftover Salmon (4yrs), The Chicks (2020-present) as become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability. YES The opening part of the article primarily focuses on subjects impact on his local community in Colorado: After completing his degree from CU in piano performance, Deutsch stayed in Boulder developing a busy career as a performer and teacher. County Road X, a cinematic Americana ensemble, released two records during this period, County Road X (2002) and From Seed to Stone (2004). Triangle, a piano trio led by Deutsch's musical mentor Art Lande (on drums), released Three Sides to a Question in 2004. He taught and accompanied students frequently and was an adjunct faculty member at the Naropa University. Since 2015, Deutsch has hosted a weekly bi-lingual radio show called the Sounds of Brooklyn and Beyond with co-host Sara Valenzuela. The program airs on Jalisco Radio in Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, and Ciudad Guzman and is available as a podcast on iTunes and Spotify. thank you for allowing me to support the notability of this subject. I believe i have provided enough material to support the inclusion of this article. . if i am missing anything that would help I would gladly welcome knowledge of it and edit the article to meet the criteria Mistephake (talk) 21:43, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- Delete: Notability is not inherited from the notable artists this musician has worked with. Fails WP:GNG. Also depressing that the picture currently decorating the article is ©2016 ShowLove Media || All rights reserved || Photo by John-Ryan Lockman, now up for deletion on Commons Fiddle Faddle 09:50, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- I think his notability is defined by his work as a solo artist. I'm not basing the article on his notability being inherited. The reviews and feature articles on his work should be suitable proof. Mistephake (talk) 12:47, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- As far as the photo goes, I had the photographer upload and choose the license for that image. I don't know what happened there. Mistephake (talk) 12:51, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. proven notability are his reviews in downbeat http://www.downbeat.com/digitaledition/2017/DB1703/single_page_view/67.html and feature in the boulder weekly citing his contributions to the CO jazz scene https://www.boulderweekly.com/entertainment/erik-deutsch-splits-difference/ Mistephake (talk) 13:39, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - The walls of text from the author will delay my review, but my experience has been that articles that are supported by excessively long statements are usually not notable. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:55, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Weak Delete - The article, in its current form, does not show that the subject satisfies the musical notability criteria. This does not mean that the subject does not satisfy the criteria based on achievements not in the article, and it does not mean that the subject satisfies the criteria based on achievements no in the article. However, the article should speak for itself to the reader, and does not do that. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:10, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. Satisfies WP:BASIC and WP:GNG based on coverage by reliable secondary sources such as https://www.nashvillescene.com/music/article/13058368/nashville-expat-erik-deutsch-takes-jazz-into-outlaw-country and reviews in the Denver Post https://theknow.denverpost.com/2018/10/31/jazz-erik-deutschs-mingus/199474/ on his new release.

- Keep - it would be hard for a closer to do anything but a "no consensus" based on current arguments, some say GNG is met, others say it isn't. Neither side supports their position very well. However WP:GNG is clearly met, by reliable sources already in the article which provide independent, in-depth coverage. Examples include [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. The Downbeat and Boston Globe are of particular significance. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 18:56, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
