Delete. Aparrently no published material; not yet notable. Note: page content is also very heavily based on The Official Edward Manukya website. Ros0709 (talk) 12:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More editing has been made Let's leave the composer's biography alone. Shall we? There actually IS a lot of published material, please do not post unsupported claims. 71.129.175.164 (talk) 16:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. What is this published material? Please indicate where I can obtain sheet music or CDs of this composer from a recognised publisher (not the composer himself). I shall reconsider my delete if it indeed exists. (The obvious plagiarism of the composer's website would still be an issue - but that is not the justification for this AFD.)

- Comment. In this day and age many professional composers do not depend on publishing companies. Self-publishing is increasingly considered the best option for most contemporary composers, and mainstream publishing companies are losing business, just as the recording companies are. (Read this article: http://www.newmusicbox.org/article.nmbx?id=5011 ). However, this particular composer has a set-up date with a major orchestra for a CD and DVD production ( see: http://www.edwardmanukyan.com/music.html ). Destroying his entry seems a bit unfare at this time. If there is any plagiarism left, we can delete or modify them... but not the entire page.
