Deletion

Reason: Does not meet notability criteria

F Charpentier has't won or placed in a major music competition
Hasn't received non-trivial coverage in a reliable source of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.
Hasn't performed music for a work of media that is notable
Is not an scholar or professor in a higher education conservatoire
neither a composer nor a performer who has given first performances of major works
based on the bio hasn't performed as soloist with a major orchestra
hasn't released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels

I say the achievements of this young musician don't deserve (YET) an article on wikipedia. Thank you--Karljoos (talk) 07:05, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to contest this deletion, as I believe he does meet the notability criteria.

Prague Spring International Music Festival is a major music festival, and he was the first Frenchman to win in nearly 30 years
I'm assuming that means solo tour? No, but he toured Spain with the Paris orchestra
Was broadcast nationwide by Radio France
No
Premiered "Sylinx" at the 2009 Prague Spring festival
Soloed with l'Orchestre de L'Opéra de Lyon and World Youth Orchestra
No

Well, I still think there can't be an article about every minor professional musician (including myself) with a résumé like this young man's (I think they should be removed!), but since you added references and improved the article I wont pursue this anymore.--Karljoos (talk) 05:28, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
