QPQ: Done.

Overall: This nom should be fine if you can correct these small points: (1) The 6th citation is a deadlink. (2) The Youtube item under the External Links heading is discouraged by YP; I don't mind it personally, but if you don't remove it, an admin probably will. (3) To make the article more readable and to keep future edits tidy, it would help to add more subheadings, e.g. Training (Tim was educated ...), Career (From 1998 ... ). Works (He composed a ...), Awards (In 1987 he was awarded ..., and In 2008 he was awarded ...). (4) If you decide to insert the subheadings in that way, you will need to add a citation after the 1987 award. (5) Your QPQ is still pending. Timms deserves a DYK entry. If you can manage those improvements, I believe the article should be OK. Storye book (talk) 17:35, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

I reviewed now. The Youtube wasn't by me, so I'm reluctant to remove. I'd add subheadings if the article was longer. Link fixed, and two more added. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:21, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

• Ticked. Thank you for looking into this, and for sorting out the dead link and the review. I'm happy to accept your explanation about the article being too short for subheadings. If you want to be sure about keeping the Youtube vid in External links, it might be worth a search to see whether the same vid has been embedded in another site which WP would accept as reliable. Good luck with this one - this musician an interesting subject. Storye book (talk) 13:41, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you! He was on my to-do-list, and then LouisAlain created the article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:54, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
