Sorry about that I put a response on there I didn't realize I shouldn't delete the tag.. Do you see the response on there?
- Yes, I saw the response there. And I have replied there. In case that message gets deleted (talk pages are usually deleted along with the associated articles):
- Whether or not Brian Thornton (the volleyball player) is notable is irrelevant. The only relevant point is that you have not provided any indications that Brian Thornton (the cellist) is notable. You have provided citations that show that 1) he plays for the CSO and 2) he has been involved in their community outreach program. You have not provided any citations to back up the claim that he has been involved in "premiering 100s of new pieces" or that he has been noticed in any way for his work with the CSO or with any other ensemble. Provide significant coverage independent of the subject (i.e. not from the CSO website or the person's own website) and you might build a better case.
