renominating for deletion. This was deleted through AfD, but since there was little participation last time was restored through WP:REFUND. I hope the discussion gets more participation this time so we can get consensus one way or the other. I stand by my original reasoning for deletion which was "A WP:SPA creation. This is not an easy decision, by all accounts he does a good job, but I don't think the subject passes WP:NMUSICIAN. He is mentioned in a few newspaper articles, but I don't really see any in-depth.coverage. The most coverage I really see is a New York Times article that says "The Percussion Symphony is another matter. This mammoth work, conducted from memory by Peter Jarvis, seems to be on its way to becoming a genuine 20th-century warhorse - and with good reason. It is a riotous celebration of rhythm - colorful and even poetic." That's only a few sentences. His television work is minor and I don't believe any of his compositions pass WP:NMUSIC" Rusf10 (talk) 04:32, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. Meets Criterion 5 of WP:MUSICBIO, with multiple recordings as percussionist or conductor on important indie labels, including Naxos, Koch International, Elektra/Nonesuch, CRI, Abkco and maybe some of the others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidships (talk • contribs) 10:29, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

- Delete, he's a percussionist (quite whatever that is) and conductor, so however many pieces he claims to have played on, or conducted, he doesn't pass WP:GNG unless he's been noticed significantly, or had a marked success. This is just a very long CV. Claiming to have played on several recordings isn't the same as "released two or more albums on a major record label", because we don't know (or have any proof) of what he contributed to the works (otherwise every musician on an a orchestral recording would be 'notable'). While there are some indications of mentions in the 1980s (which means there are possibly pre-internet sources) there are no claims of success in the article, sourced or unsourced. Wikipedia isn't a directory of professional musicians. Sionk (talk) 19:06, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

- Keep The conductor plays the largest role in the ensemble. Jarvis has, as conductor, made numerous recordings for such notable labels as Koch and CRI; as such, he passes WP:MUSICBIO. His reviews in NY Times and numerous pieces composed for him adds to his notability. Zingarese (talk) 01:16, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
- He hasn't released any albums. Where I can find any proof, Jarvis performed on 2 or 3 tracks of lengthy albums. And is only mentioned in the NYT reviews. Sionk (talk) 05:19, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
