Delete. While she's achieved success as a musician, the only aspect of her career which would pass WP:NMUSICIAN would be as a finalist in the BBC Young Musician of the Year: and while she was a semi-finalist having won the brass section, I don't consider this on its own is enough to demonstrate notability. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 12:41, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I agree with the previous voter. Ms. Barnes has racked up some accomplishments in her chosen field but she has not yet received the necessary reliable and independent coverage as a musician in her own right. ☆ DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) ☆ 19:08, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Angela Barnes is notable as the first woman in history to be employed in the brass section of the London Symphony Orchestra. This is a major watershed for one of the most prominent orchestras in the UK. The fact that she won the job at such a young age adds to the notabilitry of this British horn player. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quincetree12 (talk • contribs) 21:18, 5 October 2020 (UTC) — Quincetree12 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep Barnes appears to have been the first woman in the brass section of a major UK orchestra. As well she meets WP:MUSICBIO for items 1 and 9 as finalist for BBC Young Musician of the Year and item 6 as a member of the London Symphony Orchestra.
