Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Erb
A quick Google search establishes that there are additional sources that make a stronger case for Erb's influence as choral conductor (founding director of the Richmond Symphony Chorus), arranger (Shenandoah and others -- the arrangement itself is notable in collegiate music), and musicologist (insights on Lasso and his peers) than made in this article. I strongly suggest giving a few days to establish and strengthen the article. Also, the article has existed for many years prior to Erb's death, so I would suggest that  is specious here. The article wasn't created as a memorial, and threatening an established, albeit stubbed, article with deletion immediately after the subject's death seems unnecessarily churlish. - —&nbsp;Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by
