Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arthur P. Barnes
The main claim to notability&mdash;the subject's having directed a notable university band for thirty-four-plus years&mdash;is sourced well, such that putative absence of sourcing should not be a dispositive issue here (one may, to be sure, remove the material in the Arthur P. Barnes#Career|"career" section that is not clearly sourced, although I would note that it seems that a source exists in Stanford Band, which attributes some of the identical material to an article in ''Rolling Stone'').  That the subject is notable seems clear to me, but I'll withhold a full  analysis until I've more time; I mean only to note that this one does not suffer the same defects of the unsourced marginal BLPs with which we are presented of late at AfD
