Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vanessa Lann
while agreeing that the previous version of the article was substandard, and the article highly deserved to be AfD-ed. That she is American but living in the Netherlands means much of the review material is in Dutch, somewhat hard for English-users in America such as myself to access, although new translation tools make it easier to find sources (I had to dig into 25+ SERP pages plus did much cross-checking) to try to improve the article as per . My take: serious composer, dedicated, much work, although she has not hit popular fame as such, although her work is performed regularly in festivals and can be heard on eight CDs; so I did not find the kind of in-depth articles Wikipedia likes for notability although they may still be out there (in Dutch?). However, there are enough sources out there to show a serious composer, and the  rule says |If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability -- so if we combine the nontrivial sources, a picture emerges of a solid composer/artist who is notable. It is enhanced by the numerous awards listed in the infobox. Further, her music is getting critical attention in http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/29/arts/music/29isab.html?_r=0 the New York Times, http://www.classicstoday.com/review/review-6425/#sthash.fZIU46ZJ.dpuf Classics Today, and http://www.volkskrant.nl/vk/nl/2844/Archief/archief/article/detail/3399382/2013/02/25/De-stilte-van-saar.dhtml this newspaper called volkskrant which (to me) sounds like a trimmed down Volkswagen. So, all things considered, I think she's a keeper
