Hey {{reply|Lullabying}}, I think there should be a consideration about different standards for different kind of music. In this case we are talking about a Solo Pianist who's playing as a regular at the worlds leading opera house (La Scala is according to National Geographic the leading opera house in the world){{cite web |url=https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/top-10/opera-houses/ |website=National Geographic}}, still, as most pianists, he will probably never chart in his life. We have plenty of examples of that, most notably would be the bio article of Ian Parker (Canadian pianist), that is referenced very poorly but still his picture is on the article page Pianist and he has a bio article all on it's own. I am not disagreeing with you about requiring a treshold, I am just saying that maybe being a little bit more open towards the qualification foreign sources (he has been in all top 3 newspapers in Italy multiple times and had multiple TV broadcasts in Japan, I added some ref) and maybe consider that not everybody will achieve the degree of commercial success that you would apply to pop musicians, but still be relevant enough in his category to be documented (something expressively desired in . Additionally, I am up to 5 rotation in NHK radio last year. It's not easy to get everything straight when it£s written in Kanji, but the more I look the more I find. Knock yourself out: https://www.nhk.or.jp/classic-blog/100/301185.html . I think the current interpretation of the rules massively disfavours classical live artists
