Please do not delete Rodney Waschka II is an internationally known composer.
The proposed deletion was removed after adding references to assert notability. This composer is a prominient composer and as significant proponent in the academic electronic music community.
I respect and admire the Wikipedia's community in their vigilance; however, in reference to the following which was placed in the proposed removal of this page: "Asserts notability, but does not seem to be a notable composer -- Merkin Concert Hall in New York isn't particularly a huge venue in which to have someone's work performed, for example. " seems to me to be an inexperienced statement. Merkin and Weil Hall in Carnegie are two venues of the same seating size but are both important indicating notability for both contemporary composers and pop musicians alike.
Measuring notability simply on numbers seems to be a mistake in my mind. Many have contributed lots to a small audience and have been significant figures. I want to note the fact that Bach was seen mostly as a simple organist in his time and was not recognized until 100's of years after his death.
My hope is that Wikipedia will not make this error. VoxNovus ( talk) 03:49, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Sure - here we go:
Media reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician/ensemble talks about themselves, and advertising for the musician/ensemble.
Works comprising merely trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply report performance dates or the publications of contact and booking details in directories.
An article in a school or university newspaper (or similar) would generally be considered trivial but should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis."

There is no conflict of interest or vested interest besides enriching the community with knowledge about new music. The purpose of Vox Novus is to strengthen the field of new music. One of the missions has been to list prominent contemporary composers, musicians, and organization on Wikipedia. My opinion is that Wikipedia needs more writers who are qualified to write in regards to this topic. I am by no means a profesional writer and I am stumbling over some of the methods, procedures, and style; however, I am a knowledgable source in the field of new music. With that said, I agree that I should put a description of who and what I am on thel Wikipedia description page. My apologies, I have been busy with work... and frankly ... a little shy.
