Keep Once again a very lacking
WP:BEFORE although this may have been hindered by inaccuracies in the article (Heller's full name, date of birth etc were wrong). There are also many discrepancies in sources about Heller - I've seen three different DoBs in sources and a New York Times article talks about him being interned in France in 1940 despite moving to the US in 1938. Regardless of this, he received
an obituary in The New York Times as well as
an entry in
Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians. An NYT obit and listing in a major encyclopaedic work (now added with other sources to the article) are enough to pass GNG. @

Vladimir.copic: Are you totally sure you have the correct Hans Heller? There is more than one Hans Heller who was a composer, but one died in Berlin and the other in Queens. This one died in Berlin. I'd like to confirm this before withdrawing the nom, I did find stuff for Hans Heller, but for the other one.

Yeah I think I’ve got confused here. There seem to be two Hans Hellers who were composers with similar lives and died in the same year. The article is now a confusion of the two. It looks to me that Hans Hermann Israel Heller does not meet GNG but Hans Ewald Heller does meet GNG. Not sure the best way to proceed now.

Vladimir.copic: Probably pull everything you'd added about Hans E. Heller to a new draft or article about Hans Ewald Heller and delete this one? This would avoid (inadvertently) hijacking the article. I'd agree that Hans Ewald Heller seems to be notable, but since this was originally about Hans H.I. Heller, it should be deleted.

Delete - I think Vladimir.copic has cleared things up, and thanks to him for developing the new article for
Hans Ewald Heller. As for this Hans Heller, he has an interesting story if it's true, but I suspect that the article was an attempt to promote the recent musicology effort to rediscover his long-lost music. The problem is that the rest of the world has not noticed, and until that happens it is an esoteric project without encyclopedic value here. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (
