• comment Why, pray tell me, would the creator of an article nominate it for deletion? Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 11:52, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
• Comment Plenty of us on Wikipedia have changed our view on notability as the project itself has evolved. I certainly started articles around the mid-2000s on subjects I don't think are notable now. RobinCarmody (talk) 17:15, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
• Keep. I have just added a citation of his obituary in The Times. An obituary in a major national newspaper has always been held to be sufficient for notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:19, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
• Keep Qualifies for a Wikipedia article via WP:GNG and lots of sourcing can also be used for WP:BASIC. That includes the obit found by Necrothesp and other sources including:

:*[https://www.jstor.org/stable/936697 "The Term 'Musical' "] written by Griffiths in The Musical Times

:*[https://www.organ-biography.info/index.php?id=Griffiths_Herbert_1899 Herbert Griffiths] brief biography via the Biographical Dictionary of the Organ

:*[https://www.tobias-broeker.de/rare-manuscripts/g-l/griffiths-herbert/ "Herbert Griffiths"] biography from Tobias Broeker

:*[https://www.rcm.ac.uk/library/collections/ His works and archives are held in the] Royal College of Music

:And that doesn't include what I think could qualify under WP:BASIC. I think with a bit of due diligence and focus, he could have a robust article built around offline sources. Missvain (talk) 21:24, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

• Keep as has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources such as The Times,and reliable book sources so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:06, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
