Unreferenced BLP and the person described is not notable. Not to mention the poorly written content as well. Mopswade (talk) 08:24, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A bit of research confirms that this individual did indeed exist and write music that has attracted some notice. However, notability doesn't appear to really exist in terms of our guidelines. A lot of online discussion is out there, but I don't see reliable sources as a part of that.

Delete since they died 92 years ago, this in no way is a BLP. However the article lacks sources, and as Shellwood has said nothing exists to pass GNG, we should delete this article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:33, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. He is notable in Hungary. I've added two references, one from the Biographical Dictionary of Veszprém. The other is a lengthy and detailed article about his life from the Veszprém News Portal (VEOL). There are at least two further articles about him on that site. He is also the subject of a biography by Adrián Horváth. "Poorly written" and "no references" is not a reason to delete an article. It's a reason to improve it. This article was translated from the Hungarian Wikipedia (hence the somewhat clumsy prose) and simply needs copy-editing and expansion. I have also found dozens of articles about him in the various newspapers of Pápa in the early 20th Century. They're all in PDFs and in Hungarian. See [1]. I emphasise, it's pretty hard to say "nothing exists" about a person when you haven't properly looked for it. Voceditenore (talk) 10:47, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per Voce, and additionally: even people who don't read Hungarian may look at the impressive list of his scores in IMSLP. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:41, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources from Hungary that show that he passes WP:BASIC and that deletion is unnecessary in my view. Also note that non English language sources are acceptable for WP:GNG, 00:23, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
