BLP built on IMDB, an interview and a lot of passing mentions. Lack of in depth coverage by reliable independent sources. Does not pass WP:ANYBIO. Mccapra (talk) 20:28, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep He is notable as NCREATIVE 1 "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." Per Backstage, "Vocal coach Ron Anderson may be the man more stars turn to than any other. His client list extends literally from the Metropolitan Opera to Neil Diamond to Guns n' Roses."[1] Per WSJ, he is "a well-known voice coach who has worked with rockers like Axl Rose .. [and] uses the 300-year-old 'bel canto technique'."[2] I also found a profile of him, not yet cited in article: https://www.palmbeachpost.com/article/20120613/ENTERTAINMENT/812018726 Still, HouseOfChange (talk) 01:00, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment well, yes, he “may be the man more stars turn to than any other” but I’m not sure that’s the same thing as “widely cited by peers”. The 300 year old bel canto technique isn’t some special sauce this guy has rediscovered, it’s an absolutely mainstream technique taught by tens of thousands of people all round the world.

@Mccapra: I believe there is a good fit to the first half of NCREATIVE 1: "The person is regarded as an important figure [in his creative field] ..." IMO, being hired by Warner Brothers to coach Tom Cruise for a movie that cost them $75M establishes that Ron Anderson was a well-regarded voice coach."

Ok that makes sense. Mccapra (talk) 20:31, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The article gets promotional at times, and media coverage that is specifically about him is scant. However he has been covered in reliable sources in relation to his students. Applying the musical notability guidelines may be unfair because he is not a creative performer, but I think he has enough for the basic requirements for any sort of person at WP:NBIO. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 01:45, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
