Much of this does not read very encyclopedaically at all. "He left this earth just as he always said he wanted to go: he had finished a beer or two with his wife and son Chris, was laughing and talking with friends, having done a couple of snowboard runs the day before, left for the car and then turned back for his credit card. While in the bar talking with the area manager, he collapsed suddenly and apparently without pain. Perhaps he is climbing and snowboarding the highest peaks of all now. Ron seemed to live every moment as if it were his last with an unmatched passion for music, running, biking, snowboarding, climbing and every other thing he could do. In his prime he had the energy of a light beam and his wit and love of people was infectious and endearing to all who knew him until the end." This sounds like a romanticized reminisce rather than an article in a reference work. dr-t 04:54, 14 November 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr-t (talk • contribs)
Appears to be a "vanity entry" for a deceased University music professor. Sources include "who's who" (vanity site) and an advertisement for "music lessons." I did a search for sources and found a self published book with little reach or impact; https://www.amazon.com/Bassoon-performance-practices-teaching-United/dp/B0007AH8J4 The biography reads well and is interesting; but in my opinion the subject is not notable. I considered opening up for discussion but instead "proposed deletion" directly (if this is an incorrect approach, or you have concerns, please let me know) Flibbertigibbets (talk) 18:51, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
