The "Awards" section, albeit largely unreferenced, seems to suggest notability per WP:MUSICBIO #9. GregorB (talk) 16:23, 29 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
No.9 says "won or placed in a major music competition". Grand Prix Bach de Lausanne does not look that major to me and neither does the Andrea Antico de Montona contest. The "Chancellor's Award" is a mistranslation of the UNIZG Dean's Award (not really that major). The Concurso internacional CAI - Jóvenes interpretes de Organo was launched in 2010 (so probably too recent to be major) and the Varaždin Baroque Evenings prizes don't sound very major either. I mean, he may be a great organist but basically his carrier so far consists of spending years studying the instrument, winning a few contests and then playing it full time at a Zagreb church. He never released an album, he doesn't seem to have appeared in other musicians' albums and I can't find any evidence of him performing in a solo concert.

Yeah, I know it all hinges on what "major" means. My understanding is that a reputable national competition such as the Varaždin Baroque Evenings qualifies as "major", just as I understand that e.g. Porin would also qualify as a "major" award w.r.t. WP:MUSICBIO #8, although it is certainly not a major award in global terms. Frankly, I don't know of any "really" major harpsichordist/organist competitions, and these are presumably the only ones that he can enter. What concerns me more is that the award claims are almost entirely unreferenced, and therefore potentially do not really count for the purposes of this discussion. I'll see what I can do regarding these. GregorB (talk) 16:53, 29 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Reasonably cited now, and I'm satisfied that his awards add up towards passing the notability threshold. GregorB (talk) 09:57, 8 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
