This article has been recreated as a non-copyvio. Still seems like vanity to me. RickK 07:54, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)

• STRONG KEEP. my research has revealed strong suggestions of notability. If http://users.churchserve.com/tx/inspiringmusic/bio.html is true, he's worked with Ray Charles, Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, Jean Pierre Rampal and Doc Severinsen, and has played on several symphony orchestras. If those aren't credentials for a notable classical musician, what is? Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:27, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. On closer reading, I suspect that link doesn't reveal quite the level of notability one would hope for. The quote from the linked article is, "Throughout his career, he has shared [a] stage along with [such] world-acclaimed artists as...". Presumably those highly notable artists appeared as soloists while Murillo was a member of the symphony orchestra behind them. Even if Itzhak Perlman is at the front of the stage, I don't think it makes every member of the orchestra (thirty, fifty, a hundred musicians?) notable. I would suggest that for a symphony orchestra (one noteworthy in and of itself), only the conductor and maybe the concertmaster are usually above the notability threshold for inclusion. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 19:08, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, thousands of string players have done studio sessions with famous people, this is an ad for a fiddle player. Wyss 19:24, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• STRONG KEEP There is evidence of this violinist's capabilities and rank. I have heard his name among my Southern friends. I am friends with some of Dallas' art lovers and they have stated they have heard of Rigo Murillo, describing him positively. Adler

• STRONG KEEP I know this is a notable clinician who is recently engaged in a Temple University (PA) research study on the Suzuki method of violin in public schools. He has lead workshops and concerts in the North-Texas region. --65.134.160.243 23:46, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
