:I disagree, as have {{u|Rojeezee}} and {{u|Noq}}, who have also reverted you.

Article accuracy
As promised during the AfD, I have asked an OTRS correspondent (VRTS ticket # 2019091210000283) who says that he is the subject of this article to check the latest version for accuracy. Here are his comments (with some personal details omitted):
For starters, I do not recall Saturday Review's having such a title as "contributing editor" (though Stereo Review did). I don't think "bachelor of philosophy" has to be spelt out: "Ph.B." would do. I would suggest again that someone at Wikipedia simply check the listings in Grove, Baker's, etc., and base the listing on what is found there. I am not a very important figure, just someone whose name is known within a fragment of today's public interested in music... Baker's, in which Slonimsky himself wrote every entry, is thoroughly reliable... If I can get to this small item myself I'll send something to you, but as things stand now the current Grove material is a tad more up-to-date, but not necessarily more thorough than what is in Baker's. If you can find the Richard Freed who wrote "Sex After Broccoli," that might be worth your attention. As the wonderful Anna Russell used to say, "I'm not making this up, you know!"

This is what it should say in the section explaining his death.
He died at his home in Rockville, Maryland on January 1, 2022, five days after his 93rd birthday. --166.205.141.33 (talk) 16:40, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
