Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO and WP:MUSICBIO. Little coverage in reliable secondary sources, except for this article in Philadelphia City Paper, a now defunct alternative local. This musician is mentioned often in one-liners such as "Jay Ansill is an accomplished Celtic and Folk composer and musician", but not much more.

Keep. I remember reading a review about the artist. Also Jay had an album on the Beacon Records label as well as the Flying Fish label. A respected Celtic composer, musician. The article needs a lot of work though. Karl Twist (talk) 12:06, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Karl Twist, if you could find this review, that may be helpful. Otherwise, though, having an album on a notable label does not in and of itself grant an artist notability. Gilded Snail (talk) 19:02, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to above. Hi Gilded Snail. The review I was thinking of comes from that harp review. IT's review on one of his albums from memory. Thanks Karl Twist (talk) 08:46, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I searched Ansill on Google News and at first thought some of these sources may be useful-- however, they only mention him in one line and do not constitute WP:SIGCOV. Gilded Snail (talk) 19:02, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to Gilded Snail post 19:02, 29 January 2019. Here's 3 sources that should do fine. They are all about him.
* Article in - The Philadelphia Inquirer, Saturday, April 11, 1992 - Page 43 "He folds a Japanese art into music of the Celts"
* Article by Mary Armstrong in - My City Paper, October 20-26, 2005 - "The Stringer, Catching up with longtime Philly sideman Jay Ansill"
* Article by Michael Elkin in - Bucks County Courier Times, Dec 25, 2015 - "Doylestown composer’s fire works well on ice in ‘Hans Brinker’"
