If you ask questions on Wikipedia, they will be answered on Wikipedia, and your question was answered 2 days ago. See: Wikipedia:Help_desk#DELETION_OF_INFORMATION_ABOUT_THE_INTERNATIONAL_CONCERT_ORGANIST_RALPH_CUPPER

For your convience I will copy the answers here on your talk page.

Just to clarify, the reason A7 does NOT state that the person was not notable - it states that the article which was deleted did not adequately establish the notability of the person. For clarification on how to establish the notability of a person within an article, please review WP:BIO; or, more specifically in this case, WP:MUSICBIO. It may just be a matter of re-writing the article, this time providing reliable sources that help establish that the subject meets the criteria of notability as defined in the links I provided. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 23:50, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

(edit conflict)x3 Please do not provide personal contact information; answers will only be given on this page, and provide this information makes you a target for spammers and stalkers. As a response to your original comment: Though a person may be notable, without reliable sources we have no way to verify this. While I cannot see the deleted page (as I am not an administrator) lack of claims of notability (as defined by this guideline) and lack of sources to back said claims are the most common reasons for A7 deletion.

(e/c*4) The article was deleted because the information that was presented did not show how Mr Cupper was notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. An article about the person ideally needs to tell what the person did, and, more importantly, show how the person and his accomplishments are important. Simply being "known in several countries" is not enough; the article also needs to cite reliable sources to verify claims made in the article. Other languages have different guidelines for inclusion and are generally independent from this Wikipedia, hence being on another language's Wikipedia does not automatically justify inclusion.
