Howdy!

I'm honestly making this submission with something of a heavy heart, as I've prolly put in a few collective days of work into tryin' to source and improve this article. It survived two attempts at speedy deletion and a proposed deletion on the basis of the subject's promisin' international career. However, after searching high and low, from JSTOR to Naxos to, well, Google, I've dug up hardly anything at all about Mr. le Roux, let alone notable coverage. While he's no doubt got an enviable career, it doesn't seem to me that this performer meets the notability requirements for a Wikipedia article. But of course, I'm more than happy to be corrected!

Comment: I don't see any notable productions that he has performed in, except for possibly this: "In 2013, he sang in the world premiere of the Philip Glass opera The Lost, at the opening of the Linz opera house." Glass is an important composer, and singing a role in the premiere of one of his operas (though a very obscure one) is something, but it was not a long run, and the rest of his career seems to be in non-notable productions. So far, I'd say Delete, unless someone finds something major. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:55, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
