I'm not sure if this composer is notable as the best my searches found were passing mentions here and here and one Highbeam result along with a WCA page here. My searches also found close results for a Peter/Pieter Vermeersch but that seems to be someone else but also from Belgium (I added details to my search but a simple News search finds other people with the name Vermeersch). Good sources may exist in French but I'm not a fluent speaker and I'm definitely not a speaker of Dutch and German. SwisterTwister talk 18:24, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, definitely notable. International Representative Board Director of the International Clarinet Association.(1) President of the European Clarinet Association(2)(3) and formerly vice-president of the same association. Has published and co-published multiple articles, including "Kacheri: The Bass Clarinet Concerto That Unites Cultures" in Vol. 24 Issue 2 of the periodical The Clarinet Journal (together with Hans Vermeersch) and "Ever Buree: The Mongolian Clarinet" in Vol. 35, Issue 1 of the periodical The Clarinet Journal (together with David Gresham and Khishgee Nordog)(4). The Clarinet Journal is published by the International Clarinet Association. Has given several lectures and workshops, including at the Royal Northern College of Music(5) Translation of the title: "Knokke-Heist clarinettist Stephan Vermeersch in the UK" and at the International ClarinetFest 2012(6). For yet more sources, just look at this PDF: [1] Sure, it's hosted on his own site, but it's basically a compilation of articles he published in periodicals, articles published on him, interviews with him and music programme booklets he was listed in—the great majority of which are independent sources that he simply collected into a single PDF. The article is an absolute mess, though, I'll grant you that. I'll see what I can do about that if I can find some spare time. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 20:08, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
