I've had no takers so far.

I've occasionally commented on Australian music AFDs saying "hello,
expert here, this stuff is not in Google but it is in printed books.
Mine are in Australia, I'm in London. But yes, this is notable and
shouldn't be deleted. I'll see if I can fix it up." So far they've
been kept.
