I am well aware that notability is not inherited. However, a book edited by legendary rock producer George Martin has to be considered a reliable source on rock music, and when he chooses to profile a musician, that goes toward notability. As our Wikipedia article accurately states, Martin "is considered one of the greatest record producers of all time, with 30 number one hit singles in the UK and 23 number one hits in the USA." Here's a quote from Making music: the guide to writing, performing & recording, published in 1983: "Geraint Watkins was born in South Wales and played in bands there before moving to London where he joined various groups, including Juice on the Loose, on the pub circuit. In 1978 he recorded a solo album produced by Andy Fairweather Low. In 1978 he recorded a solo album produced by Andy Fairweather Low. From 1979-1981 he toured and played with Shakin' Stevens; since then he has been working with Dave Edmunds." Note that this book was published 28 years ago, and the references found by Carrite and Michig also demonstrate his ongoing notability over the decades. Admittedly, he is not a household name, but he is a session musician with a long and illustrious career, and is more than worthy of a Wikipedia article in my opinion, which is informed by our policies and guidelines.
