Donnie Scantz

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO and WP:MUSICBIO. Unable to locate any biographical details in reliable secondary sources.

As for his Grammy nominations, he is listed here, along with 10 other "Engineers/Mixers".

On Confessions (Usher album), he was credited as an engineer.

He was one of four producers of Out of Eden, which won a Dove Award, see.

This biography does not appear to meet the threshold of notability. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:24, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Lacks in-depth coverage from reliable sources. The artist's Grammy nominations would have qualified him for an article if there were more sources describing the artist himself. Right now, the article is mostly a production discography because there are no such sources. Newslinger (talk) 22:35, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I’m not sure the importance of the Grammy nominations. While he does have an entry at grammy.com, his involvement in the nominated project (The track “Yeah” from Usher’s Album “Confessions”) is one of many hands who also received nominations for the same music. There are 15 people given “producer” credits (this subject not among them) for the album as a whole. For the “Yeah” song in particular, Jonathan ‘Lil Jon’ Smith is credited as the producer; this subject gets co-credit for producing the vocals. While that’s enough to be listed on the Grammy nomination, it’s really more of luck to be attached to someone else's larger contribution. As for other sources to determine notability, they are all just AllMusic/Discogs type lists of credits. The subject is obviously a competent working professional associated with many notable recording artists, but lacking additional significant third party recognition, he’s really just run-of-the-mill.
