There is no indication of notability. I have checked all of the references given; only one of them does more than give his name as a credit, and the one exception is a page on the website of a record company for which he has recorded. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:23, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:32, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. As a producer and record compamy owner, he has worked successfully with Kathryn Tickell, Tony Capstick, Mike Harding and others. The page needs improving and better references can be found. Cjc13 (talk) 19:01, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Comment Notability is not inherited: Heslop may have worked with a number of notable people, but unless there is substantial independent coverage of him he is not himself notable. To say "better references can be found" is not much help: actually finding these "better references" would be. The link given by Cjc13 is to a write up of a press release. The reference situation is still exactly as I described it above: not a single one of them is to an independent source which does more than give his name in a credit. One of them does not mention him at all. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:11, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The link is to a newspaper article, not a press release. He has contributed to the work of others as a producer, producing 4 of Kathryn Tickell's albums for instance. He has had various business ventures such as Black Crow Records and Redesdale Studios and has been part of the Northumbrian music scene for many years. Cjc13 (talk) 09:32, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
