James F. Reynolds (mixer)

The two main editors of this article are clearly identifiable as the subject. It is a PR biography. There is only one reliable independent source cited, and that article is no longer available so I can't check it. This is essentially an example of asserted notability by inheritance (literally by inheritance, he's a hereditary baronet, one of many hundreds). None of the sources cited, is independent and reliable. I think this fails WP:GNG but is a very well written advert. Guy (Help!) 13:00, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: I don't think this passes WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO either. The issue is that although Mr. (Sir?) Reynolds has had a chart hit as a member of a musical duo, and has written and produced chart hits for other people, there doesn't seem to be anything demonstrating individual notability. I have a copy of the British Hit Singles book that was referenced in an earlier version of this article, and it refers to the chart position for the Braund Reynolds single, which I can confirm is correct, but then again anyone can confirm this on the Official Charts Company's website, and Mr. Reynolds doesn't inherit notability from the chart placing of the song. The claim that three separate Radio 1 DJs made it their record of the week may be true but is completely unverifiable at this point in time. He is certainly credited as co-writer, producer and/or mixer on all the records stated in the earlier version of the article, but again, that doesn't make him notable if there is no more information other than "mixed by James Reynolds".

 * Delete Only one of the article's available referEnces is WP:RS, Gigwise, and it's not a dedicated piece on Reynolds. The search tools produce zilch. Participation in one hit single doesn't confer WP:NM. Ergo, delete. Tapered (talk) 03:05, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
