James Wright (music producer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This BLP lacks any citations whatsoever. Epeefleche (talk) 04:45, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Despite having been in existence since 2009, and tagged as being a BLP without any citations since January. Editors may recall, we did a sweep in April 2010 in which all BLPs that lacked citations were deleted (after notice).  The reason that I came across this article, is that I was curious--given positions taken by the article creator at an AfD--what his criteria for article creation were. I came immediately upon this one.  Just the sort of article we've been busily deleting on a project-wide basis--a wholly unreferenced BLP. I don't seen the RS-support for this article that would reflect notability, though I've looked.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:07, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Though I do see that someone purporting to be his wife just posted a picture purportedly of him that she says she took for his Wikipedia page to the article.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:05, 26 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep, Deleting a page because it is unsourced is not that intelligent. It would be better to try and find sources which should be possible for someone like this who has been around for a long time and has notable productions including "All for You" by Janet Jackson. --Lil-unique1 (talk) 04:55, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Added AfD#Step1 - nominating author forgot to do this and added CSD instead.--Lil-unique1 (talk) 05:02, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah I see so because I nominated an article you wish to keep you've searched for an article that I've edited to nom. it for deletion. How very ironic. Just to clarify I don't actually edit this article and although I am listed as the creator I only actually moved the article (check article history). It would really help if you quit making references to other articles all the time. At times yes it can be useful but each AfD has to address the subject at hand as each article will have different levels of notability. That's all I'm going to say right now because I don't want to be seen as refactoring others' comments.--Lil-unique1 (talk) 05:14, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep, I was understanding that unsourced pages were deleted because they were unnotable. But this producer is very notable. Candy  o32  05:08, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. I'm struggling to find any significant coverage here. Allmusic confirms that he (or at least a James Wright) has worked on some of the albums listed, but he appears to be a session musician/studio hand and in most cases is one of dozens of people to contribute to these albums. Much of the article fails WP:Verifiability. This needs evidence of significant coverage if it's going to stay.--Michig (talk) 06:50, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete unless sources can be found to satisfy WP:V and to at least confirm some aspect of WP:N.--Michig (talk) 06:25, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete this unsourced WP:BLP.  A thorough search is only finding trivial mentions, such as this one.  Similar results with Google news archive.  He has worked with many notable folks but I'm finding no coverage of him. It says that he has won three Grammys but I cant even find coverage when combing his name with 'Grammy'.

 * Delete per . Because this biography of a living person has not received the nontrivial coverage required to satisfy Notability (people) and Verifiability, this article should be deleted. Cunard (talk) 01:17, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
