John Hill (record producer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability questionable. Almost all links are promotional, as discussed on WP:COIN. Per WP:MUSIC, not notable. If he'd actually won a GRAMMY, instead of just being nominated...

 * Delete: Notability questionable as per above, and also nothing substantive in the article beyond a list of records produced 79616gr (talk) 21:32, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Having read Binksternet's references he does seem to qualify per Notability (music). 79616gr (talk) 05:17, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: No major awards, no major articles, just a long list of products with which he had some association. John Nagle (talk) 23:12, 17 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep. The guy is notable even though his agency, the author of this biography, failed to prove it. Per Notability (music), Hill's biography should be kept because he has been a key part of several hit singles including "Can't Remember to Forget You" and "She Wolf", both of which he co-wrote. Below are some references that can be used to expand the article. Binksternet (talk) 23:14, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep One WP:MUSICBIO criteria: "Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award." There is little reason not to extend this rationale to record producers. --Neil N  talk to me 21:24, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - the fact that he has been nominated for a Gramy satisfies criterion #8 of WP:MUSICBIO. --ceradon ( talk  •  contribs ) 01:11, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
