Can't find any good sources; this certainly fails WP:GNG. I'm not sure what other guidelines would apply here. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 01:13, 15 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete. Fails GNG and notability isn't inherited. The article gives the impression he's won a ton of Grammys, but his name doesn't come up in the Past Winners Search. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:55, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep I brought this to BLP because the article was a COI mess, but multiple sites support the Grammy claims--the question is whether enough of them qualify as reliable sources. Article still needs fumigation. 71.241.206.249 (talk) 18:50, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. His own blurb on his own website states "I’ve earned credits on 12 Grammy Winners, 64 Gold & Platinum albums and singles, 41 #1's, and 34 Grammy nominations." (bolding mine) Notice he himself doesn't claim to have actually won or even been nominated. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:07, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay; as is clear from my contributions to the article, I'm not invested on his behalf. But even the lesser claim may be worth something, especially if he's prominently mentioned in multiple reliable sources. If none of those turned up in the Google 'Grammy' search above qualifies, then deletion will be merited. 71.241.206.249 (talk) 23:20, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * (Same user as 71 IP above)...though I voted keep, I'm tired of a WP:SPA that continues to remove the AfD template from the article, adds copyright violation text, and is generally trying to use this as a press release. If the article is kept it'll require editing and oversight to keep COI fingerprints away. 99.149.85.229 (talk) 23:53, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

 * KeepI really don't know how to use this lol but I found him on the grammys on the page http://www.grammy.com/nominees you will see that both singles by FUN has his credits on there. Thats 2 credits and I can do a past search and find about 5 more if I need to :). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.64.3.120 (talk) 11:53, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete The person doesn't claim to have won Grammy's, just to have mixed songs that have won grammy's. However although he certainly exists, he doesn't particularly meet the notability guideline fully. Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 00:07, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete The body of work does not meet notability level. Stormbay (talk) 01:43, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Non notable, should be deleted. Koala15 (talk) 04:09, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep The article can certainly use some work, but that's beside the point. He is named on Grammy nominations, ergo Grammy think he is a significant contributor to the recordings nominated, ergo I think he meets notability criteria. Bondegezou (talk) 08:59, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Doesn't meet WP:GNG (only passing mentions and unreliable sources) or WP:BAND (I think it's a misreading of #8 to think it applies to every single person who's played a role in the creation of a Grammy-winning song or album). – Arms &amp; Hearts (talk) 10:31, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Subject does not meet WP:CREATIVE (never found those Grammy noms for him specifically; while songs he's mixed may be notable, that notability is not inherited). Uaudio "interview" source is corporate site hawking its wares.  Mini  apolis  17:31, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
