Kevin Killen

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability concerns, as well as promotional tone. The Grammys and other awards are probably sufficient to stave off an A7, but I don't they're enough to constitute automatic notability; I think they were all awarded to albums that Killen had worked on, not necessarily to specifically Killen himself. The only cited source is his agent's firm (who almost certainly wrote the Wikipedia article), and a basic search for more sources turned up nothing significant (and a lot of apparent static from other people with the same name). The article is certainly promotional in tone, though it is perhaps not so unsalvageable that it warrants G11. Regardless of that, though, I'm not overly familiar with the music business, so I'd certainly like to hear more opinions. Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 19:29, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment. Per grammy.com, Killen is one of the four named winners for the best Latin album award won by Shakira's Oral Fixation.  That website doesn't appear to have search functionality for nominations so I couldn't check those.  Possibly of more weight to this discussion, here are a couple of book chapters relating to him, which appear to be reprints of interviews in (1) Mix  and (2) Musician magazines. .  GBooks seems to have more content of this sort. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:58, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
