Delete: Links do not produce the verification of Notability. Even if the subject of this article has worked with a celebrity, that still doesn't prove notability. I have found nothing at BillBoard Mag. that gives him credit for any of those major releases. However, I did find this at Discogs - One Last Chance which appears to be the only "proof" of working on that record. Unfortunately, it is an underground dance promo vinyl record, one that is not even listed on Epic's release catalog. The official release is here and needless to say that Fordyce appears on nothing at BM and it does not help establish the claim at the article page that "Since 2003, FORD has earned 19 Multi-Platinum, Platinum, and Gold RIAA sales awards for mixing and producing artists including Michael Jackson". Even if all the other big name records were produced in similar circumstances, it does not give him any proof of notability WP:N. At this point, the only thing that could give legitimacy and notability as a producer would be the Recording Academy's list of Grammy nominations, or a review or an interview on a reputable magazine like "Mix", Keyboard Online, etc, etc.  Jrod2 (talk) 10:08, 27 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.
