Point two, he has released "two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels" as producer. Regarding WP:COMPOSER, Tawlks has "credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition." Naturally, a producer doesn't seem as notable as an artist, but given his roster of collaborations, I would argue that he does meet the notability guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshalxwarren (talk • contribs) 13:20, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Thanks for the thoughts, everyone. I oppose the articles for deletion and would argue that this page should be kept, as Tawlks meets the guidelines for notability as outlined in WP:MUSICBIO and WP:COMPOSER. Specifically, point one: "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself." The references of this article contain many non-trivial sources, such as Paste Magazine, Nashville Scene, and Lightning 100.
 * Lots of references are passing mentions. Looking at them:
 * Ref 1 is a passing mention all the while moving in the same circles as Micah Tawlks
 * Ref 2 is a passing mention This time around producers Kevin Dailey (of Civil Twilight) and Micah Tawlks join him
 * Ref 3 is a passing mention brainchild of producer Micah Tawlks
 * Ref 4 show in the first track.
 * Ref 5 Micah Tawlks 	Engineer
 * Ref 6 Cold Answer: written by Matthew Perryman Jones & Caitlin Rose/Produced by Micah Tawlks
 * The rest the references as a producer. Consensus on Wikipedia is that procedures are really not notable. There is a reference on Mother Jones: stated Micah Tawlks, a producer who works with the likes of Matthew Perryman Jones, and Isaaca Byrd, a bassist and backup vocalist for a range of artists, cranked out the bulk of the EP in three weeks USA Today has another passing mention, “‘Giving Up’ was produced by Micah Tawlks and myself  On Instagram  he has 1600 followers, so no social presence. On Soundcloud  he has 42 follower. So he is no musician, he is a producer and he is non-notable.   scope_creep Talk  19:21, 22 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete all sources seem to be passing or otherwise trivial mentions, and the person isn't automatically notable just because of who they work with. So, I see nothing here that would make them notable enough for an article. --Adamant1 (talk) 19:23, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
