Several notable writing credits, but no real biographical sources found. Seems to fail notability. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 05:04, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Everybody on the credits list of a notable album/film/etc doesn't deserve his/her/its own article. Themfromspace (talk) 09:36, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I've added a few sources. Taylor Rhodes has received some brief but non-trivial mentions in newspapers and in Rolling Stone for his work with various artists, and he received a Grammy award nomination. On the basis of WP:MUSIC criterion #1, weak keep. Also, the large number of incoming links may be worth taking into account here too. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 15:38, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: There seems to be adequate sources now, as well as proof of his importance to the music industry, being nominated for major awards and working with important artists and the like. Also, I would wager to bet that his body of work is actually larger than what is currently included in the article. Professional songwriters are often the un-sung heroes of the music industry, and although they may not necessarily be featured heavily in the press, their work is crucial to popular music nonetheless. Regardless, this guy obviously has several sources that mention him, so he's obviously pretty notable. Abog (talk) 21:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: Pops up plenty of places see his BMI page - http://repertoire.bmi.com/writer.asp?blnWriter=True&blnPublisher=True&blnArtist=True&page=1&fromrow=1&torow=25&querytype=WriterID&keyid=286123&keyname=RHODES%20TAYLOR%20LAURENCE&CAE=138877918&Affiliation=ASCAPDeclaniom —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.65.246.64 (talk) 19:06, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
