Ted Carfrae

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable record producer. While the article asserts that Carfrae has worked with a lot of big names, it does NOT assert that his work has been recognized independently. No awards. No independent press coverage. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:35, 15 May 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:29, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Per above, it also seems to fail NPOV with a section calling him a "Pioneer".-- SKATER  T. 12:47, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 *  Weak keep. The article needs to be far, far, better referenced (right now I'm looking at Cilla Black's website, an industry advert, and an IP address that may or may not be MSN music). Be that as it may, this is a producer who has worked with numerous notable musicians (and whose work has received awards, even if he hasn't per se). I'm hoping that the article creator (and sole contributor) will find more and better references. If they do, I may change my !vote to a 100% keep; if they don't, I'm afraid I'm going to be shifting to delete.

 * Keep – is notable through association with the artists he has produced. Plenty of refs out there to be had to prove it. The albums he produced sold fairly well; although he may not have won any awards for them directly, the artists may have, or at least have for other works. On these facts alone, I would say notability is attained. – B.hotep •talk• 18:29, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - As Drawn Some notes, notability isn't based on who they are associated with that is notable. Without significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, subject is not notable. لenna  vecia  13:48, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - No reliable sources to establish notability. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 00:49, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
