Ted Hamelin
Is this about Sonica or Ted. Sonica MAY be notable, perhaps, with the downloads. This article shows little notability for Ted. Avi 21:22, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Ted Hamelin Jr. hails from Vancouver and is a ten year veteran of the industry. Ted brings a tremendous amount of experience to Sonica. A seasoned producer with a major label background and years of roadwork sharing bills with the likes of Our Lady Peace, Tragically Hip, Tripping Daisy etc; Ted was previously nominated for "PRODUCER OF THE YEAR" up against heavyweights Bruce Fairburn, Bob Rock and Stephen Drake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Solidgold (talk • contribs)


 * Delete. There are 18 google hits for Ted Hamelin. It is clear that he wrote a number of songs, however I doubt whether they will make him notable enough even though is probably a good songwriter/producer and a valid asset to a band. The article is mainly about Sonica and that band might be notable, but maybe you need to check Notability (music). Dr Debug (Talk) 22:01, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Ted Hamelin wrote songs which have compiled over 250,000 downloads. The song "SOS" pushed Lincoln Park out of the #1 spot on the power pop top 100 in the world on mp3.com. All verified. There have been numerous Canadian television shows documenting this. Ted Hamelin was also nominated for producer of the year for producing the Tone cd "Brand New Lunatic". This indie cd broke the top 100 chart in Canada and was in major rotation on Toronto's #1 modern rock station the Edge. He was up against Bruce Fairburn who produced AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue etc. Do Not Delete per WP:MUSIC looking at qualifications qualifies in atleast 3 areas.
