Travis Cherry

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Vanity piece by a sound engineer who appears not to satisfy WP:GNG. Article is full of name-dropping and other unverified credits, and is cites 3 sources, none of which demonstrate his notability Ohconfucius  ¡digame! 06:49, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete- no references unless you count the self published links in the external links and the myspace listed as his website.  He  iro  04:16, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - unfortunately for Mr. Cherry, association with a bunch of notable people is not notability in itself. He'll have to be noticed by third party sources on his own. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 14:12, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The articles for those albums list him. I'm sure someone there checked the label of the product they bought.  Primary sources are fine for this sort of thing.  A music producer is notable if the works he produces are notable, which in this case has happened multiple times.  There is a link in the article already to a magazine which interviewed him.  You have to pay to see the article, but it does list in the contents that he was interviewed in that issue.   D r e a m Focus  08:42, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non-notable biography. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 15:19, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Only 2 of the 11 references actually mention "Travis Cherry", and those sources mention him in a very trivial way. WP:GNG requires "significant coverage".  At this point, the sources only prove that Travis Cherry exists, not that he is notable.    Snotty Wong   chatter 23:07, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I was considering Keep based on the Grammy nominations, but engineers/producers are only included in the nominations for the really big "Record of the Year" type Grammys, the lesser Grammys don't include them in the nominations. Exxolon (talk) 18:39, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment -Just an unbiased correction, they are listed on TV for the bigger records but on the smaller ones, just the album itself. The reason is that on the bigger ones, the producers and engineers receive an actual Grammy if it wins, while on the smaller ones, they are given a plaque for nominations or for a win.Superkat2 (talk) 04:36, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
