SPA (record exec, maybe Vassal himself) created. Spam/vanity. All the sources are passing mentions, none significant coverage, in spite of there being an insane number of them. Being listed as "producer" in a number of places doesn't pass GNG. For disclosure, I've previously salted another version of this article after it was recreated many times as a copy vio.

 * Comment - Is having produced a Grammy-nominated song enough for notability per WP:MUSIC? Bearian (talk) 17:13, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The song he produced was nominated for 'Best Female R&B Vocal Performance' rather than production values and he got no obvious coverage out of it in reliable sources. So apparently not. Stuartyeates (talk) 17:30, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
