Despite 72 refs, none appear to be both independent and reliable. I can see nothing here which conveys notability. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 22:27, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep There is enough coverage of his work, for example for "Humble and Kind", "It Ain’t My Fault" , "Drunk on a Plane" , and his videos have won many major Country Music awards . Should pass WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. Hzh (talk) 14:13, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - there are enough sources to show notability. It needs quite a bit of cleanup, which I started. Bearian (talk) 02:44, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Multiple major award winner as director of several videos of the year. Clearly a major director in the music video industry. I think sometimes we go very easy on performers, and are extremely picky when it comes to the people who direct, rather than perform. He will never be as famous as Garth Brooks, but as a video director he is very much so. --Hammersoft (talk) 21:31, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not convinced this meets notability guidelines, but don't plan to !vote. Regarding "we go very easy on performers" - there is an important distinction: performers are inherently public figures, and get secondary coverage as a result.  Producers are not inherently public figures and often do not get any coverage.  power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 03:01, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear; I wasn't suggesting we should be lenient on less public figures and expect less in the way of notability. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:56, 24 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep, per above. There's always the risk of judging people in the music industry differently because they get written about more, but I don't think that's the case here. /Julle (talk) 20:54, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
