Appears to have been nominated many times for a technical Grammy, which I don't think see as notable for wiki. Gsearch is simply a confirmation of where he works. Oaktree b (talk) 02:31, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Oaktree b

Thank you for your feedback. I understand your concern and did some research on other mastering engineer's Wikipedia articles before creating Colin Leonard's. I created this article for Tre Nagella, he is a mixing engineer, which is technical, as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tre_Nagella

As an example here are other mastering engineer's Wikipedia articles. I would not have attempted creating an article for a mastering engineer unless I had reviewed the following articles. Hoping this clears up your concern and thank you for your feedback.

Here are other Wikipedia articles for mastering engineers

Just added: Leonard won a Pensado Award for, Master of Mastering, in 2017 and placed at #2 on Jaxsta's Top Mastering Engineers of 2022 - The world's 50 Most Successful Mastering Engineers of 2022, citing his work with Beyoncé, Cardi B, Wizkid, Charlie Puth, Lil Uzi Vert.^[1][2][3]

Hope this helps to establish his notability. Thanks, Landplane123 (talk) 16:23, 16 June 2023 (UTC)landplane321[reply]

• Keep: nominated for 20 Grammy Awards, I don't care what the category is. J04n(talk page) 00:28, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per WP:MUSICBIO#8 requires 1 Grammy nomination - Leonard has 11. ResonantDis_tortion 17:35, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Do the Grammy nominations still count for WP:MUSICBIO#8 when the subject is the mastering engineer rather than the artist? -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:10, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. As other users have mentioned, this master engineer has been nominated for several Grammy Awards, which appears to count for WP:ANYBIO #1 even if this person does not necessarily fall under WP:MUSICBIO #8. (Courtesy ping for @Kj). The Night Watch (talk) 19:56, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Landplane123's list of precedents and all those Grammy nominations. We have 58 other mastering engineer articles and most are similar.
