A producer who appears to fail "WP:SINGER". There are hits in RS (e.g., [1]), but all I can find are either passing mentions or interviews. I'm sure some of his—apparently very many—productions have charted, but I'm skeptical that a producer without substantial independent coverage passes criteria 2–3 of WP:SINGER. Many people are involved in creating pop hits, so singling out a producer for an article when there's little coverage of him in particular seems unreasonable IMO.

He did the vocals on Tell Me Why (Supermode song) which was a big hit internationally, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:49, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Being the singer on one hit doesn't rise to the level of notability, and none of the sources in the article are usable to that end either. BD2412 T 00:56, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Tell Me Why (Supermode song), given that's where he derives a claim to notability from. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 13:53, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
