J Gramm

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:BASIC. Almost no coverage in reliable secondary sources. Just scant mentions of his name. Fails WP:ANYBIO. Unable to confirm his Grammy nomination (though notability requires multiple nominations). NOTE: record producers are not mentioned in WP:NMUSIC.

Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. The YoRapper and Complex references don't even mention J Gramm, and they are just about the two best sources in the article. As far as I can tell, the "Grammy nomination" is for Wiz Khalifa's Blacc Hollywood album... but the link is tenuous – J Gramm was one of many producers who contributed to the album, and his contribution consists of co-writing and co-producing a bonus track on a limited edition of the album that was exclusively released through Target stores. I don't believe this confers enough notability to be considered a "Grammy nominee", particularly as the nomination is for the album and the performer. As has been stated above, the other mentions in the sources amount to little more than "produced by J Gramm", and are not RS. Richard3120 (talk) 17:32, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nothing here is a strong pass of WP:NMUSIC (being a producer of one track on a Grammy-nominated album is not a claim of notability in and of itself, if the subject is not personally a listed nominee for the award for Best Producer), and none of the sourcing is solid enough to pass WP:GNG.
