Non-notable music producer. The best source I found during WP:BEFORE is this interview: [1]. Mottezen (talk) 22:41, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Doesn't meet threshold required by GNG. Besides aforementioned interview, which doesn't really count, I similarly couldn't find much. WP:NMUSIC doesn't seem like it really fits; if someone has worked on notable albums but all they have is a credit, I don't really think that's enough.

• Comment. I am on the fence with this one. In the absence of an NMUSIC guide for producers, WP:CREATIVE seems to be the most logical policy guideline. Given the long list of notable artists and albums he has worked on (several of which either won or were nominated for a Grammy Award), I could see a valid argument that he "has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work" under criteria 3 of that guideline. However, in order to assert that I think we would need to look more closely at what his actual contributions to all those listed albums were. This should probably be relisted for others to comment.4meter4 (talk) 19:13, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
