Comment. Seems a lot of WP:SPIP has been going on in the article's creation and edit history. The Dallas Weekly states that he received a Grammy nomination in 2000 and has had 5 Billboard Jazz top-10 discs. Maybe someone can find references for these. Billboard charts turn up nothing on Baldwin; even the link used in the article turns up zero results. The claims that he is a Grammy nominee also seems possibly untrue – WVAS.FM states that he co-wrote and co-produced two songs on the 2000 album "All the Man You Will Need" by Will Downing that was was nominated for a Grammy, not that Baldwin was nominated. I can't determine if he's notable or not, however. ExRat (talk) 09:36, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as has significant reliable sources coverage such as this staff written AllMusic bio here] and confirmation of his hit jazz records [here] that shows a pass of WP:NMUSIC criteria 2 (only one criteria needed) so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 01:27, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
