Non-notable internet producer (Ward%22 recording engineer%2Fproducer 14 Google results), also may be a Vanity violation Mysekurity 01:06, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This page should be kept. I don't understand why you would advocate deletion, especially after looking at all of your various user pages, which are instrinsically worthless themsleves. This fellow has done many a recording and is a serious engineer with well known work credited to his name . . . he IS a professional. If this page is deleted, I want your user pages deleted alongside it, epsecially since they're nothing more than an attempt at creating a temple to your personal cult of the individual. Im sick of seeing cheap displays of population control on the WWW. You who would be thanatopoliticians in your own bedrooms, if you had even such modicum of power, should stay out of creating a wiki-utopia. This man has attempted to disambiguate himself from the hockey player. Play with your puck in the privacy of your own bedroom. . . . not on wikipedia.
Keep - I agree this may be/may have started off as a vanity thing, but this is not a non notable person in the music industry which in itself is non notable on google. Find me any music producer with an outragous amount of hits in google. I mean this man has done music for Sting, Paul Newman, Social Distortion Primadonnas The Offspring and countless other big name music acts. Joe I 01:11, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- His biggest claim to fame seems to be working on a couple of songs each for a handful of bands, and not even any particularly notable songs. (see [1]) Paul Hardiman he ain't, and we don't even have an article on that guy. Delete Night Gyr 01:13, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - This would be the same as an article about a session musician who plays bass for this or that solo artist. Unless the producer really stands out like Phil Spector or Alan Parsons, sorry, no encyclopedia article. Ruby 01:47, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Actually, I'm wasn't terribly familiar with wikipedia, but while following a string on an artist came across a reference to myself (the potential deletion in question), which led to an article on the professional hockey player of the same name, which I thought was a bit confusing. So after taking a look around and finding 2 or 3 other references to my work (in articles not being considered for deletion btw), I took a version on me that I found under the hockey player string and reposted it under a less confusing and more distinct heading, so there you have it. Do what you will, but if a number of articles on musicians (which are apparently not 'vanity listings') link to a professional hockey player as their recording engineer or producer, how is that helping wikipedia?
