The result was Keep per WP:HEY. I'm still not fully convinced, but it's close enough. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Many otters • One hammer • HELP)} 20:04, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wally Wilson[edit]

Tagged as unreferenced since May 2007 with no improvements. I couldn't find any sources that specifically covered him, just trivial mentions like "(name of artist) worked with producer Wally Wilson". He does have a few co-writer's and co-producer's credits to his name, but according to Allmusic none of his production credits was a solo effort, and only three of his cowrites ("That's What I Like About You" by Trisha Yearwood, "Come Cryin' to Me" by Lonestar and "House of Love" by Amy Grant) were singles. I think this is proof that just being a Grammy nominee isn't always enough if there're no sources. If this is deleted, I think that Category:Albums produced by Wally Wilson should be as well.

Keep - Music Business Radio Episode #57 - Wally Wilson, he also is or or more likely was the president of this agency, working for several notable artists. His credits not only include producing, but also playing keyboards (especialy piano) and singing [1]. 2002 BMI Country Awards Winner and some other hits on Billboard. --Avant-garde a clue-hexa Chord ² 09:03, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the production credits are for Greatest Hits/Super Hits albums that simply contained tracks that he produced (as he produced the studio album, but didn't actually produce the Greatest Hits). The Billboard hits only list albums that he produced as well, and I don't see a mention of him on the Skyline page. None of the sources gives more than a listing.

He seems to be still in the chair: [2] [3] [4]. --Avant-garde a clue-hexa Chord ² 19:08, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't see how that's a notable position, as Skyline Music doesn't seem to be notable. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Many otters • One hammer • HELP)} 19:13, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We still have only one source that's directly about him. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Many otters • One hammer • HELP)} 00:48, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grammy nominees are notable more often than not. For someone whose career peaked in the 1990s, it's important to search beyond just Internet-based sources. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 04:35, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
