Producer with no coverage. Fails WP:PRODUCER and WP:NMUSICIAN. Fails WP:SIGCOV. No indication of notability. scope_creep^Talk 00:59, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There's already coverage cited in the article, and there are reviews of his album from WYCE and Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Google Books suggests more coverage exists. --Michig (talk) 09:51, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Google book references are mostly producer credits and are effectively passing mentions and the one small para in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer isn't the sufficiently in-depth, reliable, independent and secondary source that is needed for a BLP. If there was several reviews + sufficient coverage to validate the article, perhaps, but I don't see it. Producers per consensus generally don't make it on Wikipedia, so it needs to show he is a real musician. Currently he has 125 monthly listeners on Spotify, nothing on Soundcloud, Napster, Amazon music and no social media presence. scope_creep^Talk 10:12, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And there is not whisper on Google News. scope_creep^Talk 11:00, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment am neutral on this one but there is no consensus that music producers should be excluded from Wikipedia; it's just that many of them receive sparse coverage. When one does pass WP:GNG there is nothing blocking their inclusion, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 19:50, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yip, your right. Not consensus. More a, habit as they tend not to have coverage. scope_creep^Talk 19:57, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in addition to the PopMatters piece already in the article, I was able to find another review on this Italian website, which from putting the article through google translate looks to provide SIGCOV. I reckon that combined, this sourcing is enough to pass GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:04, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
