Subject is a music producer. Sources are either interview pieces, IMBD, or merely passing mention. No source found on in dept or direct talk about Burman. Fails WP:CREATIVE. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 03:02, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Author of the article here, so my POV on this matter is clear already! There aren’t clear guidelines on notability for music producers in the same way that there are for just musicians, however, Burman very clearly has "created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work” as specified in WP:Creative #3. His work with most notably with Nickelback - which has been recognized by Billboard - but also with dozens of other artists as an A&R supports this. Being the President of a notable label, and being hired to speak at notable organizations and events further supports his credibility and notability. Finally, I would note that articles on other A&Rs use similar sourcing, such as Loren Israel. I can’t deny that some of the articles used are merely passing mention and that there isn’t much in-depth discussion *on* him, but I think he passes based on point #3 of WP:Creative as a record label executive and A&R.

Heartgears Hi, "his work with Nickelback" was merely passing mention (1 sentence in the article) and the article did not "directly in dept" talk about Mr. Burman which what notability guidelines required. If you could find reliable and independent source to support that, then add them in the article. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 23:16, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: does not meet WP:ANYBIO; significant RS coverage not found. What comes up is passing mentions and / or WP:SPIP, not sufficient for a BLP. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:21, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
