Non-notable record producer. References are all just links to song credits or articles listing song credits. Some refs don't mention article subject at all. Article is mostly just a list of known artists who worked with article subject once -- | Uncle Milty | talk | 03:40, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• (Response to Uncle Milty - He has had a song on the number 1 album in germany, His Yuna lullabies remix was in national radio rotation on SirusXM for over a year, He scored a song in the movie "The Other Woman" starring Cameron Diaz which was a box office number 1, has had songs released on at least 2 major record labels { Lil Wayne/Republic Records and Estelle/BMG} and every reference mentions him). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.91.92.129 (talk) 16:37, 27 March 2016‎

  1. What song did he write and/or perform that was on what #1 album in Germany?

  2. Odd that it appears that the Adventure Club remix looks to be so much more popular.

  3. "Scored"? No. From what I can find he provided "additional production" to one song on that soundtrack. "Scored" would mean he composed/arranged it. He didn't.

  4. Artists he worked for "had songs released on at least 2 major record labels". That could be notable, if he personally received some high-profile accolades for it.

  5. The Wikipedia articles you've included as references don't mention him. The other mentions of him are just that, mentions. It takes more than a mere credit listing as producer to achieve notability. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 17:14, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep

• 1: The subject did have a number 1 album for "Cemesis" in Germany producing the single "SINTFLUT" for Summer Cem which was released under Warner/Chappell. https://www.offiziellecharts.de/album-details-293591
• Proof of credit: http://genius.com/Summer-cem-sintflut-lyrics

• 2: The subject did, in fact, have his "Lullabies" remix in rotation on Sirius XM Chill which is syndicated worldwide. https://twitter.com/siriusxmchill/status/429412137669505024
• Here's a picture with further proof: https://twitter.com/thefuturemoguls/status/635638582326239232
• Reporting statistics show that he's averaging 15 spins/week on Sirius alone: http://dogstarradio.com/search_playlist.php?artist=myles+william&title=&channel=&month=&date=&shour=&sampm=&stz=&ehour=&eampm=&tdate=201612 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snacklord (talk • contribs) 17:50, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• 3: Per Wikipedia's criteria for a work that is notable there is no mention of the criteria for "scored" only "performed", which the subject had a role in the creation.

• 4: The accolade was that the subject was a part of an album that debuted on the Billboard R&B chart at #14. http://imallyuk.com/us-charts-nicki-minajs-truffle-butter-certified-top-20-hit-on-billboard-hot-100/

• 5: Without producers there would be no lyrics in music, publishing on records is split 50/50. 50% goes to the songwriter and 50% is received by producer. My point in that statement is that it's deeper than a mere credit listing.

Based on these facts the subject meets multiple areas within Wikipedia's criteria for notability. --Snacklord (talk) 22:40, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete for now and Draft if needed as the current article is still questionable so unless better coverage can actually be found, the current article is still questionable for keeping. SwisterTwister talk 04:41, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  being just one of many producers. Bearian (talk) 20:24, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply

• Keep 1: The subject does meet the criteria that wikipedia declares "notable". He actually meets almost all of them, not just one or two. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.189.146.117 (talk) 15:36, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - clearly does not meet
  WP:GNG, searches turned up no in-depth coverage from reliable, independent sources. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 20:21, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply
