Does not meet WP:GNG, coverage is largely limited to Q&A interviews and press releases. The two best sources currently available for building a case for notability are [1] and [2], which don't add up to GNG. I wasn't able to find additional coverage online. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 21:06, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

• Delete - This one is a close call because he has done a lot of things that have earned brief media mentions, but I agree with the nominator on how it doesn't quite add up to notability. He has gotten some reliable but brief mentions in stories on songs that he produced for others (such as the Locnville et al. track), and he has a lot of appearances in lists of his scene's producers. Unfortunately those sources are almost always indirect or trivial, and he remains a few steps away from notability in his own right. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 22:12, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
• Delete the coverage is not such to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:03, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
• Keep the Article covers a non-performing personnel subject and can be better improved to meet GNG criteria. Producers have limited coverage by default due to their background nature. The subject however has a presence and as a producer warrants some notability especially in the South African Music scene. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pen Bull (talk • contribs) 09:03, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

  The thing about notability is that at the end of the day, we need independent coverage the write an article. It may be unfair that producers don't get enough credit for their work, but there really isn't much that we can do in the absence of coverage. If you can find significant independent coverage in secondary sources then you can make a case for notability. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 15:12, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

• Delete: GNG fail, as well as fails WP:CREATIVE. The only valid response to "Producers have limited coverage by default due to their background nature" is "That is why producers generally do not qualify for Wikipedia articles." Ravenswing 03:29, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
