Little is known about this producer. Most of the information (all 3 sentences) come from one reference which I'm not convinced sources all of the information given. Per WP:BLP, I'd classify this as a violation of notability. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 16:04, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There is currently one source in the article which confirms his work with the three artists mentioned. There are other sources out there, e.g. MTV, The Source, Billboard. He's at least borderline notable. What exactly is a 'violation of notability' anyway? --Michig (talk) 16:16, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I mean that he hasn't really received coverage as a primary topic. There's information about him working with notable artists, and there's coverage about those artists/songs but as a person he hasn't received extensive coverage. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 16:40, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I found the original Billboard link here and found other results here and here (all recent and the second one mentions a different artist, Dominic Lord). Additional searches at both Google News and Books provided nothing useful. He has certainly associated himself with well-known artists but I think it's probably too soon for now. I have no prejudice towards a future article when there is more in-depth coverage about him. SwisterTwister talk 23:02, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
