I do not know if we consider a Grammy for production of an album as sufficient for notability ; if not, there's no other clear notability DGG ( talk ) 01:57, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the rule of thumb is generally that if they're mentioned in relation to the award, we count it. (IE, group nominations that list him on the Grammy website or in multiple RS) Otherwise it doesn't really count since a lot of people will be on the team that produced the album and we can't count every person.

For musicians, winning multiple Grammy Awards is a very strong indication of notability, and, with regard to Tokyogirl79's point, he is mentioned by name for at least two of them: see this search of the Grammy website, and I'm finding him listed in multiple RS for those wins as well. As for significant coverage, I think that this (which was also distributed nationally on the McClatchy-Tribune news service) and this are significant. Just on the notability question, I would suggest a "keep", but given the possible copyright issues and the promotion, I'm unsure if it would be better to start this article from scratch after a deletion.
