Only two sources on page, neither reliable (one an interview, the other I'm pretty sure there's a specific rule against but can't remember what it's called), and the rest is pure WP:NOTDIRECTORY vio. QuietHere (talk) 03:52, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Attempts to find GNG compliant sourcing for Brian have been unsuccessful. OP is generally correct regarding both of the existing sources. An argument could be made that he qualifies under criterion 2 of WP:PRODUCER (e.g The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work [emphasis mine]) considering his Emmy nomination ([1]) and his work on Disturbia ([2]), but the sheer lack (that I can find) of secondary sources that give him significant coverage makes me favor deletion. —Sirdog (talk) 07:53, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Ineligible for soft deletion: previously PRODded.

@GB fan care to weigh in as the PROD remover? QuietHere (talk | contributions) 05:30, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article sourcing insufficient, search reveals little other than the usual Discogs type stuff. Awards cited are not for 'best producer' and the argument that the Kennedy Space Centre janitor is actually an astronaut doesn't wash. No RS on offer. Fails WP:GNG.

Delete I would have weighed in with a keep based on his Grammy awards, but the Grammy awards noted in the article are fiction. He was nominated for a Grammy for Disturbia, but did not win (according to Grammy.com ). As for the others, he would have needed to produce/mix/engineer at least 50% of an album to win a Grammy for that album, and he is mainly credited with one or two songs on each.
