Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allen Ritter (2nd nomination)
see comment a few bullets below) '''Delete''' ... ''reluctantly'' (but very tempted to say '''Keep per '''). This is one of those textbook perfect cases of where Wikipedia's rules work ''correctly'' to prevent an article being written about a man who has made (and been recognized for) substantial contributions in his industry. The discography of his work is impressive. But at Wikipedia we only write about what others have said/written on the topic. This guy has had nothing written about him as a person and what has been written about him is a great many little recognition blurbs on many individual work projects. His WORK is extremely notable '''''as a body''''' but nobody has written about that body as a whole. So clearly the work of this man is also not notable despite its enormous value to many people in the music industry and to the consumers of those projects he worked on. Technically there is not enough material to write on the guy but it seems a shame to delete this article. Some major magazine like Billboard or Rolling Stone needs to do an in-depth interview with the guy so he can have an article here
