Get for real!  Meets GNG for sure, but even more clearly meets  criterion #7, which states: "Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city."  The city, of course, is Detroit.  And the evidence is, e.g., https://www.npr.org/2017/04/27/525542911/first-listen-carl-craig-versus NPR review of Versus: "Detroit's electronic-music deity Carl Craig" or http://mixmag.net/read/carl-craig-in-the-lab-nyc-brandedcontent-dj-lab Mixmag: "the Detroit legend" or https://www.villagevoice.com/2017/07/20/carl-craigs-string-theory-the-detroit-house-pioneer-gets-orchestral/ Village Voice review of Versus: "Detroit Techno veteran Carl Craig." or https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/7759633/carl-craig-at-les-versus-album-interview-2017 Billboard review of Versus: "techno luminary Carl Craig" not to mention http://mixmag.net/read/carl-craig-in-the-lab-ibz-dj-lab Mixmag again: "Arriving onto the scene shortly after the birth of techno as one of the forerunners in Detroit’s second wave, Carl Craig has been leading the way for musical innovation for nearly three decades." Did I say NBAND #7?  Forget it.  Obviously meets GNG with reviews in Billboard, the Village Voice, Mixmag, Clash (magazine)|Clash right here: http://www.clashmusic.com/reviews/carl-craig-versus, a http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/confidential/us-techno-great-carl-craig-on-going-symphonic-musical-snobbery-and-the-business-of-marriage/news-story/7b73ecd2074b4611d23a3b867bd92457?nk=050dc41a1422f77660def572dd2e9d39-1520950569 profile in the Herald Sun, a https://www.ft.com/content/60bd779c-306e-11e7-9555-23ef563ecf9a review in the Financial Times of all places (sorry for paywall), a https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/13/carl-craigs-detroit-love squib in the New Yorker, for God's sake, an interview in Fact (UK magazine)|Fact here: http://www.factmag.com/2017/04/25/carl-craig-versus-interview/, and DJ Mag calls him https://djmag.com/features/zone-carl-craigs-orchestra one of the most important artists in techno, and so on.  Another extraordinarily irresponsible nomination. Special:Contributions/192.160.216.52|192.160.216.52
