Eric Holland[edit]

Can't find reliable secondary sources which provide in-depth coverage of this singer-songwriter and music producer, he appears to have slightly less coverage than the Arizona songwriter of the same name [1]. However, it's a common name, additional sources are as always, welcomed. A member of the 5-year-unreferenced-BLP club. joe decker ^{talk to me} 22:20, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: unable to find significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject of this unsourced BLP. J04n(talk page) 23:38, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There are multiple people in the music industry named "Eric Holland" making the search difficult. This compounded by the lack of specifics about his work. The assertion in the article is that his main claim to notability is as a producer. However, there is no indication that he has been noted for his production work, and it is unclear from the article in what capacity he actually did the work. The one specific item of writing and producing a hit single "Your Love Is Slippin' Away" is one that I cannot verify. I cannot verify that it was a bona fide charting single, and I cannot verify that he is the writer and producer of the song. -- Whpq (talk) 13:46, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Almost certain that "Your Love is Slippin' Away" was not a charting single, at least not in a sense that Wikipedia recognizes. There appear to have been releases on two record labels. However, a cursory search online reveals little, if any, chance that the band (The Flames), or either record label (Thrust or Masquerade) could meet notability guidelines. The odds that the single could have charted despite these circumstances are grim. Additionally, I find nothing to indicate that this individual attracted any media attention for whatever specific work he performed. Even fairly permissive searches in connection with the studios named in the article[2][3][4] come up with nothing. I don't have any reason to doubt that he was involved in album production in some technical capacity, but there's just nothing I can find to satisfy WP:N.
