Could it be ...

... that there are so few interested in record production, otherwise it would be great mixing some collaboration into the collaboration? My76Strat (talk) 00:21, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to introduce my new signature. Enjoy. 76Strat ^String da _Broke da (talk) 23:15, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

I would suppose most are happy to look at wider projects like "albums" or "singles". Small record labels are obscure, take a lot of research and often end up deleted. Moreover we have a systemic failing in that companies absorbed into large companies often loose any individual existence on WP. This can be seen very well with the crass way all the (former) EMI labels were munged into one, both as category and as article entities. Rich Farmbrough, 01:11, 2 August 2012 (UTC).

I agree with you Rich and that is why I am committed to this project. We have some leverage to correct these shortfalls and that is what we are steadfast in doing. It won't happen overnight but I am confident it will happen. And we are making progress. I am happy that our membership has increased and we have some highly motivated and capable members. I just started the Member talk page and will ask all members to watchlist that page and be responsive when any member posts a comment or suggestion. I'll also do whatever I can to encourage members to bring their ideas forward. Collectively we can achieve some creative solutions to mitigate the adverse conditions that affect this topic. And I'm counting on you to help lead some of the efforts. I have some ideas, but I'd like to hear yours, and the others as well. Then we'll be well on our way.

I'd gently suggest that few people see much point in this project (founded in 2012) when there is an existing WP:WikiProject Professional sound production that has been going since 2006? In fact a formal merger might be sensible rather than duplicate effort. 86.29.123.137 (talk) 00:57, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

HighBeam Research

HThis user had access to HighBeam through The Wikipedia Library.

I have been granted a 1 year access pass to information through HighBeam Research. To the extent possible I will use this access to assist users interested in record production, locating, at times hard to find sources. Requests can be published here or my talk page. Cheers - 76Strat ^String da _Broke da (talk) 01:07, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Chemical Sound Studios

Over at Chemical Sound Studios, a former recording studio in Toronto, an anon keeps adding a list of bands which supposedly recorded there. That list isn't even close to the list the studio itself has on its web site.. The anon always comes in from the same IP block, but with a new address each time, so there's no way to reach them. They don't respond to edit comments or the talk page. I don't know enough about the subject to know if the info is correct or bogus. Advice? --John Nagle (talk) 05:44, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing this here for consideration. I'll certainly have a look endeavoring to bring stability into the flux. Ultimately the sensible guidelines for referencing content and a readers ability to verify the content remain dominate. Hopefully we can reach the user and resolve contentions through discourse, but it may deem itself necessary to semi-protect the article. I will post comments on the article's talk page after reviewing it, to seek input from interested contributors. There will be additional eyes involved with monitoring the page which will at minimum ensure disruption is addressed timely. Thank you again, for your diligence, and if you are at all interested, please join this project, which is a bit understaffed at present; plenty to do. Cheers. 76Strat ^String da _Broke da (talk) 15:44, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Vital articles

There is a discussion occuring here regarding which music articles should be deemed vital to the Wikipedia project. Your input would be appreciated. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 22:18, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

We need to have everybody focus on doing a better job documenting important music executives and record producers that are active today. This will help to give the project a much better scope, making it more educational and enjoyable for readers. Zachtron (talk) 14:29, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Request for opinions

While this is not a formal RFC, some additional input would be welcome at Talk:Timbaland production discography. There's a little edit war going on about the benefits of a section that lists all singles again in that article. So far there's no real discussion but I don't see how blocks would be useful right now, so I've fully protected the page. If you feel inclined please weigh in at that talk page.

WP:VG comments subpages cleanup

Hi, there is currently a discussion taking place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games#VG comments subpages regarding whether it would be acceptable to permanently shift all comments subpages associated with WP:VG articles into talk. This shift would follow the recommended approach given at WP:DCS. The WikiProject Record Production articles that would be affected by this action are these:

• Kurtis Mantronik

If you have objections related specifically to WikiProject Record Production's use of these subpages, please make this clear at the discussion so that other unrelated talk pages can be cleaned up where appropriate. Thank you. -Thibbs (talk) 15:56, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Debut album redirect

I know little to nothing about the music industry, so I'm just throwing this out here for consideration. Debut album is currently a redirect to the 'Music' section of the Debut disambiguation page which lists individual albums titled Debut. I don't think that this is the proper target for the redirect - I just removed Debut album wikilinks from Sinner City and Steve Anderson (musician) because the intended meaning was 'first album' and there is nothing on the Debut disambiguation page about that. There is Debut novel for books and Debut issue for comic books; maybe there needs to be a concept article about first albums? Leschnei (talk) 15:24, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Your observation is keen Leschnei, there are indeed problems with the page structure of Debut (disambiguation). I'll either fix it or have its topic discussed. Thank you for mentioning these things so that we can move to improve areas where improvement is needed.--John Cline (talk) 09:50, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Are record producers composers?

Are all record producers composers, as currently shown here at Category:Record producers? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:31, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Certainly some are, but inherently I would say: all are not.. The category should be removed.--John Cline (talk) 20:08, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Are there two Jimmy Millers?

There has been some low-level to and fro reverting activity for over a year now at the Jimmy Miller article regarding claims of domestic violence by Kerri-Anne Kennerley. Here are some examples: 07Jul2019, 06Jul2019, 01Sep2018, also 01Sep2018 and 02May2018. Some editors claim they are family members of Miller and deny the pair were ever married, or say that there is a second record producer by the same name. If this is the case, it would be good if a reliable source could be found as confirmation, and perhaps added to the article, so that others (such as myself) are less likely to make inaccurate edits. Hoping someone with more knowledge than me of the US record production scene can help. Thanks. Meticulo (talk) 17:12, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Glyn Johns article

The Glyn Johns article has now been rated GA, but I do not see that reflected for WikiProject Record Production on the template at the top of the talk page. A producer/engineer of his caliber should have a WikiProject Record Production rating mentioned there. GloryRoad66 (talk) 20:50, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Upgrading MOS:ALBUM to be an official MOS guideline

Discussion at Talk:Phil Spector

There's a discussion on how we should format the the first paragraph on the lead section of the Phil Spector article, which can be found at Talk:Phil Spector#"Convicted murderer" in lead section. Feedback from project members would be appreciated. Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 09:45, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

Discussion at Talk:Brian Wilson

There's an important discussion regarding how we should handle the Death and tributes section of the Brian Wilson article. The discussion can be found at Talk:Brian Wilson#Death section. Input from project members would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 13:38, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Naming convention

Hi to all! I am preparing to make a new article and I'm torn between naming it with "(music producer)" or "record producer"? I have searched and a lot of pages used the latter despite finding this naming convention article. Any thoughts on how I should proceed? Thanks for the help!

This needs deletion very soon, or the addition of several inline citations quickly. Thank you. Bearian (talk) 15:57, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
