Fails GNG or WP:MUSBIO. Article has had an unresolved "additional citations" tag for more than two years. A very thorough search for sources finds the subject only referenced in credit lists (at AllMusic, IMDB, etc.) but no more substantive treatment, with the exception of a single book "Bruce Springsteen: Two Hearts, the Story" in which he is mentioned in passing exactly four times in 322 pages.

  • Keep - Being the longtime Springsteen recording engineer is in itself notable, and some might say legendary. Running the boards on Born in the U.S.A., The Rising and The River is about as A-list as it gets in the recording business. There is good detail on Scott in sources like Montana Public Radio and Sound on Sound and the book Bruce Springsteen and the Promise of Rock 'n' Roll goes into a lot of detail on him too (online source not available).[http://mtpr.org/post/monday-music-special-august-4th-you-must-remember-guest-toby-scott#stream/0][http://www.soundonsound.com/people/bruce-springsteen-born-usa-classic-tracks]. --Oakshade (talk) 03:59, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

  • Keep per Oakshade. The people on the other side of the microphone often don't get their due and it is tougher to find sources, but this one seems to pass GNG pretty easily. Montanabw(talk) 21:37, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

  • Keep -- the book Bruce by Peter Ames Carlin calls him Springsteen's "chief engineer" and mentions him two dozen times: [https://books.google.com/books?id=RnpoYMw0QaAC&pg=PA413&dq=%22Toby+Scott%22+bruce&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjXvN3WmqfPAhUq_4MKHWz7DmkQ6AEIKDAC#v=onepage&q=%22Toby%20Scott%22&f=false link]. He appears to be an important figure in Springsteen's career and probably in his own right. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:58, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
