I understand for verification purposes that you need to scrutinize every draft for fraudulent claims. But Jamie Tate is indeed a Grammy recipient . After doing a bit of research, I am finding out that many engineers , mixers , programmers ( and even producers ) who have been officially presented with a Grammy from the academy, do not appear officially on the Grammys site. Especially when going back 15-20 years and further.
I have reached out to a contact at the Academy to see how/if they can help. If we we can get a staff member to certify his Grammy through email, phone or otherwise, how would we get this to Wiki? Also, here is his certification that he received in 1998:

I can get a high def pic of it if needed.
If you can please help us clear up this matter, would be much appreciated and very helpful.
- I am sorry,IP Editor, but Wikipedia articles must be based on published sources. An email from the academy to Wikipedia does not count as "publication". Nor does posting a scan of a document to Dropbox. Now if there was some news coverage that mentioned his award, that would be a published source. Such a source need not be online. It could be cited by giving the title of the article, the name of the newspaper or other publication, the date, the page number, and the byline if stated.

I received this message regarding the submission of my page above - HARJGTHEONE and the messages says I should reenter my page in sandbox to have it really submitted. Is this really necessary as you have my request to submit it. Please note I will be doing minor edits over the coming weeks as I add information, as I am told it takes 2 months for wiki to review.. Do you just I do the minor reedits?
MESSSAGE received: G'day, if you truely were wanting to submit this page via WP:AFC, probably create it in your sandbox, and check out the AfC help desk or the WP:TEAHOUSE for help on creating your first article — IVORK Discuss 23:32, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

- Hello, HARJGTHEONE. There are several problems here.
- First, your user talk page, User talk:HARJGTHEONE is for other users to leave messages fo you, and for you to respond. It is not the place for you to create inital versions of articles or other pages.
- Secondly, Wikipedia is for factual articles supported by citations to reliable sources, not for fantasies or myths or whatever the texts you have written are supposed to be.
- Articles can be drafted in your sandbox or in another user sub-page, provided that they are reasonable attempts to create valid articles and so to improve the encyclopedia.
- Do you have a subject that you want to write an actual article about? DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 18:35, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
