The result was Speedy delete a7, being an assistant engineer/mixer isn't an indication of notability, even if he worked on hit songs. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:57, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article even notable? I think he needs to have a much larger repetoire. He isn't even a producer, just an assistant engineer and mixer. Calvin • TalkThatTalk 17:55, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From the author of the article: I understand your concern, Calvin, however Ross has mixed a UK top 10 single and engineered (not just assisting) 3 platinum albums (whether in their entirety or selected songs), specifically 2 platinum albums from N Dubz and 1 double platinum album from Westlife. He has engineered #1 single from Dappy (No Regrets) and its follow up, Rockstar, which is likely to be a top10 (or another number1) when will be released after Christmas. In general I don't think engineers and mixers should be dismissed as not relevant, because they are vital personell in the recording process. (All credits included in the article are confirmed in the albums' inlay) P.S. Apologies if I wasn't supposed to reply here. DeBrando( talk) 18:24, 23 November 2011 (UTC) [reply]
