WP:NMUSIC doesn't make any mention of sound engineers or mixers, with relevant discussions concluding that being involved in producing notable music, does not make them notable i.e. WP:NOTINHERITED and therefore WP:BIO and WP:GNG apply to determining notability. Very little of the content present in the article at the moment is sourced and the few reliable sources present [1] [2] make no mention of the subject. My own searches turned up this interview in innerviews as being the best available source, but it's not a well-known reliable source for determining notability. Apart from that, all I could find were this and this from mixonline.com, which is probably a better RS, but there's not a huge amount of coverage. Definitely on the edge of notability, but I am not sure on which side and would like to know before I do any work to clean up the article. SmartSE (talk) 16:41, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I am undecided on the gentleman's notability, because finding sources for studio personnel can be tough even though they worked with lots of famous people. However, if the article survives it needs severe reduction and removal of resume-like elements. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:02, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
