This person is clearly a very prolific mastering engineer, but notability is not inherited. I don't think its unreasonable to state that "winning" awards by preforming audio work on albums released by other people doesn't count towards WP:MUSICBIO, unless the awards are specifically for audio technicians. This Pro Sound News piece is the only good profile of this guy I could find, and it alone isn't enough to show notability. Mach61 15:02, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: as per nomination, also t's not entirely precise to attribute him Grammy nominations that were really for Lady Gaga and her album, not for it's mastering work. InDimensional (talk) 00:20, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete regretfully. The consensus has been that engineers and producers are run of the mill. They just don't get the coverage they deserve. Until that consensus changes, we have been deleting a lot of these articles. Bearian (talk) 17:50, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
