Deletion of Wes Maebe

Comment: Being a product reviewer for a magazine (highly regarded or not) is not inherently notable.  Notability (for Wikipedia's definition anyway) is not indicated by a person's writings, but by the |verifiable impact that person has made on his or her field or society at large.  That impact is determined by what others have written about the subject, and no one seems to have written anything significant about Maebe.  Further, whatever Maebe's responsibility for the success or failure of his clients, if no independent sources have written about him, then there is no notability

Comment: WP:NRVE|Notability requires verifiable evidence.  So far, we have only Martijnd's word that Maebe is a significant contributor to this field.  |Prove it with citations to |reliable sources. The problem is not merely that the article presently has no sources, but that a Google search turns up no sources. If anyone has sources that I can't find, bring them forth. Maebe's role as sound engineer on various notable recordings does '''not''' constitute ''creating or co-creating a significant or well-known work''.  The creator of a recording is universally agreed to be the principal artist of the recording (Sting, Roger Waters, Elliot Randall, etc).  A record producer '''might''' be credited as co-creator, if verifiable sources can be found to indicate that the producer's role added significantly to the quality of the product.  A sound engineer can improve a recording's quality, but I would doubt that any engineer would be credited as the co-creator of a song or album.  When it comes time to hand out Grammy's for "Best Song", "Best Record", etc, it is not the engineer who stands to accept the award
