Haven't found any reliable external references about him. If anyone can find something, please put it in the discussion below. Westroopnerd (talk) 20:29, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article is about a musician that does not have enough significance to be it's own article. Nrwairport (talk) 20:31, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Relatively well known dub producer. There are multiple websites that mention this artist, and a simple google search proves that. Examples here and here. The Undead Never Die(talk) 20:44, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have no idea whether those links are RS but I have taken the Speedy Deletion off as there is a chance that it might be notable. I'm not !voting Keep though. I have no idea about this stuff. I don't even know if "dub stepper" is the same as Dubstep. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:04, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete . Fails WP:MUSICBIO. Sources are required fro established 3rd party media that provide in-depth coverage of the subject and that meet WP:RS. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 21:10, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note: It also exists on the French, German and Haitian Creole Wikipedias. I have linked them although I am not sure their sources are much better than here. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:12, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The WP:BURDEN is to demonstrate that the subject meets WP:GNG if they're "well known". Everything is relative, but maybe they're not relatively well known outside of the niche dub producing industry. In any regard they don't appear to meet WP:MUSICBIO and if they do have an article on other Wikipedia projects, we don't self reference between Wikimedia projects (WP:OTHERCRAP).

Keep What the... Four albums instead of "two or more albums on (..) one of the more important indie labels". Well known in his genre, as depicted and cited in the article. Kind regards, Grueslayer Let's talk. 19:46, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Grueslayer, under what Wikipedia notability guideline are you recommending 'keep'? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:05, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What I think people are trying to say is that the article does not indicate his notability by the use of significant coverage. Most of the sources are album track lists and do not discuss the artist at all. Mkdw ^talk 21:09, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
