Non notable, per WP:GNG. Neither of the independent sources cited covers the topic in any depth, and an online search finds nothing obvious to suggest that the required level of sourcing can be found elsewhere. AndyTheGrump (talk) 22:37, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a big event in the turntablism world. While the article may be poor there is a significant amount of independent coverage available - with statements such as "The event is a showcase of the world’s best scratch DJ’s who play portable turntables and vinyl" in a reliable music source ([1]). Other WP:RS/WP:RSMUSIC coverage includes [2] and [3] and [4]. A quick look on ProQuest and there is a lot more. ResonantDis_tortion 19:00, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not voting yet, but I will say for now that the company behind this has been on a crusade to edit-war a 27000-byte list of every winner of every variant of the competition into the article ([5] [6] [7] [8]), so if this article does continue to exist after this the article needs some form of protection--and more watchers, because if e.g. it gets semi-protected and the company creates another account to edit it, I'll no longer be able to revert them. 2603:8001:4542:28FB:D1A0:7BBB:E6CF:5C27 (talk) 20:01, 3 February 2024 (UTC) (Please send talk messages here instead)[reply]

Keep: Has in-depth mentions in The Cambridge Companion to Hip-Hop ISBN 9781316239926 and Groove Music: The Art and Culture of the Hip-Hop DJ ISBN 9780199913015. It is described as having an "enormous impact on the development of playing skills" in the former. Why? I Ask (talk) 01:32, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
