Contested PROD. Delete as blatant WP:SPAM for a non-notable Internet newsletter that probably fails WP:WEB. Appears to be vanity from User:Dude Walker, who keeps inserting this into Newspaper and related articles, and added his own bio information to Dude Walker (not the same guy). --Kinu t/c 05:38, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
On the contrary. Disc Jockey News is a hardcopy newspaper that is has been in operation since 2004. The reasons for insertion in the newspaper category is it's related category listing. It is/was my understanding that reference contributions were a matter of being thorough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dude Walker (talk • contribs)
- Comment: My apologies. I've corrected the nomination above. --Kinu t/c 06:17, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Kinu, as for the deletion of bio information? How shall that be addressed. Since both have achievments within the broadcast and media fields, how do you suggest this be addressed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dude Walker (talk • contribs) 06:23, 9 Sep 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. As it stands it reads as an advert only with far too many links Nigel (Talk) 09:45, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- KEEP Kinu, Nigel, more or less puzzled.. This Mobile Disc Jockey industry is a growing industry. Currently there are only 3 specifc pubs that relate directly to the industry. Disc Jockey News, DJ Times & Mobile Beat. What changes would you suggest to reference content? Cross-references were an attempt to be thorough. Please advise.

- Delete per nom. Very closely resembles spam. Couldn't find evidence of notability. Author's strident defense of the article completely fails to address wikipedia policy, so I'm not convinced. My Alt Account 19:17, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To All Concerned I've read the article(s) relating to WikiSpam. I can see how my contributions/inclusions have been misinterpreted. I was following help suggestions from Wikipedia that created this dialogue. Items shown in red indicate a term or article not yet present within Wikipedia. That prompted me to be more thorough and supply cross reference material that it appeared that Wikipedia needed. I find it ironic that assertions of SPAM or AD campaigns were created in part, by Wikipedia's "help" suggestions. I'm unsure what could be more credible/notable than a physical copy of the industry specific newspaper which anyone may freely obtain in a US mailbox or online.Dude Walker 18:09, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
