Does not appear to meet GNG or NMUSIC - a BEFORE search came up empty, only finding trivial mentions like listing them in a music festival's performer lists (though it's possible that I missed some Finnish-language sources). Subject did have a song (or possibly someone's remix of their song) on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart for several weeks, but my read of NMUSIC is that showing up on an airplay chart of 8 stations isn't sufficient to meet the NMUSIC criterion of "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart" (I'd expect Billboard 100 or similar for that). Also has a generally promotional tone. creffett (talk) 02:38, 21 May 2020 (UTC) creffett (talk) 02:38, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a non-notable musician.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:16, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He's had three singles on the official Finnish singles chart [1], [2], [3], which satisfies the "has had a single... on national music chart" criterion, I believe. This interview calls him one of the pioneers of Finnish dance music. I also found this other interview (both interviews are in Finnish). He's had a long career, and I would think that there has been more coverage of him, but those sources might not be online (anymore). And though it won't by itself make him notable as a solo artist, I'll mention that he's half of the duo Dallas Superstars, which has had multiple charted singles in Finland, including a number one hit, and two albums on the Finnish album chart. -kyykaarme (talk) 21:50, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Per kyykaarme. Sources indicated above make the article good enough to pass WP:GNG. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 05:01, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as he does seem to pass WP:NMUSIC criteria 2 with hit releases on a national chart as confirmed in reliable sources so the article although minimal at present should remain and hopefully be improved, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 21:57, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the musician is quite famous in Finland and meets basic criteria for WP notability. --KressInsel (talk) 14:46, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
