No evidence of any notability. The refs look impressive but wading through them all reveals nothing but blogs, peripheral mentions and extreme niche listings. The BBC Radio6 ref looked promising , but the content is unavailable to me outside the UK and I doubt whather it is a significant ref.

Hello Velella, Kriswontwo is a critically acclaimed music producer. Usually it's harder to find info about the producer's since they often find themselves in the background, but I think he is very worthy of a wiki page. Several refs on BBC Radio plus Billboard ratings. Also loads of college radio listings and various international radio. Also reviews in acclaimed magazines like GAFFA from Denmark. You also mentioned niche listings like it was a bad thing. Is it only major pop artists who are worth mentioning on wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.20.63.146 (talk) 23:28, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Velella, BBC Radio profile on Kriswontwo: http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/6abe2512-a1cb-4175-be61-3c7520d18b46 I don't think it's good enough reason to delete just because you can't see BBC's website in your country, you should validate with someone from another country then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.20.63.146 (talk) 23:52, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did do due diligence research, and all that that site demonstrates is that one track was played once on the BBC. Please read WP:BAND to understand how notability is defined for musical acts. A single play on the BBC does not equate to notability. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 10:01, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

After digging further I've found that it's actually five plays, here are links: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07vw9q5 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04n5vwk http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04hcp6p http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/gilles-peterson-bbc-radio-6-music-fatima-in-session/ http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/gilles-peterson-bbc-radio-6-music-session-rewinds/ He is also registered as an artist for Los Angeles record label SomeOthaShip Connect (sub-label to the major, E-One). Here is the link: http://www.someothaship.net/artists/ Also found two honorable mentions, best songs of 2015 from acclaimed soul blog SoulBounce: http://www.soulbounce.com/soul/2016/01/hot-16-soulbounces-best-songs-of-2015/18/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.20.63.146 (talk) 01:24, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
