i've done some digging and attempted to clean up the article however the primary claims of notability (touring with notable acts) are completely unsupported by independent sources, in fact many of hte sources here don't even mention the subject under any name. This is a WP:COATRACKy article if I ever saw one and lacks any independent notability (or dependent notability, apparently.) Praxidicae (talk) 15:14, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I've seen articles for far more notable DJs than this one deleted. It's true that he was a resident DJ at Ministry of Sound, although I'm sure "collaborated" here means simply that he was on the same line-up as these more famous DJs on some nights, and he simply handed over to them at the end of his set, nothing more. Playing in Ibiza doesn't mean much, even at a famous club like Pacha... the source doesn't mention him, and he was just playing in the side room, not the main room. Likewise festivals – I have friends who have DJ'd at Glastonbury and other festivals, it's not that exclusive, because there are so many stages and days to fill. He's clearly got himself a good reputation as a warm-up DJ to the stars which allows him to travel around the world with his job, and good luck to him for doing so, but I'm not sure it's got anything in the way of independent press that would make him notable. I'll have a look and see if there is anything more, but I would imagine that if the subject had been profiled in Mixmag or the like, it would already have been noted in the article.

Delete - Non notable DJ. Almost no reliable source. Bombardment of sources but most of the sources do not even mention him. Another similar article by the same author is Kobi Arad. - Thebiv19 (talk) 09:05, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note Please see my comments on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kobi Arad (2nd nomination); the article creator is part of a persistent paid editing sockfarm and I would recommend early closure under CSD G5. Yunshui ^雲 _水 09:39, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
