Withdrawn by nominator - There are now enough sources available to establish notability. Sources are given below. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 03:00, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Redirect~~ - vote changed to Keep (see below) - This article was originally created as a redirect to the article Monstercat, and not as an article in itself. I propose that we return it to that state, rather than deleting it altogether. The artist in question may not meet the requirements for having his own article, but the wikipedia link/page for "Notaker" should be kept in existence as a redirect to Monstercat's page. The user "davidnothaker," (who is either the artist in question himself or a fan of his) converted the redirect page into one resembling an article, though it was never officially approved to be created as a legitimate article.

Keep: This article's sources easily meets WP:NMUSIC. Further explanation is needed on this matter. Reverting the article back to a redirect is erroneous and no prior approval should be needed to create such an article. 10:03, 7 July 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tacofuzz8080 (talk • contribs)
- Comment: While I am a fan of Notaker's music, he must meet at least one of the 12 requirements on WP:NMUSIC for Wikipedia to have an article about him. If you can provide concrete evidence that Nothaker has met one or more of the 12 requirements, then we certainly should keep this article and expand on it. But right now, it would seem that is not the case. Clbsfn (talk) 20:17, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment: After looking into this a bit, It appears he has been interviewed by a few notable plubications, i.e. DJMAG ([1]), musicradar ([2]), and thissongslaps ([3]) this would suffice per requirement 1 of WP:NMUSIC 22:07, 7 July 2017 (UTC).— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tacofuzz8080 (talk • contribs)
    - Do note that interviews are primary sources and may not be used as "reliable secondary sources that are independent of the topic." - TheMagnificentist 05:06, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - From WP:NMUSIC - "Composers and performers outside mass media traditions may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria...Is frequently covered in publications devoted to a notable music sub-culture." Music news websites Your EDM, Mixmag, EDM Sauce, and Vents Magazine contain numerous articles independent of Notaker (non-interviews): Clbsfn (talk) 05:39, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Monstercat per Clbsfn. - TheMagnificentist 16:01, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I've had a COI discussion open for a while on the user "davidnothaker", who has been editing the article for a while. The discussion is here. I credit a part of the current discussion for what helped me decide on this discussion per WP:GNG as well. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 03:52, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Would you consider the links I put above to count as reliable secondary sources that contribute to the artist's notability? And would you re-consider deleting the page if information from those links were added (with citations, of course) to the article? I am curious about your opinion on this matter. TheMagnificentist pointed out that interviews should not be counted as secondary sources, but I provided pages from significant online magazines and news websites (especially Mixmag, which has its own wikipedia page) that discuss Notaker and are not interviews with him.

  - Unfortunately, that is not something I can say in an AfD discussion. You are more than welcome to message me on my Talk page, though. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 05:44, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
