- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:MUSICBIO. Was able to locate just one secondary source here. The article cites this source which reads more like an interview. A search on Billboard brings back nothing. Difficult to establish notability when so little has been written about this person. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:14, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - Clearly notable. I would withdraw my nomination but another editor has already voted to delete. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:02, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
- delete as it stands, due to lack of substantive reliable independent sources. Guy (Help!) 14:03, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Lots of Google results, including AllMusic [1], Resident Advisor [2], BBC Radio 1 [3], Billboard picks [4], [5], and lots of Dutch sources in Web, news, and book results. In 2010 was #68 the Top 100 DJs in DJ Magazine: [6], and was in the Top 100 in 2008, 2009, 2011 as well [7]. "Is This Love (Remix)" reached #16 in the UK: [8], [9]. Some interviews in TranceSound: 2009, 2010; The French Shuffle [10]; The DJ List [11]; several more interviews: [12]. Previous AfD was a unanimous Keep from four editors, and notability is not temporary. Remember to avoid WP:SYSTEMICBIAS of only English-language subjects.

- Warning of systemic bias unnecessary here: I know living composers from several countries, and have sung in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Flemish, Latvian, Estonian, Swedish, Japanese and Xhosa :-) Guy (Help!) 15:15, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
- Keep basically on Softlavender's authority--clearly they're much better at searching than I am. I found nothing more, just a few mentions on 3VOOR12 ([13]), but the things Softlavender found seem to cut it, and then there's the previous AfD. Drmies (talk) 17:42, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
