Article about a radio DJ and producer who has moved around various companies and stations, the article is mostly a resume for the subject and lists the various radio stations he has worked on. Does not assert notability - the links are mostly to the subject's own sites and/or his employers' web sites. Flip Format (talk) 11:30, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Definitely fails WP:MUSICBIO; sources are either slight-mentions of the subject or the subject's official website itself. Timothytyy (talk) 12:42, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the guru that's good at promoting himself, well-played. No sourcing found; hits on his name in obituaries, likely unrelated individuals. Oaktree b (talk) 16:23, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:BIO per above arguments. SBKSPP (talk) 08:36, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Current state of article is poor. His work in pirate radio does have several secondary sources see Google Books - and there's also a bio here based upon his pirate radio career Pirate Radio Hall of Fame. Also noted in Radio in Context as one of the earliest specialists in the production of jingle packages. I'll do more digging when I get time ResonantDis_tortion 08:32, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning to keep as the Radio in Context ref above should be sufficient to meet Creative professionals WP:artist#2 The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique. Article definitely needs cleanup however. ResonantDis_tortion 09:08, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment I have edited the article including adding secondary references and removing some of the more promo aspects, to help the assessment of notability.ResonantDis_tortion 22:58, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Changed my vote per ResonantDistortion's argument and WP:HEY. Now meets WP:BIO. Sources in the article are reliable, with some in-depth enough IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 00:14, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging @SBKSPP - you have !voted twice in this AfD - please strike one. ResonantDis_tortion 09:27, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, SBKSPP, you have voted both Delete and Keep. I assume you changed your mind so could you strike the previous vote? Thanks. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:05, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. For exactly the reasons that User:ResonantDistortion said: he played a major role in inventing a new creative process. In addition to that, we have enough coursing to write a reasonable length biography. To me, this is a WP:CREATIVE pass. CT55555(talk) 23:24, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As the original nominator, I withdraw this nomination. ResonantDistortion has located significant enough coverage in reliable and independent sources to prove the notability of this individual, specifically around his work in radio imaging and production (rather than his pirate radio DJing, where he was one of many on-off DJs). Thank you to ResonantDistortion. Flip Format (talk) 13:24, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
