DMAshura recently contacted me to discuss his case. He's got some pertinent points to make, but felt uncomfortable adding them to the deletion debate on his own article, so I'll be summarising and presenting them on his behalf.Sockatume 19:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)


 * 1) This is a notability-based discussion. DMAshura asserts he has notability at least equal to Konami's in-house DDR composers, who have their own (significantly stubbier) biographies on the Wikipedia. Therefore, unless the AfD is expanded to encompass those articles, his own should not be deleted. As evidence: He is one of four artists to win a Konami-organised competition to have his work included in a DDR title.  . He is the only one of the four comissioned by Konami to provide additional material the game, beyond his competition entry. He is also the only one of the four to have his work included in Konami's "V-Rare" CDs, produced to promote upcoming DDR releases.


 * 2) DMAshura's case for notability is not limited to his work on DDR, specifically he has provided music for O2Jam. The producers of O2Jam assert that he is notable in the "beat game" (music game) community.


 * 3) Argument against merging. Given the lengths of the discographies of the various artists, merging the biographies into a list article would be unwieldy.
