Sources I've found on Google only appear to be passing mentions for events he performed in with a variety of other musicians, a couple interviews, some social media, and an apparent press release in disguise. As such, it appears to fail WP:SIGCOV. If there's better coverage out there, my WP:BEFORE isn't finding it. Waggie (talk) 00:49, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - I performed a WP:BEFORE check on this as well, and came up finding that this failed our criteria. There are not enough reliable sources covering this subject significantly, almost all press articles are stating he is in lineups and are passing mentions... Everything else appears to be either PR coverage, primary sourcing, or lacking in significance. If there are other sources, I'd be happy to see them. But as of now, I have to say I don't think this should be retained. — Coffee //  have a ☕️ //  beans  // 00:56, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG. Looks like a paid promo. Angus1986 (talk) 10:38, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as he has quite a decent staff written bio at AllMusic here which states that he is a significant figure in the techno scene which would pass criteria 7 of WP:NMUSIC, there are also four staff album reviews there not counting the very short ones. Will do a search for more sources later, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:31, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay, have found some more significant coverage here in DJ Mag which is a WikiMusic Project reliable source here, here, and here, Spin magazine here, Dancing Astronaut which is a WikiProject EDM rs here and a Dutch newspaper here. There is also the AllMusic coverage mentioned earlier, there are some interviews but I think all told there is enough prose to pass WP:GNG imv Atlantic306 (talk) 23:28, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete While there are plenty reliable sources, the subject obviously meets WP:GNG and Drumcode's impact on techno music is irrefutable the page is too promotional and should be deleted. GDX420 (talk) 12:43, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The article can be rewritten rather than deleted, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:13, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - other than the abundance of nicknames which seems a bit over the top, I don't see anything too promotional here. It meets WP:GNG and has a number of bluelinked pages of note, so why not WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM and add some more of the DJMag and AllMusic sources. Llemiles (talk) 00:16, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:NEXIST. Atlantic306 has found enough sources to demonstrate notability. -- Toughpigs (talk) 00:19, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, for the reasons of those who want this article kept. Davidgoodheart (talk) 02:00, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
