Ahrix (music producer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable musician. I failed to locate any significant and reliable sources that are independent of the topic. Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. — Za  wl  15:52, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Weak keep: I can't find any significant coverage in WP:RS either, just blog mentions about one of his songs inspiring an Alan Walker single. The upload of this selfie as "own work", if true, suggests either autobiography or WP:COI. On the other hand, he did have a single on a Billboard chart for 20 weeks, peaking at #24 . Odd that there's so little online coverage of him or the single. Mr. MacTidy (talk) 05:24, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
 * it's often tricky to find online coverage of dance music producers and DJs, compared with rock and pop acts – one reason is that they tend to prefer keeping a low profile and not courting much in the way of publicity, and the other is that the magazines most likely to have interviews and features about them (e.g. Mixmag, DJ Mag, etc.) have little or no online archives, unlike Rolling Stone or NME.

 * Thanks, changing my position to Keep accordingly . I notice you haven't taken a position yet on whether to keep or delete? Mr. MacTidy (talk) 04:58, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Switching back to weak keep, per discussion with Zawl below. Mr. MacTidy (talk) 15:44, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The author of this article and uploader of that selfie was offering on Wikimedia Commons to create English Wikipedia articles (here too), and has claimed rights never attained.   — Jeff G. ツ 11:49, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * indeed, the article creator is a pest and a likely sockpuppeteer, but the right response to that per guidelines and process is to warn (and block if necessary), rather than delete an article that meets notability criteria. Mr. MacTidy (talk) 13:52, 22 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete no significant coverage in reliable sources means the subject does not meet notability criteria. The above "weak keep" vote, if taken at face value indicates we should delete.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:39, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP, WP:GNG, WP:MUSICBIO, lack of assertion of notability, and WP:COI concerns.  — Jeff G. ツ 05:39, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment  he meets WP:MUSICBIO by having had a single in a Billboard charts for 20 weeks, peaking at #24. If we delete this article, then what happens to Nova (Ahrix song)? And Ahrix that links to it?  I can't see how we can delete an article on a musician who clearly meets WP:MUSICBIO with a solidly charting single. Mr. MacTidy (talk) 04:58, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * In order for a musician to pass WP:MUSICBIO#2, they should have a single or album on any country's national music chart. The national music chart for the United States is the Billboard Hot 100. Ahrix never had a song peak on this chart. "Dance/Electronic Songs" is a component chart which would be acceptable in notability measurement if there are significant coverage of reliable sources that are independent of the topic. — Za  wl  14:06, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. In that case, I suppose I should switch back to weak keep. Thanks for the explanation. And as WP:NSONG also specifies national chart, that would imply that the song article should likewise be deleted. Mr. MacTidy (talk) 15:44, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * thank you for the explanations, I used them to create Articles for deletion/Nova (Ahrix song).  — Jeff G. ツ 00:00, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
