 * Delete – No evidence of notability. – Editør (talk) 17:44, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I have added to this article, so that anyone has to help by adding reliable sources, because this article has not yet been expanded and is single sourced. XPanettaa (talk) 18:28, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I think you should give it a try and expand this article too, as you have expanded the article (which I mentioned on Articles for deletion/Alvaro (DJ)) back in April, because this article has not yet been expanded and is single sourced with has no real references or indication of notability. And also, the biography sections (which is empty and requires expansion) is waiting for you. XPanettaa (talk) 18:29, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping, I like these types of articles. Unfortunately in this case, only trivial English sources to work with, so seems like a textbook case aofwp:too soon, since just being signed to Spinnin' or Musical Freedom isn't enough for notability. Maybe put in draft form until a few reviews inevitably come out later this year? Otherwise, maybe there is a charting dutch single, I can't really tell -, or maybe some great coverage in Dutch I missed. Earflaps (talk) 18:45, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, I have added some information and added sources on the "Early life" section. Now, I think you should add the rest of the information and sources on the "Biography" section, because two sections has insufficient information. I tried to see if there was a charting dutch single at dutchcharts.nl or other websites, but there isn't? XPanettaa (talk) 21:21, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * A good start! Not bad articles for fleshing out content. Unfortunately interviews don't do much to prove significant coverage in most cases, so the page still doesn't have a solid argument for passing notability. But wait a month or two, and I'm pretty sure there will be enough sources to build a nice safe page. Just patience! :) Earflaps (talk) 21:47, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid that the page may be deleted, for sure, if we don't do something to make the page notable by adding information or something. By the way, I have added some information and added sources on the "Music career" section. XPanettaa (talk) 20:39, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Xpanettaa, may I recommend a quick refresher of WP:Musicbio? I myself try and re-read it every few months, since I tend to forget minor points sometimes - the gist is that just adding information doesn't actually protect a page from deletion, and a page's size actually doesn't matter much for notability. The most important thing (unless there's a charting single) is that the artist has attracted "significant" note in certain newspapers. Publications like YourEDM and DJlist unfortunately don't count act "reputable" in most people's eyes right now, so the list of good publications largely consists of these: WikiProject_Albums/Sources. I would recommend you request for the page to be userfied to your account, and then add information and references there over time, until there are two or three reviews or feature articles about Alpharock in some of the publications on that list.

 * Comment The link doesn't seem to work for me. I tried to see if there where sources on websites listed in WikiProject_Albums/Sources in order to add information and references there over time, until there are two or three reviews or feature articles about Alpharock in some of the publications on that list, but I couldn't find it anywhere, and it is probably too difficult for me to do it. I think you should do this and find sources in order to add information and references there over time, until there are two or three reviews or feature articles about Alpharock in some of the publications on that list. I'm sure that really should be enough to save the page, though, fits wp:Musicbio. XPanettaa (talk) 20:05, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi XPanettaa, in many cases I'm happy to adopt a page and put the time in to prove it it notable, but I try and hold off until there is at least a chance of survival. Otherwise, I just feel like I'm getting ahead of myself. In this case, I think you are being overly hopeful about its current chances of passing wp:musicbio or wp:notability. Earflaps (talk) 20:15, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think that you edited article Alpharock. I want you to find sources and then add information and references there over time, until there are two or three reviews or feature articles about Alpharock in some of the publications on that list. See this and this and find it and then add information and references there over time. XPanettaa (talk) 20:40, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The first thing I did upon entering this conversation was scan google for any articles on that list that mention Alpharock. According to my research, there are none. Earflaps (talk) 20:42, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, go to this and this and find it. XPanettaa (talk) 20:45, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
 * If you want to keep my in your back pocket to help on pages in the future, this isn't the way to go about it. Earflaps (talk) 20:47, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Did you found something? XPanettaa (talk) 08:43, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Dude, leave me alone please. Earflaps (talk) 08:57, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Then what are you doing? XPanettaa (talk) 10:45, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
