This article has twice been deleted previously&mdash;once as a prod, once as a speedy. There doesn't seem to be any suggestion of notability, so taking it to AfD.

 * Delete, despite his "millions of hits on YouTube". No reliable third-party coverage.  Powers T 12:49, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets criteria #2 at WP:MUSICBIO. Has had singles chart on the national Germany and UK charts and #1 on the international Beatport DJ charts (Beatport is the bible for DJs). Meets criteria #4 at WP:MUSICBIO 2010 world tour. Meets criteria #12 of WP:MUSICBIO exclusive half-hour show on Sirius Satellite Radio (October 23, 2010).

 * Keep. Per above meets criteria #2 at WP:MUSICBIO. Has now had a top 20 single in Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden and the UK so definitely notable. Mhiji (talk) 03:09, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep, per Mhiji and Cinamuse. --Slon02 (talk) 01:55, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The article easily fails WP:N's requirement for third part coverage. Lacks anything of that sort.-- White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 04:03, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep – Has third-party coverage in the Las Vegas Sun and in Music Week, as noted by Cindamuse. I added a second Music Week article about him as well. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 04:15, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, but... He has indeed had hits in quite a few different countries, but all the chart archives I found (using the charts listed at WP:GOODCHARTS), have him listed as Tim Berg. What a gwan? Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 20:00, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
