Blutonium Boy
No assertion of notability. WikiKingOfMishawaka (talk) 01:50, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I declined the speedy on the assertion of notability, specifically Each of Adamiaks last 12 hardstyle compilations (Blutonium Presents Hardstyle under EMI Music) reached the top 20 of the German Media Control Charts. The following discussion took place on my talk page. There are some minimal sources available but I confess to a lack of understanding of DJs vis-a-vis WP:MUSIC.

 * Keep I will go Cari one better - I am the lad who nominated the article for Speedy Delete in the first place! That was not one of my better calls, as the notability of the subject is confirmable. Ecoleetage (talk) 04:00, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * keep Blutonium Boy is notable, he has the leading role of hardstyle in Germany with his label Blutonium Records. That label has over 100 releases, in hardstyle music, that is impressive. You can compare other labels on Discogs. It is strange to search for reliable sources (according to Wikipedia), because if I search Blutonium Boy I get this and when I search hardstyle the first hit is EastWest to Distribute Three New Best Service Titles which includes Blutonium Boy. It is strange however how Wikipedia does not have a policy for something that is hardly in "reliable" sources but thousands of people enjoy every weekend. Mallerd (talk) 07:43, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I must add that a nomination for deletion by WikiKingOfMishawaka feels something like payback. Wikipedia should change something in their policies. Mallerd (talk) 07:47, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment I think the article needs to to cite a news article from a good source. BBC news ect. If this can be done soon it should be a keep.  If not a delete harris 578 (talk) 08:22, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I want to know why Andrew Townsend is kept then. BBC and newspapers etc rarely write about djs in general. Only performances by Tiësto was on the news in the Netherlands, even though in the Netherlands the scene is the biggest in all of Europe with Q-Dance and ID&T. Wikipedia must change something because these policies mean that only 1-2 djs are notable. That's nonsense. Mallerd (talk) 10:07, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I can only decide on the cases that are put on the AFD board. The Andrew Townsend article has got a link to a news article at []  If Andrew Townsend gets put on here for deletion we will decide on its own merits. harris 578 (talk) 10:21, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't see the difference between the sources provided at Andrew Townsend and Blutonium Boy, both have news references, both have myspace, both have myDJlist. News from Blutonium are Factiva (Dow Jones also mentioned?), Western Daily Press, he has his own label here. Now with the demise of Tracid Traxxx the only label which has reputation in the hardstyle scene of Europe. Please explain to me what is wrong here? I beg you Mallerd (talk) 10:39, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * There is one reference on Blutonium Boy and that takes you to Blutonium website? harris 578 (talk) 15:40, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I've added many more sources in the discussion following the nominations which support the notability. On the talkpage of the Blutonium Boy article and here are there several sources. Mallerd (talk) 18:24, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
