The result was Keep. It seems obvious that this passes WP:BAND criterion #5, reliable source coverage has been identified, therefore I don't anticipate any further arguments for deletion. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:27, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

DJ Food

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I originally deleted this article in response to a WP:CSD tag placed on it, after which I noticed that the article is several years old with a long history. The topic doesn't appear to meet WP:BAND criteria for inclusion, and generally "mix albums" are as inherently non-notable as those who produce them. However, because of its history, I have restored the article and proposed it here for proper review. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:18, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

 * delete as the original CSD nominator, I think this clearly does not meet BAND. The page has no refs to RS, and I tried to search for them, but the name of course shows up in a billion non related contexts. Gaijin42 (talk) 23:37, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Note that one of the WP:BAND criteria concerns having two albums on a notable record label. Of the labels shown in the article, I know Rough Trade is notable, not sure about the other. ~Amatulić (talk) 01:27, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. on the basis that both Rough Trade and Ninja Tune are notable labels that DJ Food has released an album on. I agree with Amatulic that Rough Trade is notable.  WP:BAND says "Has released two or more albums on a major label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable)."  This requires more than the notability for Ninja Tune to have a wiki article - they must have many notable performers.  I have no idea of the calibre of their lineup - but it is extensive, and 30-40 acts apparently have enough notability to have their own page here. On the untested assumption that this meets WP:Band, then, I suggest a 'keep'. Colon el  Tom 03:34, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm utterly mystified why anyone would think A7 was appropriate here, and even bringing it to AFD seems odd. This started as a side project of Coldcut (Matt Black and Jonathan More) with a few like-minded friends, with many albums released on Ninja Tunes, which is easily enough to pass criterion 5 of WP:BAND. If that wasn't enough, there is plenty of coverage of DJ Food from a variety of sources, e.g. Allmusic (see reviews also), Clash, NME, Chartattack, metro.cz, Les Inrocks, CMJ New Music Monthly, SPIN.--Michig (talk) 07:26, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. On the basis that the page has been here for a long time, that the artist has released 9 albums on a notable record label, Ninja Tune being one of the most respected electronica labels in the world, with a roster of artists including 3 mercury prize nominees and one winner, which easily passes the criteria for WP:BAND. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colorfulthrowup (talk • contribs) 09:58, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: the lede needs to explain what the topic is, currently it doesn't appear to. Stuartyeates (talk) 18:32, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
