DJ GQ

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Subject is a non-notable DJ, whose primary claim to fame seems to be that he is a mixer on a top-40 radio station in Miami. There are many grandiose claims of media coverage, but the only one included is a bare, broken link to a five-year old USA today blog post. Google news pulled up a single link (in German), and most of the many google hits are social networking sites (the top five are his own page, the Wikipedia article, his myspace page, his facebook page, and his twitter page (which is linked to the radio station). The only reference in the article is a link to a page of an autobiography of DMX (rapper), which is used to source DJ GQ's place of birth. Additionally, three paragraphs of the article appear to be a copyvio of his radio station bio, although it's possible that they cribbed the bio, rather than the other way around.

 * Delete In this very promotional article, there do not appear to be references to satisfy WP:BIO. Edison (talk) 20:17, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Non-notable local DJ, and to say the article is promotional would be an understatement.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 23:42, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per Erpert. -- Joaquin008  ( talk ) 19:34, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - other than his supporting work for Kevin Lyttle, and one gig in Chiacgo, he's done nothing except local gigs. Fails WP:RS, WP:GNG, and WP:CREATIVE. Bearian (talk) 22:40, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I know of him very well and he is Notable local DJ here in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area as a dj, whoever wrote all of that did a horrible job, It definitely was "Very promotional" to say the least! I put a few references up. Also Y100 is the first Top 40 station in the US and in the top 10 stations in the country, and he is the first non syndicated DJ on it witch is a big thing here. (talk) 06:50, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I Referenced the page poorly User:Chrisjonesmiami, and sorry User:Horologium, DJ GQ's Wiki page hasn't been updated properly in a while and I was trying, and I should have took down the old links, I am new to the Wiki editing and I'm trying to learn quickly, so please excuse my ignorance. Re the social networking sites, like most big DJ's there social networking pages rank high on Google searches because of the traffic to them, his Myspace page alone he has over 1 million profile views and 30k friends, You can compare the google search to Jesery Shore's DJ Pauly D or whatever other dj and you'll see all there social sites are first in searches for their names as well. I see his best DJ award from the Florida Recording and Entertainment Council has been mentioned and referenced and other more recent articles referenced, please advise what I should do to get this page out of removal convo, sorry again.
