DJ Jurgen
Vanity page of NN disc jockey. Has only one album release by minor label. No incoming wikilinks. No hit, no concert tour, no awards. -- Perfecto 02:56, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -- Perfecto [[Image:Flag_of_Canada.svg|25px|Canada]] 02:56, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Notable trance/house DJ, important in that scene as far as I know. He's on AMG, has 1 album and 4 EPs on notable labels (Inluding Positiva which is part of EMI).  His website claims 6 albums but I don't see label information for them.  Also produced the minor mainstream hit "Better Off Alone" per article.  His own "higher and higher" #34 billboard dance hit in 2000 per AMG.  I think all of that evidence together meets WP:Music, but it's kind of close so I'm making this a weak keep.  --W.marsh 03:20, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as this is a notable DJ with a billboard charting dance hit. Yamaguchi先生 03:23, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep has at least one solo album and an international hit. "Better Off Alone" was in the top 100 hits in Australia for 2000 see . Capitalistroadster 03:37, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. "Better off alone" is by Alice DeeJay and there are 35 listings of it in AMG -- can you verify that the Aussie hit is by this artist? "Higher and Higher" is indeed #34 in Billboard though.  So that's one hit.-- Perfecto  [[Image:Flag_of_Canada.svg|25px|Canada]] 04:10, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * He produced "Better Off Alone" which marks towards his notability. Capitalistroadster 04:48, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * For the record he COWROTE Better Off Alone... both the music (by Jurgen, Pronti, and Kalmani) and AND the lyrics (by Jurgen). Alice Deejay was merely a studio vocalist he hired to record this track. After it hit the charts bigtime she decided to go solo.  ALKIVAR &trade;Radioactivity symbol.png 07:31, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * proof that it was by him first: Promo version of "Better Off Alone" PHOTO of Label to First Commercial Release of "Better Off Alone" just for reference. I can probably dig through my crates to find the Alice Deejay Promo and the DJ Jurgen Promo version (I usually date my records by "official release" date) If you reaaaally want me too  ALKIVAR &trade;Radioactivity symbol.png 08:30, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I nominate many music articles for speedy delete but this one seemed like it would be at least borderline passing for notability ranking. Jasmol 04:11, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * EXTREME KEEP this is a WTF nomination, Jurgen besides being a really nice guy (yeah so I know him big damn deal) is a multi-multi-platinum selling producer. Besides his work with Alice Deejay, he has also worked with Oakenfold and PVD in the studio. If anything this should be beefed up bigtime. His Discogs entry is quite long, and his tracks have gone very very far worldwide.  ALKIVAR &trade;Radioactivity symbol.png 07:29, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Then please add the WTF information on your friend onto the article. Thank you. -- Perfecto [[Image:Flag_of_Canada.svg|25px|Canada]] 14:17, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Based upon what Alkivar just said, this nomination should probably be closed. The notability of this person cannot be disputed.  Yamaguchi先生 07:45, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Thankfully, notability is not part of deletion policy. Trollderella 16:42, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Capitalistroadster and Alkivar. Hall Monitor 19:38, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per above comments and with due regard to systemic bias. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 17:36, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but let's add some more info? -=# Amos E Wolfe talk #=- 13:29, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
