DJ Markski

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article on a DJ who's done a bunch of mixes, as well as DJing in Chicago and on 9FM. No sources, seems vandalized, link to myspace page. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 00:35, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, way too many google hits. SolidPlaid 02:08, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * comment well, doing an exact phrase match search, the first 100 hits I got back were his webpages, myspaces, bit torrents, and so forth. Maybe the Amazon.com listing for one of his mix CDs is proof that he exists, but a quick check through the long list of self-promo and blogs didn't find me any reliable sources in that first 100 that could move the article beyond original research or unverifiability or non-neutral point of view. Has he been written about in reliable sources independent of the subject? You know, been interviewed in magazines, written about in a book on the Chicago DJ scene? I'm happy to be proven wrong.

 * I'm not sure that having tracks available for download on yahoo makes him notable. I've also done a search at Google Books, and all I could find was the Markski who worked with Kid Frost in Latin Alliance. This isn't the same Markski. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 17:25, 9 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - took the time to go through the first several pages of G hits, these are almost all catalog entries and forum posts. Subjects are notable by dint of reliable sources writing about them. --- tqbf  04:11, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom & User:tqbf unless somebody pulls something reliable out of those google hits. The guy seems to be famous, but WP:BIO specifies that fame is distinct from notability. I, too, spent some time looking through the google hits. The guy has an album for sale at Amazon, but it's not on a major label nor (so far as I can tell) a more notable indie label by WP:MUSIC. I got no hits on him through google news at all. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:26, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

wait, so you guys deleted this page just because he isn't a nationwide popular dj? wow. he has been doing this for 20 years here in chicago, and was big on b96 back in the day and energy 92.7/5, and now he's on dance factory radio. he has 50 ski mixes for god sake. so that's how wikipedia works? if somebody isn't popular enough, they don't go in wikipedia? he isn't some random little dj, at least not here in the 3rd biggest city in the country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SilentBob420BMFJ (talk • contribs) 14:52, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
