Ed Case (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Previously deleted in 2012. No followers in Spotify, Soundcloud. No coverage. I can't see a case for historical importance.  scope_creep Talk  10:44, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. Except he does have coverage - an Allmusic bio cited in the article for starters (which describes him as a "leading UK garage DJ"), and he has had a top 40 hit in the UK (edit: actually three top 50 singles in the UK - see ), also sourced in the article. How many Spotify or Soundcloud followers someone has has never been an accepted measure of notability. There is also more coverage around, e.g. from the BBC, NME, The Guardian, and Billboard (...Ed Case, whose remix was responsible for Gorillaz's worldwide hit "Clint Eastwood"...), so I don't see any valid arguments for deletion in the nomination. --Michig (talk) 17:58, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Well done for finding that.   scope_creep Talk  18:19, 13 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep as per the significant coverage in multiple reliable sources shown above which enable a pass of WP:GNG and the charting singles that pass WP:NMUSIC criteria #2 (only one criteria needed), thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 19:09, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep I will add that https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/9232/ed-case/ indicates two top 40 results in the UK. Snow close? Is scope_creep interested in withdrawing? Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:53, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yip, count me in. I'll withdraw tomorrow.  scope_creep Talk  00:46, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
