 * Keep. There's enough coverage to satisfy WP:NMUSIC: A bio at Resident Advisor, profile pieces from Mixmag and Vice  as well as a few reviews of his work  and this interview. That's enough to meet the criteria for inclusion. — sparklism  hey! 07:58, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I've found a few more sources. They're admittedly not the best, but here they are:, , , . Thanks. — sparklism hey! 18:17, 25 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete I seldom weigh in on non-American subjects because of my lack of familiarity with possible foreign language sources that might prove notability. But I will state that contrary to this above Keep vote, Resident Advisor--which accounts for a full one half of the 6 sources provided in the keep argument--is not reliable. It is a membership service for creating your own content for promotional purposes. See: https://www.residentadvisor.net/about/contribute . Another source, EggLondon, is a venue's website, and all content therein is in the service of promotion. That leaves only two reliable sources, one of which, Mix Magazine, openly solicits for content ("Have a story for our magazine or website?") See: https://mixmag.net/page/contact-mixmag. IMO the Vice article is the only one that passes the notability muster, and even that one is a fairly run-of-the-mill profile that is mostly the artist talking about himself. But in fairness (and hence my "weak" vote) my sense is if other notable content is out there it will possibly be found in Spanish language sources, despite the fact that much of his claimed notability has been achieved in the English speaking world.

 * Clicking through, I can see that is right about the Resident Advisor biography being unreliable (see here) so I have struck that from my !vote above. However, RA is deemed a reliable source by WP:ALBUMS/SOURCES for their reviews. Mixmag also can be considered reliable - it's well established as a dance/electronic music magazine, and had a circulation of 70000 copies per month at the height of its popularity. The profile piece in question was written by Dave Turner, who is their 'Digital News Editor', so I don't think there is any reason to discount that as a source. Thanks :) — sparklism  hey! 21:12, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep I considered WK, but while some of the sources could be filtered out for being too close to a pure interview, I think there is sufficient acceptable coverage to demonstrate notability. Nosebagbear (talk) 23:01, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment: the guy is actually a pretty well-known DJ globally. As usual, dance DJs and producers suffer on Wikipedia due to the lack of online sources available – I can't find anything online other than what's already been mentioned above. But it's likely Hector has had further pieces written about him in print editions of Mixmag, DJ Mag, etc. Richard3120 (talk) 17:52, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
