Entirely unsourced blp (i don't see a link to a primary source website as a reliable source at all) without an assertion of notability even on a video game musician. Part of an extensive walled garden of similiar unsourced blps. Was deprodded by an ip who couldn't demonstrate notability or reliably source it either.

 * Comment well that's not right, is it, a primary source is decent but doesn't demonstrate notability. however, at first glance at this, i will sugggest that kompakt is an important label and releasing records on it is not to be sneezed at (and probably generates coverage). 86.44.33.121 (talk) 17:04, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of charting, no evidence of significant coverage by reliable third party sources. Niteshift36 (talk) 03:53, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: kompakt appears to be the sort of "important" indie label that is the sort that meets WP:MUSIC #5. If this can be confirmed, then he would be presumptively notable. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:17, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry. I never liked that criteria. Just releasing is weak. When you consider the number of "one hit wonders" out there, if you release 2 albums and still can't chart anything, that makes you look even less notable to me. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:42, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Insufficient sourcing to establish notability. --DAJF (talk) 01:41, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. It seems that this DJ is primarily know by the stagename Kaito, but even using that name I don't find enough to meet WP:MUSICBIO. I'm still uncertain of the notability of Kompakt, and his bio on their site makes bogus claims of charting on the US Billboard club play chart; Billboard disagrees.

 * That does not give me the warm fuzzies regarding the label's status, I have to say. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:15, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
