Max Cooper (electronica musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article was brought to my attention by a disgruntled new editor whose similar article had been rejected at AfC. Cooper seems to have recently (2010) turned to producing dance mixes and I can't see any reliable coverage about him online (though he's due to appear at a major festival in 2013). There's an Independent blog post, but it is Cooper describing himself. The IDJ magazine (cited in the article) does not seem to have anything about him in its online archive. Seems at the moment to fail WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. Note that the article is authored and devloped by Cooper's manager, which raises a major WP:COI problem too.

 * Keep - A Google News search found recent results here and here while Google News archives also found results here. This and this suggest he performed at the Decibel Festival three months ago in Seattle and performed at the GLADE Festival this past June (it's not easy searching for reliable sources to find the festival date but found a decent one here) at Houghton Hall with a link here and an interview here. This mentions he has collaborated with other electronica acts including Echaskech. I haven't found that much but this tour listing suggests he has not become widely known yet but is starting to gain attention (his website has several tour dates listed for the new year) and is mainly based in the UK. He also recently released an EP, Conditions One, collaborating with Braids, Ghosting Season and D/R/U/G/S (aka Callum Wright). I plan to improve the article later today, SwisterTwister   talk  17:46, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. SwisterTwister has done a sterling job of inserting some reliable, secondary sources into the article, and I think these show that WP:MUSIC is met. Bravo. — sparklism  hey! 14:42, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep and barnstar to SwisterTwister for saving this. I didn't check every source he added, but there's enough significant magazine coverage of the article's subject to establish notability. -- Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)   17:22, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - SwisterTwister sums it up pretty well; has nailed it. &mdash;  Yash [talk] 09:46, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
