 * Keep I've checked all the interviews Scorz gave to media outlets  (which were my sources to write this article) and they are editorial. One of the sources is from DJ Magazine which is a notable media outlet as well. Based on that, the article isn't based on primary sources and has no original research. I did however used some other extra sources such as the official site of the record label Scorz is signed to in order to help determine his discography but I've also used individual sources from Beatport for each musical piece which is the main source. I also used 1001tracklists which is a tertiary source to determine some of the notable artists supporting his music because they all can be used as an aid to find multiple other sources since all of them have links to the artists official podcasts, sites and so on, but, I just edited it and added new secondary sources (from Apple Podcasts) on top of it. As for WP:GNG, Scorz is notable. Here's some examples: Just search for "Scorz" on google news and you will find articles about him and/or mentioning him and his music. He officially remixed musical pieces from successful artists in the dance music industry such as Afrojack,  Lost Frequencies  and DubVision. , his music is played by grammy winner/nominated artists such as Tiësto   and Armin van Buuren   . Has over 150.000 monthly listeners on Spotify . Is featured on a major-scale dance music event A State Of Trance 1000 - Utrecht  and is signed to a notable record label (Armada Music) .

 * AnderNigro, interviews given by the artist are primary sources, because it is the subject talking about himself. Being played by famous DJs doesn't establish notability (some of my DJing friends have had their tracks played by better known DJs, but that doesn't make them notable) and remixing other peoples records doesn't make you notable either, unless there is some in-depth independent coverage of that remix.

 * Comment Richard3120, thank you for the feedback! Yea I gotcha, yet, the sources I mentioned aren't interviews only, they are a mix between information by the own editor, where you can get all the information needed to have this article written (It's a really simple article, there's not too many details about the artist) and excerpts from an interview. Regarding notability, even if a play and remixing doesn't make someone notable there are another factors I mentioned above (150k Spotify montlhy listeners, millions of streams, being featured on an event for an audience of over 30k people and news articles about artist's music release) that I feel is something notable, sorry if I'm wrong.

 * Comment Here's one of the sources I mentioned above = . Most part of it is editorial text about the subject, you can write the same article I did with this source only, however I used several ones.

 * Delete: Fails WP:SINGER and WP:GNG. The article doesn't have any independent or reliable sources covering this person in-depth. Likely another attempt to use Wikipedia as a WP:SOAPBOX. Kacamata!  Dimmi!!! 05:32, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
