Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Van Snyder (DJ)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. I'd offer to Draftify fhis so that it could go through AFC but it looks like this route has already been attempted. Until this artist receives more significant coverage (or you can locate it) it looks like they will not have a Wikipedia article. Liz Read! Talk! 20:07, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Van Snyder (DJ)

Contested PROD; original reasoning was: Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. Article has been WP:REFBOMBED without any significant coverage.. After a WP:BEFORE, reasoning still holds. Jalen Folf  (talk)  18:52, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Page has already been reviewed. Also I think you got a personal probleme with Van Snyder @JalenFolf because you are always declining and deleting everything that has to do with him, even if the sources and references are reliable and true xD. Probably you would even consider him for deletion if he had 100M followers and billboard no 1 charting hits. what else you want?? I really think you got a personal issue with this topic, since in your profile stands that you are Fan of Monstercat and amember of WikiProject Electronic Music. I see clearly that you got something against him, your decisions what you do are not objective. I can also just copy and paste my reason for keeping article:

Van Snyder (DJ) should be kept.

@MaxnaCarta @JalenFolf

The reasons for this:

.) approved Wikipedia article in other language does exist

.) is artist of renowned record labels as the major label Warner Music Denmark

.) Google Knowledge Panel includes actually signed record labels as the major label Warner Music Denmark

.) many collaborations and remixes with renowned artists all over the world such as Akon, Flo Rida, Lil Wayne ft. T-Pain, Bonnie Tyler, Headhunterz, Klaas, Michael Mind Project, Plastik Funk etc..

.) coverage in the biggest EDM magazines in the world like WeRaveYou, EDMHouseNetwork

.) big and verified social media presence with millions of followers

.) discogs.com

.) according to 1001tracklists.com and songstats.com he is supported by the biggest and most known DJs in the world, hundrets of the biggest DJs in the world are playing his songs in their radioshows and DJ-Sets across the globe.

.) was played on Tomorrowland 2022, Mainstage

.) coverage in one of Denmarks biggest radiostations DR P3

.) estabilished since 2009 in the international EDM scene, you can follow his career back to/since 2009

regarding Wikipedia guidelines of notability more requirements of notability are met like being signed on really renowned and notable record labels such as Warner Music Denmark, Revealed Recordings and Black Hole Recordings. Supported in the biggest EDM News pages worldwide, collaborations with renowned and notable artists exist, chart successes on official beatport Top 100 charts exist too: BeatStats - ARTISTINFO - Van Snyder, played on one of Denmarks biggest radiostations DR P3, an indication that this article/artist is notable and relevant is also (even if not a must) but that article in other Wikipedia language exists. Altogether, a wrong decision to mark this article for deletion. Offcourse the article should be improved and for example discogs and the beatport top 100 charts successes added to references. PS: i will add now discogs and beatport top 100 charts sources to the article --Base-X (talk) 09:49, 22 October 2022 (UTC).[ reply]


 * Also I will contest the deletion request with the reason what I wrote above. --Base-X (talk) 19:13, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Also I feel like you just keep searching and hunting for articles for deletion request xD. thats not like it should be. Really many facts are proven by official sources! --Base-X (talk) 19:18, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Notability on other Wikipedias does not translate to notability here on the English Wikipedia; our criterias are vastly different from others. Can you provide the other language pages despite this? Jalen Folf   (talk)  22:58, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Discogs isn't a reliable source for wikipedia . We need sources discussing him at length, like a newspaper or magazine article. Something in Bild? Social media followers aren't an indication we can use for wikipedia, as they can easily be falsified. Oaktree b (talk) 20:42, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

--Base-X (talk) 19:33, 22 October 2022 (UTC) according to WP:NMUSIC musicbrainz.org can be taken as official and reliable source: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/51c9c2ec-12bc-42a5-97b1-674f07a4fec1/recordings Van Snyder on musicbrainz.org - Overview - Recordings i will include this into the references list and remove many references so that the article is no longer anymore WP:REFBOMBED. Also NOTE: that musicbrainz.org link includes official references to the Headhunterz Remix of his Make it Loud and appearances on many real physical CD-Samplers, released by major labels, CD-Samplers like Future Trance and Dream Dance, which are really huge and well known! I will include this all in the article. --Base-X (talk) 12:32, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Zero reliable sources found; what's used for the article is a Google search of his name(!) and brief mentions. I'm not sure where these other "approved articles", nothing links to this page from other language wikis. Oaktree b (talk) 20:39, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - Does not meet musical notability. Have not analyzed references because article has been reference-bombed.  Robert McClenon (talk) 06:04, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment to User:Base-X - Overly enthusiastic fan editors of entertainment figures are often mistaken for undisclosed paid editors. You appear to be an overly enthusiastic good-faith editor who may be mistaken for a spammer.  Robert McClenon (talk) 06:04, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * removed many references because article was/is WP:REFBOMBED, added new reliable sources from: musicbrainz.org, wrote a sentence that Van Snyder released on physical CD samplers by major labels like Future Trance and Dream Dance, also listed on musicbrainz.org, I hope now it's bit better :) --Base-X (talk) 12:47, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * removed google search and further 2x 1001tracklists.com from references, not needed --Base-X (talk) 12:51, 24 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete - Absolutely no reliable sources and not one that treats the subject in depth. A plethora of sources or track listings does not notability make. Wikipedia is not for promoting people's careers. Fails WP:NMUSICBIO.  Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:08, 24 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Musicbrainz is a user generated site and isn't reliable. Oaktree b (talk) 03:06, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
