Vanic is a renowned disc jockey from Canada and has over millions of hits, per video. He is arguably one of the most popular, if not the most popular DJ to have emerged via SoundCloud and YouTube. To delete this page would be like deleting Obama's page... if he was a disc jockey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yiffmeister420 (talk • contribs) 22:50, 17 January 2015 (UTC) — Yiffmeister420 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I'd argue that Vanic is notable enough. I'm not sure exactly what sources you need to verify that, but his SoundCloud, Facebook and Twitter should be References if they aren't already. They amass over 100,000 individual likes and his SoundCloud and YouTube videos amass over 5 million views. In addition, he has already started playing in some of Canada's headlining festivals and electronic music venues and events. The references can be added to verify this, and I believe (and I may be wrong) but they were in a previous version of the wiki post. — NoahWeidner (talk) 10:49, 17 January 2015 (UTC)  — Noahweidner (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete - Number of followers on social media is irrelevant as it relates to Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines. I see no significant coverage about this DJ in multiple independent reliable sources that would establish inclusion. - Whpq (talk) 21:03, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON. The article says he only became "prominent" last year, and that's probably why he does not meet the notability criteria at this time. The article contains no Reliable Sources. In a search, the closest thing I found to a Reliable Source was a passing mention at TechCrunch. Maybe in a year or two he will have gained the notability we need, but for now, no. --MelanieN (talk) 05:31, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
