Sources are all WP:PRIMARY, Beatport is not a notable chart. None of the performances are referenced. The artist should have at least one record in the national chart. No album release. Karst (talk) 23:16, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I found two chart listings. First as part of a duo Alvaro & Chaosz / "I Want You" was 4 weeks in the National Dutch Singles Top 100, where it peaked at #79 (also on #9 in the Dutch Dance Top 30). I also found the following chart position: Alvaro - Make It Funky which peaked on #11 in the Dutch Dance Top 30. So he's notable enough. However WP:PRIMARY is at stake though. There are better sources for any one who likes to rewrite the article. Google "Alvaro" "Jasper Helderman" dance 1987 and find i.e. Omroep Flevoland, DDance, etc. Ymnes (talk) 10:51, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good find that certainly addresses part of the notability issue. I tried to see if there was a page on nl.wikipedia, but there isn't? Karst (talk) 13:34, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The lack of an article on another Wikipedia doesn't tell anything about the notability on English Wikipedia. Chart listings do though, as I showed here above. The only thing we need is someone that is interested in rewriting part of the article (and understands Dutch and can write well in English). Ymnes (talk) 13:54, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note Just red the above test quickly. But if you give me Dutch prose, I'll translate it into English. Sander.v.Ginkel ^(Talk) 14:10, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Translation cannot be done because of copyrights, but I gave two links here above: one is a biography and the other is some additional information from Omroep Flevoland (and I gave a hint which words to search on Google, if you need more). The two links may give enough information for a little article on this musician. Ymnes (talk) 14:17, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as nothing at all for any solid independent notability. SwisterTwister talk 06:06, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: I have added ((BLP primary sources)) to this article, so that anyone has to improve this biographical article by adding secondary or tertiary sources, because this article relies too much on references to primary sources. XPanettaa (talk) 21:11, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It does. And the third-party sources mentioned appear to be local. I also observe (and that's what it is, just an observation) that since the AfD was posted, little has been added to article (see this diff). Karst (talk) 12:27, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Earflaps: I think you should expand this article too, as you have expanded the article MOTi back in April, because this article has not yet been expanded, the sources are all primary and none of the performances are referenced. XPanettaa (talk) 20:31, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, I've been batcalled. Unfortunately I don't think I can help much on this one, couldn't find any English sources at all to prove it's not WP:TOOSOON except those charting Dutch singles. That really should be enough to save the page, though, fits wp:Musicbio fine. Earflaps (talk) 21:04, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Earflaps: Okay, if you can't help much on this one and couldn't find any English sources at all, as you have have expanded the article back in April, you should find sources for those charting Dutch singles instead. XPanettaa (talk) 20:38, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• I think I'm going to find sources myself. That really should be enough to save the page, though, fits wp:Musicbio fine. XPanettaa (talk) 13:46, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I have added references for those charting Dutch singles. From now on, it is now notable enough and fits wp:Musicbio. XPanettaa (talk) 20:46, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
