• Delete. I don't consider Discogs to be WP:RS, and cite it only in support of facts, never as evidence of notability. I do, however, sometimes cite it as evidence of lack of notability, as I now do. He seems to have recorded precisely one remix, in 2015. For good measure, a Google search turned up precisely nothing that looked WP:RS. Fails WP:GNG, WP:NBIO, etc. Narky Blert (talk) 11:47, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Discogs consists of user-generated content, and is not proof of lack of notability either. There are multiple reliable articles on Insomniac, Hip Hop Weekly and other blog sources like yourEDM. Seems like the artist has some notability and noteriety within the music and entertainment industry. Although Discogs and other articles along with AllMusic or IMDb may have the more WP:RS than other reliable sources, they do show some noteriety for musicians. Especially independent artists. 22:02, 12 November 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1012:B043:458D:6160:2228:B01:8302 (talk)

• Do Not Delete. I do consider Discogs to be WP:RS, and actually do cite it only when in support of facts. I do also see that he has some good press on Insomniac and Hip Hop Weekly and this can sometimes be cited as evidence of notability. I do agree that he seems to have recorded a few good remixes, in 2015 and 2017. For good measure, a Google search turned up a few good articles on that looked WP:RS. Passes WP:GNG, WP:NBIO, etc. 11:47, 11 November 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.75.34.70 (talk)

Comment. Discogs consists of user-generated content, and is no more WP:RS than, for example, AllMusic or IMDb. Narky Blert (talk) 20:02, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
