This is an article that just never should have existed. I read it and still don't understand what the topic is. First, it starts talking about a person who play music like a dj, but isn't because he also plays video. So like I did, you're probably thinking its a VJ (remember when they used to have them on MTV)? But no, the article insists that they are not that either. Next the article takes a left-turn and goes into an in-depth discussion about some obscure device that Pioneer put out 15 years ago. (I guess it never caught on). The article uses made-up terms such as "DVJ discs"(Google it, there's no such thing), and "DVJ player"/"DVJ mixer". (other than the Pioneer device, that doesn't exist either) This article is pure WP:OR and WP:SYNTH Rusf10 (talk) 03:29, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with prejudice. This cruft has been around here since 2007. How is that even possible? Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 11:03, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per accurate reasoning by nom. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 11:17, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete largely per nom; article is a vast sea of WP:OR mixed with semi-promotional details, although there does appear to be a (i.e., one) book, How to DVJ: A Digital DJ Masterclass, indicating that, at one time (2007?), there was a wave the author was hoping to ride. Wave seems to have crashed though as, even in Internet era, nothing else seems to discuss this subject, implying WP:GNG failure, too. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 13:13, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per JohnFromPinckney, article is full of WP:OR, and was possibly made by someone trying to jump on a fad. User:Kosmosnaut87 17:59, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because it is not a thing. Kudos to the nominator for hunting this one down and for reading through the mush. Should be deleted per WP:OR and WP:SYNTH, and possibly an attempted WP:PROMOTION for a device that was new at the time but didn't catch on. Better late than never. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 23:29, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agree with nom and also there aren't supporting citations. Lesliechin1 (talk) 18:55, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
