Tittsworth

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Like most DJs, there is going to be little significant and reliable news coverage and several of them are simply event listings. There is an interview here which focuses with his album rather than significant information, another news article here (provides little significant information) and another news article here (requires purchase). There is also one mention for an event here and two mentions here. The best sources I found are this Washington Informer article (mentioning his club and that he is from Los Angeles) and this Taiwan Times article (claims that he was among URB magazine's Top 100 Artists of 2007 and mentions his ancestry at the second page). There's also a Polish newspaper article here and a Swedish news article here, I'm not fluent with Polish or Swedish but it would appear that the articles would be insufficient. This Washington Post article claims he has toured with Kanye West and Kid Sister. Although he is well-known at Washington, D.C. clubs, it is likely that any additional sources would be unreliable blogs and such. If he becomes as well-known as David Guetta, he may be notable for a Wikipedia article again. I should also note that the article was deleted as A7 this past March.

Keep Billboard [1] The Times [2] Pitchfork [3] XLR8R [4] [5] Complex [6] URB [7] more [8] 86.44.18.165 (talk) 02:53, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from the pitchfork link, several of those references are small and insignificant mentions which is what I was mentioned at my nomination above. Additionally, the first xlr8r article wouldn't provide anything appropriate for an encyclopedia aside from "I live in College Park" which would be abysmally insignificant for an actual article. The second xlr8r link is simply a review for the album, not him. Although the MySpace profile appears to provide several news articles, I can't read the extremely small text. I know DJs never receive the best news coverage and several of them are simply blogs and other unreliable sources. SwisterTwister talk 03:37, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Flim-flam. I stand by the links given & invite others to check them. 86.44.16.12 (talk) 14:47, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - congrats to SwisterTwister for doing the groundwork and uncovering some potentially okay sources. But I think the result is Tittsworth scraping over the WP:GNG hurdle. The Washington Post article is not overly long but the Taiwan Times article is long and detailed. These two alone would suggest he is more than just a local DJ.

Keep. Between the Pitchfork review and the Taipei Times article in particular, along with other sources listed above and found elsewhere online [9][10][11] (with seemingly others in print - e.g., this article in Les Inrockuptibles), there is sufficient coverage in my view for this person to meet WP:MUSICBIO.
