I can't seem to find any reliable coverage associated with the subject that isn't already archived. Existing sources on the article are mostly self-published. Fails WP:MUSICBIO. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 16:19, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related page because it is dependent on this page and would be meaningless without it:

Keep, a simple search on electronic music media sites reveal ample sources: Dancing Astronaut and YourEDM. Perhaps the page can be expanded with these sources, replacing the self-published ones currently available. One of his EPs has also charted so it doesn't obviously fail WP:NMUSIC (Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.), but when combined with the various independant sources helps to keep it afloat of any notability issues. aNode (discuss) 16:33, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the article already has a reference to the reliable source AllMusic biography and together with the coverage above passes WP:GNG as well as WP:NMUSIC for a charting EP as well as significant coverage for criteria 1, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 16:46, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Has an EP charted on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums [1], an acceptable chart per WP:BILLBOARDCHARTS, passing WP:MUSICBIO. Also, passes WP:GNG with sources from AllMusic [2], Billboard [3], Earmilk [4], Dancing Astronaut [5][6], Your EDM[7][8]. Flooded with them hundreds 17:05, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator comment I realize I have failed to see the charted EP and extensive coverage that is not already used in the article, however, at this time, I am not opposed to merging the discography back to the main article, not to address the users that tried to "add" to the main article's discography section, but that it just wasn't time for a separate page. The main article is already a bit short as it is. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 17:21, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
