• DJ Andarial has a very large following in Texas, if there is an event of noteworthy value, he is there. He has a large fan base, which is adding itself to his newly created myspace as listed. (His website was attacked and taken down, currently being re-designed).

  Please note this is an independent biography done on the be-half of Dj Andarial, I am a fan, I am going to one of his shows tomarrow night, it's a 4 1/2 hour show and I travel around 40 miles and rent a room just to go see him perform.

  I am also told that Numark has contacted BPM Productions to start commercial sponsorship talks with outfitting DJ Andarial with Numark equipment.

  I believe we can all agree that DJ's (Disc-Jockey's) are well known, from DJ Sasha to Paul Oakenfold to Benny Bennassi to Orbital, DJ Andarial is on everyone's tongues in the Dance music scene (hate that term) but he is, and you will hear them talk about a "musical revolution taking place, switching from Rap and Hip-hop to hard trance and techno and house music, they give only one name that is responsible, that's Dj Andarial. People know and use his name.

  DJ Andarial is not going anywhere, he has assigned dates for a European tour, and is finalizing contracts for those venues, DJ Andarial is going to become part of the Dance music and DJ Historical Record. -- Fenixasin | 15:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

  • ... none of which has any relevance to whether this person satisfies our WP:BIO criteria for people to have encyclopaedia articles. However, your explanation that you are a fan writing a primary source biography of this person from your own firsthand experience indicates that you are not aware of our Wikipedia:No original research policy. Unless this person already has a published biography, it is not possible to write an encyclopaedia article containing xyr biography. Wikipedia is not a primary source. If you want to write a never-before-published biography of someone, please publish a book. Uncle G 17:54, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Fenixasin, whose long exposition above makes it evident that WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC are not satisfied. My Alt Account 19:03, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Fenixasin indeed. If, as he says, "DJ Andarial is going to become part of the Dance music and DJ Historical Record", then come back when he's done so, not before. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. wikipediatrix 23:21, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• So how are you supposed to do anything, wait untill it's in a magazine, then it has relevance? Seems kinda underhanded to me, I mean what the guy has to die before he can have a biography in the encyclopedia? I mean jeez, what about the Kat von D article on here, what she got on a show for tatoos, she's doing that now, it's the same thing here, I want more discussion on this, the articles you cited have appeal clauses in them. I want to invoke those clauses and get more than 2 people to propose a delete. Fenixasin | 5:19, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
  • It's a perfectly normal part of being a tertiary source, and not underhanded at all. I repeat: Wikipedia is not a primary source. If you want to publish your firsthand, primary source, biography of this person, please write a book, write a magazine article, or use your own web site. Uncle G 10:30, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Wikipediatrix. Angus McLellan (Talk) 08:57, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete' per everyone. So how are you supposed to do anything, wait untill it's in a magazine, then it has relevance? Exactly. Danny Lilithborne 00:22, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Fenixasin, who has obviously violated Wikipedia is not a primary source with his self-inflated biography. This is not a spot for you to run on about yourself, get verified then you can be published here until then, do something constructive and not deconstructive.
