The result was delete. The one "keep" proponent conceded the claim was borderline; there seems to be consensus for lack of notability. No prejudice against a recreation in future with a clearer assertion of notability and citations of reliable sources. Chick Bowen 03:14, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

The man has almost no notability: [1], and the article questionably asserts it: being a DJ and releasing an album are not claims to notablity. The Evil Spartan 16:52, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Oh. Changed to Delete as non notable DJ. OSbornarf 17:00, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep There are a lot of hits for his moniker "Anonymous Twist". There are also a lot for "DJ Apollo", but it appears that more than 1 DJ goes by that name. Here's a review from CBC Radio 3. Now Magazine named him best hip-hop artist in Toronto, information on his record company's website, review from JIVE Magazine, information from URBNET, more from Now Magazine.

  • Delete fails WP:N & WP:V - the cites above are not the significant coverage from reliable sources expected to establish notability - the coverage differs little from that accorded any local on-air personality of even passing duration. WP is not the yellow pages. Carlossuarez46 22:13, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment 2000 album review and 2007 article from Exclaim! magazine, which is a national magazine/website. I can't find any music charts that his music is on, though, so he's borderline N. Bláthnaid 10:26, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
