[edit] Randy Katana
No evidence of notability is presented in the sub-stub article. It should be expanded and referenced or deleted. Edison 07:02, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- Should be a speedy delete as WP:CSD A7, I don't see any real assertion of notability here other than being a popular local DJ. No references to anything that might establish notability, either. Tubezone 07:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- How about trying minimal diligency, my deletionist colleagues? `'mikkanarxi 07:34, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- weeak keep. I don't understand notability of DJs. But this one seems visible, if he doesn't lie. Like, from his website:
- His releases in 2004-2005
- Randy Katana "One Solid Wave"
- Number one on most Dutch dance charts. Also this track influenced the dance industry in such a way *the most trance tracks are now using a tribal beat instead of the usual "bass drum baseline back beat"
- Randy Katana "In Silence"
- Number one on most Dutch dance charts. First Dance smash on radio 538. Record of the year "www.Tranceaddict.com"
- Randy Katana "Fancy Fair 2005"
- Number one on most Dutch dance charts. Second Dance smash on radio 538. Reaching several commercial charts like Dutch top 100 nr. 43, Slam FM top 40 nr 8. Dutch top 50 nr. 43.

- Weak keep. If assertions are true, he would indeed be notable in his field. I'd like to see some references though. --- RockMFR 08:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

- Comment Ditto, the guy gets 172,000 ghits, there shouldn't be any problems with the author drumming up getting enough references and assertions of notability to make this article float instead of flush. As it sits right now it just says he's a popular DJ, and there's like a kajillion popular DJ's that are NN. Tubezone 08:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment If someone can find 2 or 3 reliable and verifiable independent sources and add them to the article that would justify keeping it. There is a reference section there, just waiting for some such references to be added, such as Dutch version of Billboard or some such to document claimed chart-topping record sales, or reviews in a paper.Edison 16:47, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
