Maybe instead of the various tags that now occupy more room than the actual article, we should just make a new tag:

[edit] Notability

It is currently unclear whether this DJ is notable enough for an article on Wikipedia, since not enough secondary sources are cited. By the notability criteria for biographies, independent reliable sources are required to make sure that the subject is notable. One link is given to "The DJ list", but this more seems to be a kind of "business directory" for DJs, and the article about Mark Dynamics reads like a press release of his, so this can probably not be counted as "independent coverage".

Better sources might be, for example, significant press coverage about the person, or an independent biography. Also, if he had national/international tours reported in the press, or he released multiple albums, he might pass the criteria in WP:MUSIC which warrant inclusion. The article gives hints to that effect, but again, it does not cite appropriate sources.

For the time being, I am changing those many warning tags a bit, in particular replacing the “importance” tag with “notability”. Sorted as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 09:33, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Mark Dynamix is certainly well known enough to be included on Wikipedia. He is the author of more compliations sold in Australia than anyone else and as a dude in my early twenties, practically everyone I know has heard his Ministry of Sound annual CD from this year. As a mathematician, I know there are plenty of maths people who have wiki pages who are far less known then Mark Dynamix. M0rt 09:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Also, the DJ list is a very well respected poll of world wide DJs and is very frequently cited in magazines. I'm including a link to the bio on in the mix website of Mark Dynamix. Most people who are seriously into dance music in Australia frequent this respected site and I think it's inclusion is appropriate as it is a third party. M0rt 09:22, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Adelaide Gig

It is not of sufficient relevance to include that he played at HQ at Adelaide. As a DJ, he plays a different club in a different city every weekend. He comes and plays at Family in Brisbane and I've seen him play many times. M0rt 09:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
