Non-notable musician, fails WP:NMUSIC. Meets none of the criteria set out on the policy page. A quick search using multiple terms shows a mess of trivial social media links, and close to zero independent verifiable sources. Hiàn (talk) 23:18, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. He is responsible for one of my favourite progressive house remixes of all time (his remix of Max Graham's "Tell You"), but apart from a brief period in the mid-2000s when he was popular in progressive house circles, he hasn't ever been a big name, even in dance music. The two mix albums mentioned in the article and a handful of singles are the only things he's produced, and none of them have got anywhere near charting. Mr. Fair has scaled back his DJ career to concentrate on web development, and rarely plays outside Toronto these days, so scope for improving this article in future is going to be very limited.

Delete Mr. Fair does not appear to have received substantive coverage in independent reliable sources, and thus fails the basic WP:GNG. There is no specific claim to notability, and nothing to indicate any special circumstances under WP:MUSICBIO. --Bejnar (talk) 03:24, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have reliable source coverage about him to carry the article — but even on a ProQuest search, I got a mix of glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things, and tangential name matches to a non-notable house league soccer player in a suburban pennysaver. As always, it's not what an article says that determines whether it gets to stay around here or not, it's how well the article references what it says.

Delete – Search turned up no major results, doesn't satisfy WP:GNG. Redditaddict69 ^(talk) ^(contribs) 20:05, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
