Does not appear to meet notability. The DJ Mag list is good, even if the entry is a tad brief, but I think that's the only good source here. Aside from that, you've got a database, one song charting unimpressively, a Sydney Morning Herald list which turned out to be just a list of names with no critical discussion, and his record label's website. Could not find anything additional, though anyone who knows a good archive of DJ/EDM publications should give a good look just in case there's more there.

• Keep I have identified further sourcing - 2 critical reviews in WP:RSMUSIC Mixmag, including one of his remix productions being chosen as "Tune of the Month". Various specialty e-zine publications focused on EDM do count him a big deal - with one stating Code Black is "Australian hardstyle royalty" and another stating in a critical review him being a highlight of Electric Daisy Carnival 2023. Also per WP:MUSICBIO#12 the subject has had a significant segment on national radio (BBC Radio 1), now cited in the article. On top of the DJ Mag coverage, and the charting, and an RS stating him in the top 15 DJs in Australia, sufficient here to presume notability in my view.

  You have improved the article significantly already, to the point where I'm willing to withdraw this nomination. Glad to see it happen. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 19:20, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
