I cannot find any indication that this artist satisfies WP:MUSIC. I can't find a single independent reliable source to justify any of the claims made in this article either. -- Atamachat 20:57, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Note: The article's creator left the follow on the article's talk page:

{{cquote|Dave London is a prominent music producer within the electronic music scene and has been since 1996. I am one of his fans and have been listening to his music for 13 years. I believe Dave London should have a Wikipedia page as he is one of the most popular breakbeat DJ's in the business.

  • Comment - Thanks for including that. The reason why I created this AFD was to give the article's creator a chance to argue for its inclusion. There was a proposed deletion that was about to expire, but it was clear that the creator contested the deletion. -- Atamachat 21:39, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
  • I'd support deletion, although the 30 fans on his MySpace site might not agree. I can't find anything that supports keeping this. An internet search comes up with a fair bit of promotional material, but nothing that provides third-party verification of anything in the article or his importance in his field. I have not contribued to the article and have vested interest in it whatsoever. Wikipeterproject (talk) 23:33, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment It's a bit tricky to search because a google news archive search come up with a lot of hits referring to other people by the same name, or juxtapositions "Dave, London", but I did find a few independent sources that verifies some of this. Most are just mentions, but here's a paragraph in a review: [http://www.residentadvisor.net/review-view.aspx?id=1942]. Another mention: [http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/2003-03-13/music/infinite-justice]. This is not enough to establish notability in my eyes. But I may be missing sources so I'd like to give the author of the article a chance to find sources. In the absence of finding sources, I'd say to delete. Cazort (talk) 23:40, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
