Contested PROD. Fails notability guidelines (:WP:GNG and :WP:MUSICBIO). Regular name changes doesn't help. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:32, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

• Keep: Artist is mentioned multiple times in DJ Mag [https://djmag.com/news/joyryde-drops-skrillex-collaboration-san-diego-0] [https://djmag.com/news/joyryde-unveils-visual-%E2%80%98i-ware-house%E2%80%99-watch], as well as Billboard covering one of his music videos.

• Agreed, but passing mentions is not significant coverage. (see :WP:GNG). Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:06, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

• Keep: WP:MUSIC BIO, #11: "Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network." He was prominently featured on BBC Radio, the largest radio station in Great Britain. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04m435n Also, a google news search for "JOYRYDE" will reveal numerous news articles from websites such as DJ Mag, Your EDM, Run The Trap, EDM Sauce, Earmilk, EDM Tunes, EDM Identity, and EDM Chicago, that would count as significant coverage, not just passing mentions. And his upcoming collaboration with Skrillex will boost his popularity. Abiding by WP:Crystal, I won't argue that this will increase his news coverage, since we should not predict things that may or may not happen. However, any producer who releases a collaboration with Skrillex will without a doubt receive an influx of people who discovered them through Skrillex. This much, at the very least, can be assumed about the collaboration: that the amount of people listening to JOYRYDE will increase. From this, it can be inferred that his overall popularity will increase. Whether that will cause an increase in news coverage remains to be seen. Clbsfn (talk) 16:30, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
• Presumes again. And I'm sure the Beeb wrote at-length about the subject... Oh. They didn't? Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:51, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
• The BBC JOYRYDE mix was the sole subject of several news articles on different websites: [http://www.edmtunes.com/2017/01/joyryde-diplo-and-friends/ EDMTunes], [http://www.youredm.com/2016/12/25/joyryde-unleashes-hour-long-diplo-friends-takeover-mix/ Your EDM], [https://djmag.com/news/joyryde-releases-diplo-friends-mix-announces-new-tour-dates DJ Mag] (proof that it's a reliable source), [https://www.edmsauce.com/2017/01/13/joyryde-drops-diplo-announces-tour-dates/ EDM Sauce], and [http://edmchicago.com/2017/01/15/joyryde-announces-n-headlining-tour/ EDM Chicago]. Several of these articles also cover section WP:MUSICBIO #4: "Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country."

• I'm convinced. Please withdraw the nom. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:39, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
