Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wouter Van Belle
@Girth Summit, Joaquin89uy, S Marshall, Skyerise, and Vanamonde:: I recreated this from scratch, I only noticed the AfD when a link to Van Belle was removed from an article on my watchlist. Vanamonde, can you reintroduce the links you removed please? As for the others, I can't judge the previous article, which I haven't seen, but it really wasn't hard to see that there are plenty of sources about him (the first 7 sources in the article now are just a selection) and that he is clearly notable. One of the few Belgian producers who has had international success, and who has produced hit singles and albums for some 30 years now, including the best Flemish song ever.

@Vanamonde93: when neither your signature nor the name at the top of your userpage actually matches your username, pings go wrong... Fram (talk) 12:12, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- On Dutch-language sources, I would always defer to those who read Dutch, but for my future knowledge, could you explain to me what's reliable about Ultra-Top?—S Marshall T/C 12:16, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- It's the official chart institute, these charts are broadcast by the Belgian radio stations and are constantly referenced by Belgian media[1]. They are databases, so not sufficient on their own to give notability, but they are reliable for their info (both on who wrote and produced songs, and on what singles and albums charted).

- @Fram: I've re-added the links as a courtesy, but I do think you could have done so yourself without notifying me. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:05, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks! Fram (talk) 16:16, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

- You can use sources like this, this (paywall), this is good as well, this, this, ... Oh, and he has won a Red Bull Elektropedia Lifetime Achievement Award![2], and is featured in some books like here and here. Fram (talk) 18:24, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
- No concerns from me about the newly rewritten article - obviously the sources were out there, just beyond my skills to find. Girth Summit (blether) 16:58, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
