• Delete a non-notable DJ.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:15, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I think someone chose to create this article because the DJ got a rush of significant media coverage for a few days back in May, including highly reliable stories from Reuters, Rolling Stone India, and several others. In short, he used to be a doctor but quit that job to go into music, and this year he quit his music career and went back to medicine to help fight the pandemic. I find this to be a very noble gesture, but in Wikipedia terms it does not bestow enough notability per WP:BLP1E. Meanwhile, his music career is totally non-notable on its own terms, with no reliable and significant coverage outside of the recent noble story, and he is only ever mentioned in relation to the rapper that he backs up. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 22:17, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Doomsdayer520: I really appreciate your research on the article and the effort you put in voting over here, But I guess its not a case of WP:BLP1E because the references like This and This whis is one of the Highly reliable refs The Telegraph are not at all discussing about his BLP1E thing they are on different secnario, You can also check this and This all are different one.

He is indeed in those publications, but the first two are non-critical softball interviews that are likely related to promotional press releases, and the second two are lists of multiple artists in which he is only mentioned briefly. Wikipedia has a rule on "significant and reliable coverage" and those publications might be reliable in themselves but they did not discuss this DJ in any significant way. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 02:05, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
