One source from a rock music website, has indepth coverage of this DJ. Otherwise a legendary DJ from an English speaking country doesn't have much independent sources. --Marvellous Spider-Man 05:42, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Easy Keep - while not quite a John Peel, is a very notable individual in his field. Also a lot of mentions if you search for "Tom Russell + radio" (once you weed out those for the other Tom Russell). And his just published autobiography already has RS mentions, such as [1], [2], [3].

The first is non-rs and the other two seem to be advertising his book ("Now on sale for just £14.99") AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 12:29, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You will have to cite a prior RS discussion to support your non-rs claim. The second two sources are RS (the first of them, though tabloid, is ok for this sort of usage); book reviews normally state prices. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 16:00, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Notable in his field. I think it passes WP:MUSICBIO...Rameshnta909 (talk) 17:50, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Major sources have already been identified. I see no reason to delete here. TheMagikCow (talk) 17:36, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
