Fails WP:GNG. Relies exclusively on primary sources; current sourcing consists of a post he wrote himself, two interviews, a non-independent source with a trivial mention of him, and a webpage that doesn't mention him. I was unable to find any good secondary sources. Much of the information in the article is unverified (probably unverifiable) and possibly false. A few examples: he is not credited on several of the albums the article claims he worked on; the article claims he founded several nightclubs, yet there is no evidence of him founding any nightclubs; the article claims he formed the first acid house band, yet no sources about the history of acid house corroborate this; the article claims he is a founding member of the group TV Mania, yet he is not mentioned in the bio on the band's website. Also, it appears to be an autobiography (see WP:AUTOBIO); the creator of the article is called Marktinley ( User:Marktinley). JMB1980 ( talk) 00:20, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability. Thanks to the mix of sources, I think we're well into that territory now. Past all that, another interesting boost to notability is that this individual was a feature of an ad campaign in magazines for Iomega Jaz drives (eg [3] lots of printings). As in, the company invoked him by name and image to help advertise their product in magazines. — siro χ o 20:10, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
