Deletion of Kuniyuki Takahashi

Comment: given the sources presented above, there's enough independent coverage in my view to support an article/meet

Comment: First, I think the article on Koss (musician)|Koss should be added to this AfD since it is the same person (these should have been merged long ago). Second, it was not easy searching for articles on this fellow in Japanese because the kanji for his name were not initially clear. There are actually two musicians named Kuniyuki Takahashi active in Sapporo. But I don't think this article is referring to http://vgmdb.net/artist/14598 this fellow, who has a Japanese Wikipedia article: :ja:高橋邦幸. It seems that it is referring to http://www.clubberia.com/ja/interviews/309-Kuniyuki-Takahashi/ this guy. Even in Japanese, he uses the romaji "Kuniyuki" or occasionally "高橋クニユキ". Assuming it's the right person, there are some other articles on him: http://www.neo-w.com/2009/03/kuniyuki-takahashi.html. http://www.plus81.com/plus/tnf/06/talk6_1.html, http://gfsa.co.za/dj-kuniyuki-takahashi-to-perform-for-the-first-time-in-south-africa/. Oricon has I think two entries on him, but shows charting in neither case: http://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/artist/386333/, http://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/artist/401111/. Unless others can find more RS, this does not seem to pass

Comment: deletion. It's obvious this is the electronic music artist/DJ as per the official Discogs links underneath. He is well known to followers of the deep house and electronic/future jazz scenes, and has played not just across Japan, but also internationally, regularly. He's also got a pretty extensive release catalogue (as can be seen on Discogs) with releases and remixes on a great many Japanese, European, and US labels, and also was one of the main DJ's at the Sapporo club called Precious Hall, which many of the big NYC, London, et al. DJ's (AFAIR, NYC DJ François Kevorkian commented about how good it was, for example) considered to have the best sound-system in world. I don't think deletion is appropriate, as he is a notable act within his scene, though obviously not outside of the underground music scene – and we do not single out smaller artists with decent back catalogues for deletion under  guidelines. I can agree with merging the Koss article into this one though, given it's simply one of his pseudonyms that makes sense, but completely eradicating his article is a definite no

Comment: This guy ''is'' pretty well known in electronic music circles, but it's not easy to find any real evidence of him meeting . For starters, even though Mule Musiq is a reasonably big label, it's still a redlink here, which kind of points to it NOT being considered as "one of the more important indie labels." The best I could find for independent coverage in reliable sources was a http://www.residentadvisor.net/review-view.aspx?id=5406 review and a http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=18313 news article at Resident Advisor. Sadly, I don't think that's enough, but I'd love to be proven wrong
