The claim is made that the subject has had success on the charts, but no proof is supplied and I could not find any reliable sources claiming such. Also, the subject himself has generated no media coverage in the usual reliable sources (per Google News), once you filter out the many references to Fonzie. If proof of his smashing commercial success is provided I'll change my mind. In the meantime, delete: not notable. Drmies (talk) 21:07, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep He seems to attract attention "Fonzerelli"&scoring=a&hl=en&ned=us&sa=N&sugg=d&as_ldate=2008&as_hdate=2009&lnav=hist14 (some of these are simply because of his attention-getting name change), and seems to be have a track on one of the "Club Sounds" compilations that Sony puts together [1]. Nominator is correct, though, that this is an unsourced article. Mandsford (talk) 21:45, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Hey Mandsford, that archivesearch link didn't produce anything for me. The most reliable thing I have found using Google is a mention in Music Week (15 July 2006). I accessed that through EBSCO and this is what it says: "Meanwhile, Tom Novy feat Lima's Take It falls. 3-4 on the Upfront Chart. It's worth mentioning primarily because Novy's market penetration is such that Take It earned 809 points from our Upfront Chart panel last week - a massive 375% more than its tally of 588 points the week before, and more than Fonzerelli's Moonlight Party scored when it was top a fortnight ago." Problem is, I have no idea what the "Upfront Chart" is, but it has a panel and a tally, and so it can hardly be a Top 40 or anything like that. That he's on a Sony compilation doesn't make him automatically notable, of course--though it is proof that he exists. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 23:25, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The "Upfront" chart is compiled from club DJs sharing what went down well when they were playing records at clubs. It's a UK comparitor to Billboard's Dance / Club Play chart: of interest to a limited audience, but compiled according to strict criteria.CJPargeter (talk) 14:22, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep because of what Mansford has just stated, plus moderate success with "Moonlight Party" in a few countries [2]. I am sure Fonzerelli is well known in the electronic music community, as well as producing remixes for large artists (e.g. Basshunter). I'm not sure if this counts as a proper reference, but the artist's page at Discogs [3] displays all of Fonzerelli's work. - И i m b u s a n i a talk 07:42, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Nomination withdrawn. Nimbusania has unearthed what the article never proved (and Mandsford's link, I repeat, didn't produce anything, nor is the Sony reference enough to establish notability). Per WP:BAND, musicians, #2 the musician is notable. I wish the article editors had done what Nimbusania did (I couldn't find it--believe me, I tried). I'll withdraw this nomination; anyone able or willing to close it? Drmies (talk) 16:22, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that it's acceptable to do a "non-admin closure" as a "Keep" under those circumstances. You can say, "The result was keep, non-admin closure, and I don't want people to get the idea that I'm doing this because of anything Mansford said..." Just kidding, no offense taken.

- Non-admin closure...that's above my pay grade, haha. Do you care to do it? (Honestly, I looked at your user page cause I thought you were an admin--I see you everywhere.) BTW, that link really doesn't do anything for me--it sends me straight to this--and the problem of course is the guy's name and how to separate the wheat from the chaff. Thanks Mandsford, and I hope you know no offense was intended, Drmies (talk) 18:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Hey, I'm fine with it (or should I say "AAAAAYYYYYY"-- I'm not sure whether the spelling is correctamundo -- oops, wrong Fonzarelli). Mandsford (talk) 21:52, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
