Talk:The Flexican

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because the problem with the article is mostly a matter of lack of maintainance and information, but not a lack of relevance. Thomás Goethals (The Flexican) is one of the main producers of Major Lazer's "Watch Out For This", which is a currently a hit single. He has also worked with mainstream DJ acts and some of his tracks have been remixed by mainstream music producers, therefore he could be classified as a "breakthrough act" right now (Sorry for my English. I know it may be messy sometimes since I'm not a native speaker). The idea of the article is not promoting The Flexican (I'm not a fan or anything) but rather to have a simple, objective and easy to find source of information about him in English instead of forcing people to rely solely on his very website, an electronic dance music portal (or even a dutch hip hop portal) or the Dutch Wikipedia + a web translator, since these other websites are very likely to write about him in either a "commercially positive" or a "sensationalistic" light focused solely on his DJ career than his life, career and awards as a whole (i.e.: Many people are looking for a source of basic biography and information without having to go through news promoting a new single or a show at certain venue, for example).

Talking more objectively about the quality of the article itself: A translation of the "Awards and Nominations" and "Discography" sections from his Dutch Wikipedia article is recommended. More external reference would be ideal too, so that the information appearing here can be taken as more reliable than currently. I would like to have some help doing these tasks from now on, as I don't have enough time to edit Wikipedia, everyday and everytime. Hope you understand and thanks beforehand. --Arikk507
