Talk:Alex Gopher

Untitled

From the number of times I've heard "Party People" on various radio stations (Slacker, XM Radio), and the reputation of the video, I think he must meet some of the notability criteria. Here are the ones I'm aiming to document:

1. Has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable.[note 1]

• http://www.magicrpm.com/artistes/alex-gopher four signed reviews
• credited as one of the 3 founders of "French touch" (French house) - another notability criterion?
• "His mischievous house production work with Etienne de Crecy as Super Discount, led to one of the French Touch movement’s cornerstone releases, the 'Super Discount' LP in 1996."

1. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.

[An album has charted in France, but not in the top 100; position is not mentioned in the criterion. I will find documentation.) Hcethatsme (talk) 23:58, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Belated follow-up: single "The Child" reached 110 on the UK charts in August 2000: Hcethatsme (talk) 16:19, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
