Non notable, per
WP:GNG. Neither of the independent sources cited covers the topic in any depth, and an online search finds nothing obvious to suggest that the required level of sourcing can be found elsewhere.

Keep This is a big event in the
turntablism world. While the article may be poor there is a significant amount of independent coverage available - with statements such as "The event is a showcase of the world’s best scratch DJ’s who play portable turntables and vinyl" in a reliable music source (

WP:RS/
WP:RSMUSIC coverage includes

Not voting yet, but I will say for now that the company behind this has been on a crusade to edit-war a 27000-byte list of every winner of every variant of the competition into the article (
[5][6][7][8]), so if this article does continue to exist after this the article needs some form of protection--and more watchers, because if e.g. it gets semi-protected and the company creates another account to edit it, I'll no longer be able to revert them.
