My reasoning is, per [[WP:ELNO]], that the link "does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article." I see no reason why a very short webpage with two-sentence definitions should be appended to this much longer and more thorough article. [[User:Binksternet\|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet\|talk]]) 13:53, 1 April 2009 (UTC) Line 210 ⟶ 214: '''Oppose'''. The term "DJ" can just as commonly be used as a person's nickname or given name. The current situation is preferable since the current title has [[WP:NATURALDAB\|natural disambiguation]] and a proper hatnote explaining to editors that "DJ redirects here" and presents them with the disambiguation page.

It looks like somebody obsessed with hip hop and social justice splooged all over the page.

Reading through the section I don't understand what's the actual 'role'. [[User:Iiiked\|Iiiked]] ([[User talk:Iiiked\|talk]]) 05:13, 25 January 2018 (UTC) :: Doesn't comply with [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view]]. [[Special:Contributions/154.5.234.189\|154.5.234.189]] ([[User talk:154.5.234.189\|talk]]) 07:01, 9 September 2021 (UTC) == External links modified == Line 475 ⟶ 480: \| caption2 = }} :::::I notice that Wikipedia tends to favor lead images that depict the contemporary thing rather than the historical one. A historical DJ image would be definitely be appropriate for the "History" section though. As far as addressing the article's RECENTISM, that would certainly take a major rewrite, which may not stick, given that radio DJs are now a ~~small~~smaller segment of the DJ profession thanks to broadcast station playlist automation. There has been some consensus in the past affirming the modern popular notion of a DJ as a club DJ, which led to the creation of a sub-article, [[History of radio disc jockeys]] to clarify the historical evolution of the term. Anyway, I for one, agree that a pair of lead images depicting Club and Radio DJs would be a good solution. - [[User:LuckyLouie\|LuckyLouie]] ([[User talk:LuckyLouie\|talk]]) 02:05, 13 November 2019 (UTC) :I really like the air base DJ photo with the big hand in the foreground, because it shows the typical action of many DJs rather than showing off a glamour photo of a particular DJ. I don't like the idea of pairing the big hand photo with the female DJ in a red dress because that image looks posed, and because the pairing would put too many Caucasian DJs into the article. We should show a DJ with darker skin color. [[User:Binksternet\|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet\|talk]]) 03:05, 13 November 2019 (UTC) == Splitting proposal == I propose that sections ''[[Disc_jockey#Software]]'' be split into a separate page called ''[[DJ software]]''. DJ softwares are highly used nowdays (eg [[VirtualDJ (software)]], [[Mixx]], etc) and this section is large enough to make its own page. [[User:Saunderson Anreef\|Saunderson Anreef]] ([[User talk:Saunderson Anreef\|talk]]) 16:04, 16 May 2020 (UTC) : If it's notable on its own and there are enough sources to carry a stand alone article, it could certainly be split. Someone has to write the article. - [[User:LuckyLouie\|LuckyLouie]] ([[User talk:LuckyLouie\|talk]]) 18:44, 31 March 2021 (UTC) : If further information is added to expand on the topic it may be split. Anyways it also depends also on the consensus of editors and contributors.

[[User:Gusfriend\|Gusfriend]] ([[User talk:Gusfriend\|talk]]) 05:21, 2 February 2022 (UTC) == Grand Wizzard Theodore == The image in the "Techniques" section shows [[Grand Wizard Theodore]] on the right. He is posing with an unknown person. The sentence in the caption about [[Grandmaster Flash]] was unnecessarily confusing, so I removed it. - [[User:LuckyLouie\|- LuckyLouie]] ([[User talk:LuckyLouie\|talk]]) 14:54, 31 December 2021 (UTC) == Arbitrary choice of photos / promos? == This kind of article must only have photos of people who in some way or another have had profound influence on the subject. Looks like we now (again) have various promo photos which do not rise to such a standard. Anyone with better knowledge than mine who'd like to delete a photo or two or three? [[User:SergeWoodzing\|SergeWoodzing]] ([[User talk:SergeWoodzing\|talk]]) 08:37, 14 February 2024 (UTC) :Be [[WP:BRD\|bold]] and make the common sense edits you feel are appropriate. If someone feels strongly, they will revert, and that will lead to a discussion here on Talk to find the best solution.
