[edit] Mostafa Amar

Notability Questioned - 500 odd google searches here - written like a vanity article manchesterstudent 23:12, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I think it is interesting to be able to read about pop stars from Egypt, especially when even less prominent pop stars from english speaking countries get articles on Wikipedia. The text here, though, should most definitely be cleaned up. -Karsten

• Comment - I have renamed the AFD and pointed it to the article rather than to a redirect. BigDT 16:37, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, but needs Cleanup and add references - when googling for "Mostafa Amar" rather than for "Moustafa amar", there are many more google hits and this person's music certainly seems to be notable elsewhere in the world. BigDT 16:37, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep the article is ok, but it's uses the word best twice in the first paragraph. Delete unless that sort of style of writing is fixed. POV!--Andeh 17:25, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, cleanup -- getcrunkjuice^contribs 18:49, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I know nothing about this guy but he seems to be notable and keeping the article is consistent with anti-systemic bias. We've got articles on failed American Idol contestants, and he seems far more important than they are, albeit not as well-known to most Americans. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Interlingua (talk • contribs).
• Keep and major cleanup per above. This article reeks of POV. TheKillerAngel 12:54, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep but apply a npov tag since its not currently neutral. JeffBurdges 12:57, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
