[edit] Dafna Arad

Non-notable singer. Was PRODed and deleted, but the author wanted it restored. The Google results don't look very promising, so delete. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - Cited in many works of media, member of notable band. Israeli ska? That makes the subject the prominent representative of both a local area and a notable style. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 22:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete - I live in Israel and I can tell this is a self promotion of NN person. --Haham hanuka 16:39, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Delete...I think I'm with Haham on this one... --Bill (who is cool!) 00:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: Google results are meaningless for names ordinarily written in non-latin characters - such as Dafna Arad here... - CrazyRussian talk/email 02:37, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Google hits are meaningless FULL STOP -- Librarianofages 02:43, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep NN under WP:MUSIC but Fits in under WP:BIO, cover of train and assualt are highly notable, so much so that they were shown on TV, and printed in Newspapers. -- Librarianofages 02:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep part of a notable musical group meets WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC somewhat. Yanksox 02:52, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I can see no evidence that the ska band is in anyway notable.. but anyway, meets WP:BIO which is good enough for me -- Librarianofages 02:57, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, fails WP:MUSIC but satisfies WP:BIO. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 04:43, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• keep please satisfies bio guideline Yuckfoo 06:12, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Please explain, in what way does it meet WP:BIO? Surviving a train accident (which most of the passengers did) does not make one notable. Even being attacked by a celebrity does not make one notable. She's been involved in notable events, but she herself is not notable. Her band, sorry, I've never heard of it. I live in Israel, I ran a search on her name on Google in Hebrew, and was surprised to discover what I consider to be the most notable fact about her is not even mentioned in the article - that she is the sister of a marginally notable semi-celebrity in the Tel-Aviv scene, Roee "Chiki" Arad. Even that fact does not make her notable. This article smacks to me of self-promotion. --woggly 07:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• keep notable enough - appeared several times in the world press regarding the Daniel Barenboim incident and others --Marina T. 11:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• keep Interesting Shmila 09:32, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and woggly. Fail to see notability in either bio or band. Tychocat 11:23, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep per WP:BIO, but article needs a cleanup. Scorpiondollprincess 14:54, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete Comes close in several categories. JChap (talk • contribs) 00:52, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
