[edit] Janan Sawa

Appears to assert insufficient notability. Delete unless notability shown during discussion. --Nlu (talk) 05:24, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom. I tried to find his album 'Nohadra' at amazon.com and didn't find it. Dionyseus 05:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I added some links. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 07:03, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete — notability not asserted asrequired by WP:MUSIC - it is up to the article to prove its notability Martinp23 10:24, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• KEEP This is silly. He is THE most famous Assyrian musician yet he can't have an article on wiki? If he can't have an article, then that means there cannot be any Assyrian musician articles on wiki? Until Assyrian music becomes famous in the world? If you go through amazon you will realise that there is no/little albums of Assyrian music. It is not our fault that Assyrian music is not popular enough around the world for it to be on amazon. 3,200 GOOGLE hits is not enough? I didn't know wiki music article must go through the amazon test? Chaldean 12:41, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Certainly, if he's "the most famous Assyrian musician," he should be kept. The question is, is he? If he is, there has to be some objective way to show that he is. --

Try to find any other Assyrian musician with that amount of Google hits. Just try and see what happens. See if anybody else comes close to 3,200. You ask "is he the most famous" - well buddy you would not know if you weren't part of our community. This is what ticks me about wiki. People take actions on things they dont know about. Instead of going for a delete, dont you think it would make sence asking one of us if indeed he is one of the famous? You obviously lack knowledge about the subject, so why do you care as much to a point that makes you take actions? Chaldean 13:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Assertion is not fact. Can you show verifiability? That is a requirement on Wikipedia. If you disagree with Wikipedia's principles, maybe you shouldn't be here. --

Your little mind is not getting the point. Maybe it is you who should not be here, since you seem to be all about distruction then creation. Chaldean 14:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - seems notable enough. Please remember that internet sites as amazon.com and google.com do reflect a systemic bias. Bertilvidet 13:12, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Its wikipedia's loss if the article is deleted.Bakaman _Bakatalk 16:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Bertil. —Khoikhoi 18:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per others. But more sources and clean would be nice. Nickieee 07:44, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
