[edit] Ali Movasat

Tagged A7 but there is an assertion of notability, so bringing it here instead. Just zis Guy you know? 20:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep. I have no idea what this article says [1], but the BBC clearly thinks he's notable, so I don't have to work through the 500,000+ Google hits to find the very small percentage that explain why. Monicasdude 01:20, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually less than 180 google hits, if you drill through. Most of them are just repetitions of the same bits of information. In fact the first line of this article clearly looks like a copy-vio.[2] He seems to have a slight notability for something called the whistle-song. Seems about the equivalent of calling somebody notable for getting a short story published. :) Delete — RJH 03:58, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep because of DDR, which arguably satisfies WP:MUSIC. Maybe. Melchoir 06:04, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. He has gotten high on several European charts. I am willing to add the charts later today.
  • Keep. There are articles on much less important characters than this fellow. I think the BBC article is proof enough that this article should be kept. --Adaś 22:44, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per the unsigned votes above. He did the "The Whistle Song", case closed. Kappa 08:42, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
