[edit] COSTA

This was prodded, the prod removed with the words "improvement" written against the article. Totally non-notable. Also listed with this nomination is Poquito Loco which is allegedly the debut album by COSTA. Fails WP:SPAM, WP:BAND and probably WP:COPYVIO. Delete. --Richhoncho 19:05, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

This article is extremely accurate and cross-referenced in a way that verifies the content. Malicious Wikipedia 'users' have targeted this entry because they seem to be intent on making Wikipedia a strictly US & UK focused music reference with little regard for the rest of the world, let alone a small country like Cyprus. _{The above unsigned article was posted by 08:28, 24 October 2006 Leannastarvou (Talk | contribs)who also removed all previous comments.}

Comment I appreciate what you say about the focus on US/UK music, however, this artist has merely had a record released, which is not notable in itself. Establish some notability and I would be happy to reconsider my previous comments. --Richhoncho 10:55, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment The most notable issue with regards to this artist for me at least (apart from his talent as a singer-songwriter) is that he is heaviliy involved with creating opportunities for musician of the two communities in the divided Island of Cyprus (ie Greek and Turkish Cypriots) to meet together through music either ro record or deliver live performances. This is an issue not noted in the article but evident on the island and in the LP (Poquito Loco)itself. Most notably the song Eastern Drums is a multi-lingual piece (Arabic English and Greek). There's no doubt this artist is important to Cyprus and in the grand scheme of things in terms of Cypriot youth Greek-Turkish relations. I think it would be narrow minded to delete related articles from Wikepedia (especially as they are not competing with any other 'notable' US or UK entries of the same name (Poquito Loco??). --tommcmillain 25 October 2006
