[edit] Haivrit
Delete Not notable per wp:music, i don't think being a nominee for a televison stations "breakthrough artists" award can be considered major, but judge for yourself! Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 05:17, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep - i am the author of the article, so i may be biased, but as i said on the talk page: This band clearly satisfies nearly all of the criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (music). It is not MySpace-only kind of material. It released an album, had singles in the charts, it is notable in Israel and has an article in the Hebrew Wikipedia, which has very strict notability requirements. If you cannot read Hebrew and you don't believe me, just ask someone from Category:User he or Wikipedia:WikiProject Israel. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 07:00, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

- comment it's ok, i'm glad you're commenting, perhaps you should add something in the article to show that the band is notable. Like your assertion that they've charted in Israel's national charts. 1 album released doesn't assert notability. -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 07:39, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, that's hard. Israeli charts aren't archived as well as those in USA or UK. They were in heavy rotation on Galgalatz (paragraph 11) and i am quite sure that they were on the charts, too. If there's anyone here who can help me find old Galgalatz charts, i'll be very grateful.
- Furthermore, according to WP:MUSIC, being nominated for a major award does make the subject notable (paragraph 8). The award they were nominated isn't just some TV station listing, but one of the most important award ceremonies in Israel, comparable to MTV Video Music Awards. I also have a recording of their performance on a national radio show, and with the interview it's at least half an hour (paragraph 12).
- But most importantly, they satisfy paragraph 1: this band has been covered in MOOMA, which is not a wiki or a forum, but a professionally edited encyclopedia of Israeli music, and it has been the subject of numerous publications in the newspapers, and i'm talking about professional reviews, not just press releases. I already quoted some of them. It's very hard to Google them up, because their name is just the word "Hebrew" in Hebrew. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 10:47, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
