And even with you a limited number do not refer to the singer. --Pan Gerwazy 11:35, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep or merge entertainer who had a national audience and was undoubtably the subject of multiple non-trivial coverage. Kappa 05:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Kappa, do you really believe Wikipedia should be a spam ground? Many of these articles are in a mess (Isabekova's is a prime example) and look like a vehicle for promoting "Pop Idol". Let's concentrate on the ones who finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd, not forgetting that "one that got away" (Isabekova). By the way, some people in the West CAN check by way of Google, (it's just copy and paste) but when you do not put the Russian version, but (only) the Kazakh one with diacritics, 1) you ensure that they are going to find fewer hits (the Russian versions still dominate from 1:100 to 1:1000 2) if the Westerner knows about this problem, he will have to install Russian keyboard software to overtype the special letter.--Pan Gerwazy 11:35, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think this is spam, there is nothing overly promotional or POV. I also don't see why wikipedia readers shouldn't be able to read about someone who's been on national television multiple times. Also this one did come third, so where is your "keep" vote? Kappa 09:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I am only an Australian interested in the format of SuperStar KZ, I can only do so much since I do not live in Kazakhstan & experience the music industry first hand. The articles I created are not "spam" (such an ignorant saying), they are centered AROUND SuperStar KZ, but have important useful information concerning the show. Perhaps local Kazakhs can help in this sense, after all that is why we have stubs - or are they just a farceade to Wikipedia as well?ZlatkoT 09:57, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. "201" Cyrillic G-hits at the most. Actually, from 66 sites. That looked promising, was this a name that now and them popped up in the press? - until I noticed she has a namesake ... So, no notoriety here, I am afraid. --Pan Gerwazy 11:35, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
