[edit] Karel Plíhal

Fails to meet Wikipedia:Notability (music) criteria Gene Nygaard 05:29, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. The article seems to be a stub, but at near 100,000 google matches on his/her name (and that's on non-english websites) this muso appears notable to me. But I don't read Czech so I'd be interested in more information. ॐ Metta Bubble ^puff 06:42, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• It's not even really a stub; the entire text is "Karel Plíhal (born 1958) is a hugely celebrated Czech musician." That has been there for five months. If nobody's found anything useful to say about him in that time, it is time to at least question his notability. Gene Nygaard 07:10, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and expand, he looks quite notable [1] and here's the Czech wikipedia article on him: [2]. I've put it on translation request. -- Samir ∙ T C 10:13, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand per above. --Terence Ong 13:36, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep *Delete if its sat for 5months nobodys going to expand it. Ill think again when theres information there. Me thinks again. Defunkier 14:13, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Me thinks again. Defunkier 13:17, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand, he looks quite notable, per Samir. --Tone 15:38, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, significant evidence of notability. Monicasdude 16:09, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I have expanded the article based on the Radio Prague information so that it is a decent stub. He has released 9 albums to date and won four Czech folk music awards so he meets our music notability guidelines. He has released at least one live album so he presumably meets our tour sections of the guidelines. Capitalistroadster 20:58, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. There are dozens of more notable Czech musicians but Plíhal's name is known. (Samir, don't expect much from the translation request, those who could do it are in shortage.) Pavel Vozenilek 23:33, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Capitalistroaderster. kotepho 05:50, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Pavel --MaNeMeBasat 07:14, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. He is quite notable. I hope I will find time soon to translate the Czech article. pabouk 14:18, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
