[edit] Mohamed Mooge Liban

Mohamed Mooge Liban (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Claim of notability, but no sources, no Google hits with this spelling. I don't know how to verify any of this unsourced information. Corvus cornix 22:39, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Likely hoax. It should be worth noting that Liibaan is a city in Somalia.--Sethacus 23:12, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I found him as "Mohamed Mooge" or "Mohamed Mooge Liban", accompanied by the song names as cited in the article, at [1],

[2], [3] and [4], which last spells his name as "Mogeh". All these sites have something to do with Somali music and one or two of them cite him as being a bit of a revolutionary (that is, if it's the same guy being cited consistently, since the spellings are a bit of a problem). I'd also suggest that it's worth stretching to include musicians outside the English-speaking world to improve Wikipedia's reach. Accounting4Taste 00:48, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, Wikipedia has many singers in other languages in it but I see no references in the article.. So a written I say get rid of it. Callelinea 01:08, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment I've just added the four references above to the article. Accounting4Taste 01:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep; although his name seems to be properly spelled "Mohamed Mooge Liibaan" (but that might be transliteration woes). He appears to have had at least some significant media coverage as well; it doesn't look like much, but relying solely on Google for an African artist is fraught with american/european bias. — Coren (talk) 01:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the sourcing, I'll withdraw this. Like I said, the only reason I listed it here was because I couldn't find any sources. If there had been anything, I wouldn't have listed it. It was most definitely not an American bias issue. Corvus cornix 16:49, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per Callelinea. I'm aware of the WP:CSB issue but can't find notability. Stifle (talk) 20:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Note that while the nominator has withdrawn, this can't be early closed as there are other delete votes. Stifle (talk) 20:08, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Appears frequently mentioned on African sites, and appear notable there. Rotovia 07:46, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment; I've moved the article to Mohamed Mooge Liibaan, which is the spelling used by most (all?) sources. — Coren (talk) 12:43, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
