Previously deleted after AfD in January 2016 after having been accepted at AfC and protected against recreation [1] by User:RHaworth. Another version of the article has now been moved back into main article space. The main reference provided is an autobiography uploaded to MusicAfrica. The other references were I think available for consideration in the previous AfDs. They show some local coverage but not in my opinion then and now sufficient for WP:MUSICBIO notability so I am bringing this back to AfD once more. AllyD (talk) 17:07, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This is clearly not a new artist self-promoting. We are so fast in proposing deletion specially for non-English language artists. This one for example has been around for a number of years (since 2006) with 3 albums and 1 EP as solo in addition to being a member of a hip hop group with an album as well. Sources I have added are very varied from a number of articles not just self-published. Incidentally I wasn't aware of the earlier AfDed article. I just intervened as part of Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron where I have also intervened in hundreds of other articles as well. werldwayd (talk) 17:25, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - sources are good and varifies this singers albums. per WP:GNG. also, simply because the article has been deleted in the past does not mean it should automatically not be re-created at a later date. BabbaQ (talk) 22:26, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This article was tagged for speedy deletion under WP:CSD#G4 (recreation of deleted content). I decliend the speedy since this AfD was in progress and had attracted some support for being kept. I have no opinion on the final merits, as i cannot evaluate arabic sources.

Delete. Nothing of note has happened since the last deletion. That one should stand. There is no new independent reliable sources with any real depth of coverage about him. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:52, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as the Keep votes are actually not suggesting how this can better improved aside from its current state and this would be best deleted for now if the necessary improvements cannot be made swiftly. SwisterTwister talk 02:13, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
