Ibrahim Yaji

I've removed the PROD on this, as the talkpage comment implies that it is contested. This artist appears to fail the GNG. A brief google search only turns up self published stuff like here, facebook youtube etc. There is enough assertion of notability for it to not be speediable either. --Ged UK 20:12, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails to have enough independent reliable non-trivial resources to establish notability. I do hope that one day he does. Drawn Some (talk) 21:23, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If we could read Russian we might find some more sources. I'm minded to be critical, as the article is autobiography, but for instance this is an interview in a Russian magazine:[1]. Should we get someone from WP:WikiProject Russia to take a look before we delete? Fences and windows (talk) 04:15, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! There have been a great discussion about my page on the Russian version of Wikipedia, and at the end people came to an opinion that the page has the right to be published because I gave a lot of links to articles about it.

I understand that you could not find a lot about me on Google search, and that is because I live in Russia, and the Russian Google search with my name in Russian Ибрагим Яжи, gives more results.

Please check out the discussion on the end of this page [2]

Sorry for keeping silence for a long time, actually I was very busy with the Russian edition, and discussion, also having my diploma process in Moscow conservatory. --Ibrahim Yaji (talk) 23:00, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Finally the Russian article was deleted after a long discussion. We carefully analyzed all sources, including Russian and Arabic, however did no find enough notability to be included in the Wikipedia. Sorry, Ibrahim, I believe some day you will be famous and somebody will write article about you, but not at this moment. --RedAndr (talk) 18:51, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The article in the Russian magazine was all I could find other than videos, blogs and appearance listings, although one is a TV interview[3] - Ibrahim, what is the channel and date? As there isn't significant coverage of Ibrahim or his work in reliable sources, I'm leaning towards deleting. Sorry. Fences and windows (talk) 02:13, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
