Talk:Kemal Malovčić

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because Kemal Malovčić was an extremely good selling musician in the 80's. The rules state that a musician is notable if:
 * "Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country". Well, Mr. Malovčić had (at least) the following: 6 diamond, 2 platinum, 1 gold
 * "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)". His pre-1991 albums were released on Diskos (record label).
 * "Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability." This doesn't require much explanation, as he is a household name in Bosnia and Serbia, and also popular in the rest of fomer Yugoslavia. His 50+ years career confirms this.

I admitt, we need stronger sources. However, those are extremely hard to find when talking about folk musicians, as that kind of music is usually marginalized by the mainstream press. I would like any help on improving this article, but it's deletion is, if you ask me, simply not reasonable. --StjepanHR (talk) 12:51, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
