The result was   delete. The book Pakhtoonwalee doesn't seem to have significant coverage of Khan, and WP:GHITS is not a valid reason to keep an article. After excluding these arguments, there appears to be a consensus to delete. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 10:23, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Recommend deletion. Went to move the article to the English title "Fay Khan" but found it to be salted. It doesn't appear that deletion took place as a result of community discussion, but repeated promotional content, so I thought to bring it here. A7 wouldn't apply due to claims of significance/importance and I don't personally find it to be overly promotional and if it was, it could be rectified through editing. Quite simply, I am unable to find sources that support notability in accordance with WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG. Cindy ( talk to me ) 10:13, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Can't we unsalt the english name and move it there, if not can you not simply make Fay Khan redirect to this page. Seasider91 (talk) 10:27, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. We could do that, but it isn't necessary. The issue here is the lack of notability. An AFD resulting in deletion would keep the article from being recreated under any other title, as well as the current one. Cindy  ( talk to me ) 10:44, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete and salt. There is no notability for this performer. I was unable to find any sources under his name at all. He doesn't pass WP:GNG, let alone the notability guidelines for entertainers. I suggest a salting of this title, as the necessity of salting the previous article titles suggests that otherwise this would end up being re-uploaded to the mainspace.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 13:15, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Do not keep under this title. Per WP:ENGLISH, either this page needs to be moved to a title in the English alphabet which would presumably be Fay Khan, or it needs to be deleted. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:22, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:44, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep A brief Google search comes up with enough results to convince me that this Pashto-language singer is notable . I agree that they're not the best of sources, but I am still inclined to believe that they guarantee passing notability at least. Just because the article's title is not in English should not necessarily mean that it should be deleted at face value; keep in mind systematic bias. The guy also has a mention in page 219 of the book Pakhtoonwalee: code of love & peace, le code de l'amour et de la paix by Idrees Asar (2005) . Quote:
