Arabic pop music

It's basically an empty article, and it has been four months and no one has really tried to make it an encyclopedia article; for that matter, it's not even quite a stub. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 20:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this version per nom, but no prejudice against someone actually rolling up their sleeves and writing an article on it. I'm surprised nobody has, frankly. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 21:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as an obviously notable topic and a perfectly serviceable stub. Stubs exist to prod someone to write more. It is almost certain that if we let someone create a new stub it will be uglier than this one (not wikified, stubified or categorized, for instance), so why nuke and start from Square Negative One? -- Dhartung | Talk 06:17, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * As it currently stands, it's only barely above a db-empty case (and then only by the addition of one sentence). BigHaz - Schreit mich an 06:58, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No more. I cribbed from a Christgau article to make it a real stub now. -- Dhartung | Talk 21:33, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * In that case, keep and keep going. I'll help where I can, but I'm utter shite at starting things like this. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:31, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Valid topic. Now of course, the stub has been a stub forever but that's not a big problem really. Keeping it as a stub rather than a redirect to List of Arab pop music performers and genres encourages expansion. Pascal.Tesson 23:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is of the nature of the project to perennially be incomplete.  The subject is obviously worthy. - Smerdis of Tlön 16:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as a highly noteworthy topic, notable and expandable. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 04:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
