Aristidis Moschos

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article has remained unsourced for more than a decade, has clearly been very roughly translated, the biography section is completely fails notability guidelines, and the article in general does not seem to meet notability standards either. In addition, the content reads like it was written by a family member or friend, introducing other NPOV issues. Fritzmann2002 T, c, s, t 11:42, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. The corresponding article in the Greek Wikipedia at el:Αριστείδης Μόσχος is longer and has more references. Those references may be enough to establish notability. The Greek article says that he had three gold records. If someone has access to Greek music charts, they might be able to confirm this claim.  Eastmain (talk • contribs) 13:29, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * The Greek charts probably won't help as the subject died in 2001, there are no archives of the Greek charts before 2010, and they don't show certifications. Confirmation will have to come from Greek newspapers and magazines. Richard3120 (talk) 20:35, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. I listed this at the Greek delsort specifically to attempt attracting a translator, per Eastmain's information. —&#8288; 烏&#8288;Γ (kaw) │ 01:33, 10 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep. In Greece he is a well known master of santur; he is considered to be among the finest vitruosos of this traditional instrument. When Moschos died many Greek mainstream media published or uploaded obituaries for him. For example, the Greek daily Kathimerini in its printed version stated inter alia for the late Moschos that he was one of the most popular Greek artists of traditional music, and a master interpreter of santur ("Ορφάνεψε το σαντούρι του Αριστείδη Μόσχου", November 10, 2001). The Greek mainstream portal ogdoo.gr had an hommage on him right after his death, writing about his life, his art,  stating the numerous collaboration of Moschos as a master folk instrumentalist (and sometimes credited as a composer, too) with many important Greek composers and singers like Stavros Xarchakos, Yannis Markopoulos, Giorgos Dalaras, Glykeria, Giannis Parios, Alkistis Protopsalti et.al. Moreover, a couple of years before his death the mainstream Greek daily Ta Nea hosted an interview of him, presented as "great musician" . The Prefecture of Aitoloakarnania (the regional authority of his hometown, near Agrinio) had him honored for his life achievements as an artist (see in this page, where a photo of his three golden records []  illustrates his uploaded biography). Finally, his life has been the subject of a diploma dissertation by a student at the Technological Educational Institute of Epirus in 2017. ——Chalk19 (talk) 16:17, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep as shown above he has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources such as national newspapers and therefore deserves a place in the encyclopedia and he has major claims of significance which have been shown to be verifiable above, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 22:27, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
