Asia Without Borders

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A recent music project written up by a pair of new accounts. The ugly set of naked URIs presented as references include links to YouTube and Wikipedia but do any of them demonstrate notability? &mdash; RHaworth 23:37, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete The article is structured to discuss the charity first, and then has a biography of each allegedly involved artist. All the references deal with claims made about the artist that have nothing to do with the subject of the article. I also note that this article seems to have been a recreation from “Asia without Borders”, a Canadian Musical Project, which was speedied yesterday as an A7 - ManicSpider (talk) 01:58, 7 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Do Not Delete I think this article is really useful and should not be deleted. It consists of useful information about a unique Canadian multicultural music project. Moreover, in my opinion all the URLs references look okay to me and it is not a vast issue for article deletion. The whole article is consistent and unified,too.

 * Do Not Delete As I have said before this is a grand musical project starting for the first time in march 2011 for multicultural and ethnic communities in Canada. Artists have gathered from Iran, India, China, and Turkey to start this project. This project is only a start of a continuous mission and it seeks funding from the Canadian government in the near future. Please do not delete this page since it is needed for people to understand its essence and goal. The artists named and presented in this article are renowned artists among their communities in Iran, China, India, and Turkey. To the best of our knowledge, it is the very first time that chinese and Persian Music are attempted to be blended in a musical settings. Further to that, it is the first that while the famous melodies of Asia are being musically explored, an English Storytelling is being presented for the wider western audience to follow the ancient myths of Asia.The reason the charity comes first is because it is part of the whole idea of this project. It is intended to raise money for different charity organizations in the globe. In addition the artists make up the performance side of this project each year. Therefore they have a lot to do with this article.(Habibz7 (talk) 02:22, 7 February 2011 (UTC)) — Habibz7 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * If it's only the start, you can add the article again once it has sufficient Reliable Sources to be considered Notable - see WP:RS and WP:GNG for what that means. At present, none of the sources there discuss the actual subject of the article. Wikipedia is not for "people to understand the essence and goal" of start-up projects. I understand the charity comes first - in fact, the charity should be all that is covered in the article, with links to the musicians articles (if they meet the notability guidelines for musicians). - ManicSpider (talk) 02:54, 7 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Do Not Delete I personally believe this article is in accordance with the usual standard on this website. Sources were cited and the message is delivered clearly. The article itself shows a high amount of effort was put into writing it.

 * Do Not Delete Well, I find this page very informative. Author tries to state the purpose of this project_ They are raising money for Charity_ then He/She is giving information about performers in this event. Its fair enough. I disagree with deleting the document. (99.237.73.175 (talk) 04:12, 7 February 2011 (UTC)) — 99.237.73.175 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Do Not Delete I understand that the project itself is a start-up, but most of the performers are quite notable and famous in their own community. The importance of this project (aside from being charity fund-raising) is that it is the very first time such collaboration of Iranian, Chinese, and Indian music is taking place. Also, by no means we want to use this page as promotional and advertisement material. As you can see there is no indication of actual concert date(s). The main goal is to keep this page solely as informative material, and no advertisement at all. --R m1364 (talk) 07:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC) — R m1364 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Do Not Delete I have changed some of the formats according to Wikipedia guidelines. Appreciate if you reconsider your decision. --R m1364 (talk) 08:55, 7 February 2011 (UTC) — R m1364 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete as spam. This article is a promotion for a music festival that is yet to happen.  There is no coverage in reliable sources about this music festival.  The sourcing in the article references portions of performer's biographic details but is not about this festival. -- Whpq (talk) 19:00, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: I have removed the huge list of biographical profiles from the article.  If the artists are notable, they should or already have their own separate articles on Wikipedia.  If they are not notable, this is not the place to publish information about them.  I have also removed the large link farm. -- Whpq (talk) 19:08, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - no notability under WP:N nor WP:CONCERT TOUR. It's promotional spam.  No significant coverage by third-party reliable sources. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 07:11, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Zero coverage found, although the phrase has been used many times in other contexts . I'm sure this is a worthy project, but it simply isn't notable by Wikipedia's criteria. --MelanieN (talk) 15:22, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
