Subject claims to be "renowned" but all relevant web hits appear to be self-published. Unable to find multiple third-party reliable sources to indicate notability. Article appears to be written by subject. OhNo itsJamie Talk 16:42, 7 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep. Appears to meet the slim standards of WP:MUSIC; recognized by Israeli media. THF (talk) 18:07, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, documented by Mooma, the most important encyclopedia of Israeli music. Released two albums through Hed Arzi and one album through Phonokol - both of them are major mainstream labels in Israel. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 12:35, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep and Cleanup. I found sources, 11 articles, all in the Jerusalem Post:   I would prefer sources from more than just a single media outlet, but given the fact that (a) those articles cover him in some detail, and (b) they span a broad time span, from 1989-2005, I would say this person ought to be included.  I am also finding a few tangential sources that lend credibility to some of the statements.  For example, this photograph attributed to him:  seems to resonate with his statements about being interested in whistles.  That said, material that is solely referenced in self-published sources, and un-backed-up POV language like "renowned" needs to be removed.  Cazort (talk) 00:39, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
