Benat Achiary

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Does not satisfy the criteria detailed at WP:MUSICBIO. He/she has released 1 CD by German label FMP (according to the article) and there is no coverage by reliable third party sources. ƒ(Δ)² 11:50, 25 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep A quick googling shows some source indicating he's indeed notable in his genre:, , . --Cyclopia (talk) 14:10, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The second site doesn't constitute a reliable source, and the third isn't in English. However the first one might indicate notability. The first source is fine (it's an interview), however that's the only reliable one I could find. He does, in fact, have a collection of Basque CDs to his name, all produced in collaboration with other people, I do not know if that is enough for notability. If I could get a third opinion, I'll withdraw/continue this AfD. ƒ(Δ)² 15:37, 25 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. The Google News and Google Books searches helpfully linked above show clear notability, with this singer being the subject of articles in publications such as Le Monde and being described as "the most famous figure in the French Basque music scene" in ISBN 9781858286358, amongst many other sources.
