Euphrates (Iraqi hip hop band)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article was nominated for speedy deletion per A7, non-notability. There is an assertion of notability in the article, in multiple outside coverage in sources independent of the subject. I don't know if those sources are non-trivial though, and whether they are enough to establish the notability of the subject. That's why I'm bringing this to AFD. Procedural move, no opinion.

 * Delete. I kind of have my doubts about the reliability and non-triviality of those sources; there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of salvageable material here. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 19:27, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, not much in Google News Archive to prove they meet WP:MUSIC, but there are some indications they may have toured Canada (they're from Montreal), which would suffice. Albums are self-published. --Dhartung | Talk 22:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Quebec-related deletions.   -- Canuckle 22:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Fix the citations and keep - If those citations are valid; maybe attempt to search Google for more or better citations to satisfy notability. "A7"? --Remi 09:58, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Enough of an assertion not to warrant A7 (although in its current state could probably be G11, but those sources are about as trivial as you can get short of myspace pages. It's an ungooglable title so relies on someone with a knowledge of the field adding something by the end of the AfD —  irides centi   (talk to me!)  22:00, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete from this Wikipedia without prejudice to their inclusion on their local one. As has been stated they aren't googlable, which means they have no references in English, which suggests that they are probably not notable outside the Iraq. However in Iraq they might be the biggest thing since... ...er... ...the supergun. However as notability for this wikipedia cannot be ascertained, we should delete it here.

 * Comment If they're notable in Iraq they're notable anywhere per WP policy. This is the English-language Wikipedia, not the US Wikipedia —  irides centi   (talk to me!)  16:09, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
