 * Keep. I added two newspaper articles as references. -- Eastmain (talk) 23:40, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The first ref doesn't even mention the article's subject, but refers to his father. The second ref just confirms he's a Qawwal musician, everything else in the article remains unsourced. RMHED (talk) 00:32, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * International touring is one of the criteria for WP:MUSIC, and the Times of India article confirms that this musician from Pakistan has performed in India. -- Eastmain (talk) 00:39, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Poorly written and a lack of sources are not reasons to delete, they are a reason to tag, or better yet, a reason to improve the article. Appears that sources are available, although not all in English (which doesn't matter).  Tag and keep.   P HARMBOY  ( moo ) ( plop ) 00:37, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Eastmain's research and Pharmboy's comments. - Mgm|(talk) 08:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The nominator says "either it should be sourced or deleted" but it doesn't seem that he/she made any attempt to source it, which should be the first of those options tried. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:35, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Doesn't seem like the nominator made any attempt to improve the article via regular editing processes per deletion guidelines.  I don't think it's appropriate to have an AfD until it has been shown that the article can not be improved to compliance.  All the evidence points to the opposite; there's plenty of sources out there, and lots of room for improvement.  Celarnor Talk to me  15:26, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
