Hewar

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This band article, tagged for OR and lack of citations for three years, was prodded under A7, and the prod was removed without any explanation as to why it met the A7 prod criteria. I've performed a wp:before search, and cannot myself find indicia of notability under wp standards, including sufficient RS coverage. Others are welcome to try.

 * Comment - a search found an article in the Daily Star (Lebanon) (here) and the transcript from an NPR interview here - payment required to see it. I can't read Arabic, but using the name of the band "حوار" and the name of the clarinetist (Kinan Azmeh - which would translate (according to GTranslate) to "العظمة حوار"), there are several hits on GNews in Arabic (see here). It would be good if an Arabic-reading editor could look at some of those. Without knowing how much coverage there actually is, I can't comment on whether it should be deleted or not - I only have the Daily Star coverage that I can see/read!

 * Keep I feel that the two sources I found are sufficient to meet notability - and if Arabic-readers could find other sources, that'd be perfect! I have been thinking about this for the last few days, since my comment, trying to decide whether this was a keep or delete, but I feel that there is just enough to warrant keeping it. It certainly needs work, and should the decision be to keep it (or a no-consensus), I will attempt to tidy it up and reference using the sources above. It might be that a redirect to Kinan Azmeh, or the one of the sources there can be used on this article. However, whether a keep, or a redirect, I think deletion is not the correct option here  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 11:05, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
