Irfan Khan (singer)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I know there's endemic bias when it comes to the coverage of non-Western performers, but there's no real claim of notability here, and nothing to verify his notablity. A search for '"Irfan Khan" Brekhna' comes up with 32 Google hits, nothing of them a reliable source. Nothing in Google news. Corvus cornix talk  22:00, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Unsourced article about a living person containing information which as of yet cannot be verified. A total rewrite based on reliable sources would be needed if they do exist to be found. Guest9999 (talk) 00:03, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Please Do not Delete: Irfan is a very well know singer in the Pashtun Community both in Pakistan and Afghanistan. I am trying to find some articles about him.
