Khayat (singer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A singer with no importance shown. Speedy deletion tagging was contested by Þjarkur and per claims on the talk page, since the artist has participated in local pre-qualifers to the Eurovision without being selected though. No analytics in the reference section, no chart toppers, awards won and such. -- pr12402, February 28, 2020

 * Keep - This deletion has been contested over at Russian and Ukrainian Wiki as well for a reason. Per WP:GNG, WP:NMUSIC. BabbaQ (talk) 07:08, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * We are witnessing that the Russian folks (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия:К_удалению/27_февраля_2020#Khayat) are tending to delete the page, cause the notability criteria for musicians ВП:МУЗЫКАНТЫ (à la WP:MUSICBIO over here) are not met, while there are only news and interviews at hand as references. The Ukrainian folks (https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Вікіпедія:Статті-кандидати_на_вилучення/26_лютого_2020#Khayat) are tending to keep it, cause they want to promote all what is Ukrainian) and there are 3+1 intertwikies (3 of them are in the deletion process RU, UK, EN, though ¯\_(°ヮ°)_/¯). -- pr12402, February 28, 2020


 * Keep. The life and his activities were repeatedly covered in national informational and entertaining periodicals: magazine, tabloids , , on TV on national channels and Radio , , , , , , ; other TV channels, radio and newspapers: , ,, . In addition, the person is a laureate of the Ukrainian music award . Also in charts , . --Flavius1 (talk) 08:52, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I want note that the article was nominated for deletion simultaneously on English Wikipedia (26.02.2020 16:28) and Ukrainian Wikipedia (26.02.2020 16:35) by a Russian participant who was blocked there indefinitely. This happened due to the fact that an article was created on the Russian Wikipedia and it was immediately nominated for a speedy deletion. In Ukrainian Wikipedia, the article was created over a year ago. --Flavius1 (talk) 09:23, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * 1, 4, 8, 14 – interviews (not tertiary coverage)
 * 2, 3 are tabloids, as Flavius1 noted (we can’t rely upon the yellow press)
 * 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 13 – YouTube videos (~ social network-esque sources)
 * 9 – interview beefed up by a short announcement of performance
 * 11 – short news
 * 15 – short news from the Instagram post of artists. There are such awards (https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Українська_пісня_року), but they lack regularity, have only an UK Wiki page created only just 19 February, 2020, and not verified by a patroller over there yet, though.
 * 16, 17 – the #10 and #14 places in some charts of two city radio stations neither the nationwide ones, nor the FDR Charts mentioned over at List of record charts for Ukraine. -- pr12402, February 28, 2020


 * . Once again and more precisely. I think that person notable by criteria WP:SINGER (singers may be notable if meet at least one of the following criteria):
 * 1. Has been nominated for a major music award in Ukraine - Yearly Ukrainian National Awards (YUNA)
 * 2. Has won for a music award «Ukrainian song of the year» for song "Osoka" ( the music award was renewed after a three-year break. In the 2000s, the award was called Our Song )
 * 3. Has won second place in a major music competition in Ukraine - Vidbir 2020 ( Vidbir is a Ukrainian musical competition organized by STB and UA:PBC. The contest defines the representative of Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest ....it's like Melodifestivalen in Sweden or UMK in Finland).
 * 4. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network (see links above national radio and national TV).
 * 5. Has had a album on music chart (position on iTunes Chart #28 (February 02 2020); position on Apple Music Chart #6 (February 23 2020) ).
 * 6. Has been the subject of multiple published works, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, online versions of print media, radio and television (see links above). P.S. Links to YouTube are excerpts from television broadcasts of television channels Flavius1 (talk) 19:24, 28 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep as there is enough coverage to pass WP:GNG as well as claims to pass multiple criteria of WP:NMUSIC, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 01:06, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, for the same reasons of those who want this article kept. Davidgoodheart (talk) 01:54, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
