Mesut Kurtis

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The article does not assert any criteria for notability per WP:MUSIC. He appears to only have one album and there is no reference to any songs charting or references for significant media coverage or national tours. Nv8200p talk 20:26, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 09:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Nick—Contact/Contribs 00:30, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:ATT, as there are no sources to verify notability. Nor was there anything relevant found when searching Google News, allmusic, MP3.com or even Amazon.com.-- TBC Φ  talk?  00:48, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * KEEP Why would you delete an article like this. The more factual articles on Wikipedia, the better. This is actually a relatively long article. What would anybody accomplish by deleting it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.126.170.194 (talk • contribs) 03:39, 11 Mar 2007  (UTC)
 * WP:ILIKEIT, Wikipedia is not for truth or fact but for verifiability, don't spam AFD. --Iamunknown 04:17, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I can barely find anything on this performer - definitely not verifiable. -- Chairman S. Talk  Contribs  07:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. I'm not sure what search engines eveyone is using, here are the 27000+ returns on artist name and style, 80000+ returns on just name and an Amazon page on the artist. However, I have no idea if any are reliable sources. If someone does add some sources before the end of the AfD i will reconsider. Nuttah68 15:01, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * That's strange. Kurtis seems to show up on Amazon UK but not on Amazon.com.-- TBC Φ  talk?  22:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, no assertion of notability. --Mus Musculus 18:01, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. The guy's music is on Rhapsody, E-music and iTunes, and I don't suppose it's hugely unusual that a Macedonian folk singer isn't getting NY Times reviews.  Let's not go completely US-centric here.  RGTraynor 18:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
