Niazi Brothers

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The A7 prod of this article was removed, without a reflection of why it should not be deleted under A7, other than an assertion that the band is notable (without explanation as to why that is the case). The matter was discussed further at Talk:Niazi Brothers. I cannot find sufficient RS coverage or other indicia of notability myself, but invite others to seek to do so. At this point, though, I don't see sufficient indicia of notability to warrant maintaining this article. Epeefleche (talk) 23:51, 22 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Part of the problem is that Niazi Brothers is actually a corporate name for this group of qawwals, which spans several generations. Editors looking to beef up the article should search not just for "Niazi Brothers" but also by the names of the key members, who would include not only the current leader, Javed Taufiq Niazi, but also more importantly the older generation (who are really responsible for the group's reputation): Manzoor Niazi, Abdullah Manzoor Niazi and Makhmoor Niazi. --Sarabseth (talk) 00:08, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete not clear how this might meet WP:BAND or WP:CORP (if that even applies here). Prod removal and subsequent talk page discusion centers around WP:ILIKEIT instead of reliable sources demonstrating notability RadioFan (talk) 01:37, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
