The result was delete. If additional sources can be found, it can be restored but at this point, it does not appear there are any to establish notability of the band but just its lead singer. So Why  18:12, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Sefarad (band)

Fails WP:GNG, WP:NBAND. Only passable source I could find about this group specifically (there are lots of sources about Sepharadi music more generally) I could find in either English or Spanish was this, which, while it appears to be hosted on their own website, seems to be a reposting of a magazine article. One source is insufficient for notability. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 15:09, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: I realized my obvious mistake in not including Turkish language sources in my original search. Here are the results of that: more sources, but nothing any more helpful. The Turkish Wikipedia article cites no sources. I had found the same promotional article about the band's lead singer on two different websites (CNNTurk and Hurriyet Kelebek), and there's room to debate whether that article's coverage of the band proper is significant. There's this interview, which is of course not an independent source (because it's band members talking about the band). There's this press release. I can't run this through a translator, so input from someone who can read Turkish would be appreciated, but it looks like it's discussing the lead singer again. And then a couple other articles that discuss the lead singer without any significant coverage of the band. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 15:30, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete No evidence is apparent which demonstrates notability in any independent sources. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 06:55, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment As this group is targeted toward a Jewish audience, it's possible sources may be found in Hebrew as well. I would like to hear from editors who speak/read Hebrew and/or Turkish before making a vote. RS will be in these languages and mere translation searches by non-fluent editors isn't a very reliable way of doing WP:BEFORE.4meter4 (talk) 13:20, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
